hands long bitterness
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. Much of our anger and bitterness, therefore, is God prying open our hands and taking away something we've held onto more tightly than him.
crush law grace
Grace could not have done it’s curing work if the law had not first done its crushing work.
people alive dead-people
The gospel doesn't make bad people good, it makes dead people alive.
heart people church
There are a still lot of people in today's church who can easily identify the idolatry outside the church and are pretty proud of the fact that they are not like them. And yet, we are far too slow to recognize the idolatry inside the church and more painfully, the idolatry inside our hearts.
christian grace rediscovery
The Christian life has been nothing more and nothing less than a daily dependence on and a rediscovery of God's grace.
transformation
God is the one to be praised, not our transformation.
christian moving movement
The gospel doesn't just ignite the Christian life but it keeps Christians growing and growing every day. There's no reason to move beyond the gospel. There's only movement more into it.
christian people church
When we reduce the notion of “calling” to work inside the church, we fail to equip our people to apply their Christian faith to everything they do, everywhere they are.
entitlement legalism complainers
Legalism breeds a sense of entitlement that turns us into complainers.
self sometimes weak
Sometimes God has to remind you that you're weak so that you can be set free from your "self-sufficiency."
pain rescue rescue-me
God did not rescue me out of the pain, He rescued me through the pain!
thinking important church
I think it's super important for the church itself to rediscover the gospel.
jesus acceptance self
I never realized how much I've become dependent on human approval until God took it away. I didn't even realize that I was in a self-made prison of human approval and human acceptance. Most of the prisons we live in we are not conscious of. God showed me Jesus plus nothing equals everything. And everything minus Jesus equals nothing. That set me free.
grace may easier
The smaller you get-the smaller life makes you-the easier it is to see the grandeur of grace. While I am far more incapable than I may have initially thought, God is infinitely more capable than I ever hoped.
