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.

To discover the real you, look at what you spend time thinking about when no one is looking.

---

In the original language, 'Fear the Lord' doesn't mean be afraid. It means sustaining a joyful, astonished awe, and wonder before Him.

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.

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

---

God looks at the anxious and says, I tore my Son to shreds for you, and you're afraid I will not give you what you need?

---

If God is not at the center of your life, something else is.

---

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

---

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.

---

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