ideas done christ
When we imply that our works are for God and not our neighbor, we perpetuate the idea that God's love for us is dependent on what we do instead of on what Christ has done.
thinking grace littles
Disobedience happens not when we think too much grace but when we think too little of it
grace different life-is
God's grace is so counterintuitive and everything we do in our life is just based on conditions. You do this for me and I'll do that for you. Or if you don't do this for me, I won't do that for you. And God's grace works in a completely different direction.
grace needs fruit
Graciousness is the fruit of someone who knows how badly they themselves need grace.
risk wonderful reservations
When you don't have anything to lose, you discover something wonderful: you're free to take great risks without fear or reservation.
jesus wife leader
The gospel sets us free to become the romantic leaders of our marriages without fright or hesitation. Because we have been forever wooed by Jesus, we are now free to forever woo our wives.
confusion suffering truth-is
The truth is that when it comes to suffering, if we do not go to our graves in confusion, we will not go to our graves trusting. Explanations are a substitute for trust.
roots giving facts
What is indisputable is the fact that unbelief is the force that gives birth to all of our bad behavior and every moral failure. It is the root.
idols failing christ
If you uproot the idol and fail to plant the love of Christ in its place, the idol will grow back.
religious hard-work acceptance
A religious approach to marriage is the idea that if we work hard enough at something, we can earn the acceptance, approval, and life we think we deserve because of our obedient performance.
silence absence holy
Holy Saturday. The best reminder that the silence of God doesn't equal the absence of God.
law firsts finals
The law is God's first word; the gospel is God's final word.
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.
finals judgment passing
The passive righteousness of faith frees me from passing final judgment on myself.
