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

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

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

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?

---

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

---

How do you change your behavior? Change what you worship

---

Trust is accepting what God sends into your life whether you understand it or not.

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

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.
