The truth about grace and truth
Jesus offered neither a feel-good theology, nor legalistic attitudes of harsh condemnation. He came bringing grace and truth at their best and most compelling.

God mowed me over with grace
We need to forgive everybody who has ever hurt us. EVERYBODY.
Slaying the dragon of self-hatred
One of the most frequent problems I deal with in counseling and coaching is self-hatred. People often tell me, “I know God loves and forgives me, but I can’t forgive myself. I hate myself.” Self-hatred is every bit as much a sin as other-directed hatred. We are all God’s image bearers and, although we might not like aspects of ourselves,…
The challenge of grace
Grace saves and then teaches because God loves us so much he doesn't let us stay just the way we are.

My kitchen table is a little like me. It started out new and fresh. But, then you live a little and before you know it you’re covered in scratches and permanent stains.
