When we depend on anything smaller than God to provide us with the security, significance, meaning, and value that we long for, God will love us enough to take it away.

Grace frees you to be honest about what you've always known to be true about yourself: that you're weaker & more afraid than you want to be.

Thankfully, while our self-righteousness reaches far, God's grace reaches farther.

Explanations are a substitute for trust.

The people who have taught me the most about grace are those who have blown it so bad that they know how much they need it.

My job is not to show my children that I'm the man, but to show them that Christ is the man.

When it comes to engaging and influencing culture, too many Christians think too highly of political activism.

Jesus plus nothing equals everything everything minus Jesus equals nothing.

The only thing that frees you from the need to pretend in order to make people believe you are something when you are actually not is the gospel because the gospel tells you that identity, my meaning, my security, and all of those things are in Christ.
