Christianity isn’t about our faith. It’s about God’s faithfulness to His promises.

People have often tended, quite wrongly, to view me as saintly. I attribute that undeserved reputation to the fact I have always had a very strong sense of the kind of person I should be.

The common knock against “grace people” (or to put it another way, “Christians”) is that preaching too much grace will encourage licentious living.
05/23/17
My experience as a Christian did not revolve around Christ. It revolved around asking, “What is God’s will for my life?” Hunting the answer to this question was my god, and I paid homage to it every day.

Jesus is faithful even when we are faithless. He is our Strength, and Song, and Salvation. He's all this for us because He is God, and God is love.

He has given you clothing and shoes, food and drink, house and home—as well as grocery stores, carpenters, and farmers to provide those goods.

True faith, saving faith that receives the good news about the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world is a faith created in us by the Holy Spirit through the Gospel.

You are God’s people. Yet you are nothing in the world’s sight. To be honest, often less than nothing. Don’t feel bad, I’m nothing with you.

Every Christian face-plants. It doesn’t matter how long we’ve been saved by grace, we still face-plant.

Likewise, when God says, "Do this and you will live," we go about under the illusion that we have the ability to accomplish what God demands of us.

Beware the lament, dear readers, that is not soothed with the good-goods of Jesus.

You may be surprised to discover that, rather than changing your theology, these other voices deepen and expand it in ways that never would have happened if you listened only to the “approved” voices.
