“We need to remember that we are saved by grace when we fail. But we need to remember it much more when we succeed.”

This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less.

Pride is the carbon-monoxide of Sin. It silently and slowly kills you without you even knowing.

A life of gratitude to God for being saved is far more pleasing than a life based on self-righteousness over being good.

There are some needs only you can see. There are some hands only you can hold. There are some people only you can reach.

Jesus didn’t come to tell us the answers to the questions of life, he came to be the answer.

Legalistic remorse says, “I broke God’s rules,” while real repentance says, “I broke God’s heart.”

The Bible’s purpose is to show you how God’s grace breaks into your life against your will and saves you from the sin and brokenness otherwise you would never be able to overcome…

God became someone we could hurt. Why? To get us back… No other religion-whethe r secularism, Greco-Roman paganism, Eastern religion, Judaism, or Islam-believes God became breakable or suffered or had a body.

Christ did not suffer so you wouldn’t suffer. He suffered so when you suffer you will become like Him.

Yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.

If the church does not identify with the marginalized, it will itself be marginalized. This is God’s poetic justice.

If we have not seen our sin and sought radical forgiveness from God, we will be unable to forgive and to seek the good of those who have wronged us.

I love being married. I love my husband. I think married people always have that thing where they think that the grass is greener on the single side, but all my single friends are like,

There are dreams in my eyes that hold you. Even with the moon and the stars, I would still look at you. On the hard days, I hope you remember what you mean to me. You are magic the world failed to see. You are my dream come true.

Many fail to realize this great recording industry was built by so-called jazz artists.

Sectarian politics gets votes in Iraq. But sectarian government fails in Iraq.

When all else fails, read the instructions.

I think ought to have more and correct some of the matters fate fails to take care of.
