jesus judging judgement
The Gospel announces that Jesus came to acquit the guilty. He came to judge and be judged in our place. Christ came to satisfy the deep judgment against us once and for all so that we could be free from the judgement of God, others, and ourselves.
people grace needs
People who know they are not good make the best messengers of grace because they are desperately aware of their own need for it.
husband kids writing
Between writing, traveling, speaking, preaching, and doing my best to be a good husband to my wife and my three kids, that's about as much as one man or at least this man can do.
grace needs problem
Even one who has been to God a million times with the same problem need not fear exhausting the grace of God.
long faces faults
As long as I am focusing on the faults of others, then I don't have to face my own.
sorry feels superiors
It's better to feel sorry for doing something bad than to feel superior for doing something good.

When it comes to understanding and appreciating grace, our biggest problem is our so-called goodness...not our self-perceived badness.

The ironic thing about legalism is that it not only doesn't make people work harder, it makes them give up. Moralism doesn't produce morality; rather, it produces immorality.
jobs america church
My job as a pastor and theologian is to tease out the nature and the necessity of the gospel in meticulous ways, in everything I say, in everything I like. I want desperately for the church in America to rediscover the power and the beauty and the nature and the necessity of the gospel.
jobs divorce loss
If you have suffered the loss of a family member to chronic disease, if you suffer debilitating seasons of depression, if you have lost your job and livelihood, gone through a divorce that came out of the blue, know that God is not punishing you. He is not waiting for you to do something.
hurt real people
People who haven't experienced major setbacks sometimes feel that their hurts are somehow less legitimate or real.
jesus
Because Jesus was someone, you’re free to be no one.
i-dont-need-you deeds want
Every time we sin in thought, word, or deed, we're essentially saying in that moment that, "I don't need you God. I don't want you God. I like my way better than your way."
