suffering littles needs
There's nothing like suffering to remind us how not in control we actually are, how little power we ultimately have, and how much we ultimately need God.
law failing loses
When you fail to distinguish Law and Gospel, you lose both.
news remember sin
In those moments when I'm obsessively counting my sins against me, it is good news to remember that God has counted my sins against Christ.
law grace way
The way of God's grace becomes indispensable when we realize that the way of God's law is inflexible.
jesus done christianity
The hub of Christianity is not "do something for Jesus." The hub of Christianity is "Jesus has done everything for you".
resistance sin luther
When Martin Luther was asked what we contribute to our salvation, he said, "Sin and resistance"
jesus doe remember
Because of Jesus the sin we cannot forget God does not remember.
people grace needs
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.
thinking church moments
I actually think one of most profoundly and deep pastoral moments between a pastor and his church is what happens between them before God in the context of preaching.
people forgiving news
The bad news that we are all guilty is met with the best news that God loves and forgives guilty people.
christian jesus focus
The focus of the Christian faith is not our morality; it is Jesus, who died for our immorality.
strong two suffering
Suffering reveals to us the two things that ultimately matter: that we are weak but He is strong.
mom spiritual dad
I've got three kids. I worry about them but the gospel freed me and freed my wife. We are not trying to make our kids think that we're super spiritual or we've got it all together. They see mom and dad being real people. What they hear dad talking about at home is not different from what they see from dad [at church]. That won't guarantee that they'll avoid the whole PK, MK thing. But we are hopefully not contributing to what normally produces that crisis, which is pretending.
grace gods-grace messy
God's grace meets us in messy places because messy places are all that there are.
