grace needs fruit
Graciousness is the fruit of someone who knows how badly they themselves need grace.
grace needs stories
In 'Surprised by Grace: God's Relentless Pursuit of Rebels,' I retell the story of Jonah and show how Jonah was just as much in need of God's grace as the sailors and the Ninevites.
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.
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.
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.
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.
moving church needs
Because the church has moved away from the gospel anytime you move away from the gospel, you at the same time move toward pretense, you move toward image-keeping, you move toward the need to pretend.
real needs christ
Real, pure, unadulterated freedom happens when the resources of the gospel smash any sense of need to secure for myself anything beyond what Christ has already secured for me.
strings-attached balance needs
Contrary to what we conclude naturally, the gospel is not too good to be true. It is true! Its the truest truth in the entire universe. No strings attached! No fine print to read. No buts. No conditions. No qualifications. No footnotes. And especially, no need for balance.
jesus men needs
Jesus is not the man at the top of the stairs; He is the man at the bottom, the friend of sinners, the savior of those in need of one. Which is all of us, all of the time.
self get-better needs
The more I focused on my need to get better the worse I actually got - the more neurotic and self-conscious and self-absorbed I became.
suffering answers needs
We don't need answers and explanations as much as we need God's presence in and through the suffering.
people grace needs
The people who tend to be the most gracious are those who know how badly they need grace
doe needs neighbor
Passive righteousness tells us that God does not need our good works. Active righteousness tells us that our neighbor does. The aim and direction of good works are horizontal, not vertical.
