bad believe coping failure good people
Believe it or not, Christianity is not about good people getting better. If anything, it is good news for bad people coping with their failure to be good.
blessed people records
Contrary to popular assumptions, the Bible is not a record of the blessed good, but rather the blessed bad. Thats not a typo. The Bible is a record of the blessed bad. The Bible is not a witness to the best people making it up to God; its a witness to God making it down to the worst people.
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.
teacher people desperate
The best evangelists, the best preachers, the best teachers are desperate people.
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 forgiving news
The bad news that we are all guilty is met with the best news that God loves and forgives guilty people.
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.
giving-up hard-work people
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.
hurt real people
People who haven't experienced major setbacks sometimes feel that their hurts are somehow less legitimate or real.
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 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.
jesus people messages
If we're not reaching the same people Jesus reached, then we're not preaching the same message Jesus preached.
people killing accepted
I was always in places where I was widely accepted, approved and loved and I was finally in a place where people did not approve of me, did not accept me and did not love me. It was killing me.
