Grace (263)
  1. Sometimes the old story is the one we need to hear again and again.
  2. The great lie of addiction is that suffering must be fled, must be numbed, must be drowned out by any means necessary.
  3. In grace, God chooses to love his people.
  4. The love of God is creative, always giving, always reviving.
  5. In Scripture, laments are raw expressions of grief, but they always point to hope. What if our culture’s obsession with holiday lights is an unconscious way of crying out, “We need good news, and we need it now”?
  6. It is Jesus himself who is the ladder by which sinners get to God, not by them climbing up but by God climbing down.
  7. We can do nothing to warrant entry into the kingdom of God nor are we getting in if we think a seat at God’s table is something to which we are entitled.
  8. The gospel is for sinners – both the tax collector and Pharisee, both in need of the Great Physician.
  9. Some part of us always wants our ability under the law to be just as important (or more) than grace.
  10. Applying the pressure of law to ensure you do not to take grace for granted squeezes the life and power out of the gospel.
  11. Jonah’s biggest blunder was a failure to understand that God’s grace is always undeserved and always falls on those who are unworthy of it.
  12. He shows up when we are at our worst to usher us back to his side, lead us to repentance, rescue us, and reclaim us as his own.
