I never had an intellectual struggle with the Bible, with the gospel, with the claims of Christ.

From the time God saved me at 21 years old, I've always been fascinated by the parables of Jesus.

Even those of us who have tasted the radical saving grace of God find it intuitively difficult not to put conditions on grace.
inspirational honesty suffering
The good news of suffering is that it brings us to the end of ourselves - a purpose it has certainly served in my life. It brings us to the place of honesty, which is the place of desperation, which is the place of faith, which is the place of freedom.

Even political insiders recognize that years of political effort on behalf of Evangelical Christians have generated little cultural gain.

Holy Saturday. The best reminder that the silence of God doesn't equal the absence of God.

Christmas is the beachhead of God’s campaign against sin and sadness, darkness and death, fear and frustration.

The law is God's first word; the gospel is God's final word.
finals judgment passing
The passive righteousness of faith frees me from passing final judgment on myself.
kids wife people
When I was 25, I believed I could change the world. At 41, I have come to the realization that I cannot change my wife, my church, or my kids, to say nothing of the world. Try as I might, I have not been able to manufacture outcomes the way I thought I could, either in my own life or other people's.
