Sin takes that which is good and uses it to bring about death.

The commandment is not an exercise of the control of God over his image bearers but the care of God for us.

The emphasis is on what Jesus has done rather than on what I must do.

Eternal life does not mean “when we all get to heaven.” It means heaven is now here.

It is time to move beyond the slavish ways of our own self-will and sense of commitment and into a life of everyday abandoned consecration to Jesus—as Master, as Lord.

The Bible thinks of perfect not as flawlessness but as fullness—the fullness of Jesus by the Holy Spirit.

The focus is not on me and my sin. The focus is on Jesus and his life.

You are dead to Sin, and Sin is dead to you.

Jesus, the image of God in the form of a human being, made himself nothing and took on the nature of a slave.

There are only two stories. The story of Adam and the story of Jesus.

As the life of Jesus becomes the depth of our memory, it will become the breadth of our imagination.

Amazing grace can only come from one place: amazing love.
