The Gospel is good news not good advice. Advice = what we should do. News = report of what was done for us.

The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.

---

The basic purpose of prayer is not to bend God's will to mine, but to mold my will into His.

---

The Gospel is that Jesus Christ came to earth, lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died.

---

God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.

---

Worry is not believing God will get it right, and bitterness is believing God got it wrong.

---

The only love that won’t disappoint you is one that can’t change, that can’t be lost, that is not based on the ups and downs of life or of how well you live. It is something that not even death can take away from you. God’s love is the only thing like that.

How do you change your behavior? Change what you worship

---

When Job was prospering, he prayed. When he was suffering, he still prayed.

---

Change won’t happen through ‘trying harder’ but only through encountering the radical grace of God.
