Every time you judge someone, you're looking at the last chapter of their story and pretending you know the whole book. You don't know their wounds, their battles, their breaking points. The same grace you need when you're at your worst? They need it too. Judge less. Love more.


Happy Sunday!!! A word of encouragement!

Pink Floyd’s song “One Slip” has been playing in my head all morning. It’s about how one impulsive decision—one moment of weakness, one reckless choice—can change everything. It’s about that fragile moment between control and chaos — when a single misstep redirects your life. The…

Peter alone walked on water to Jesus, but we tend to focus on him sinking. Thomas alone said they should go with Jesus, even if they died, but we tend to focus on his later unbelief. Lord, help us not to fixate on people's failures but rejoice in their fidelities.

Condemnation might knock on your door, but it has no authority in your house. You're in Christ. Shame has no power over your identity. Guilt has no claim on your standing. Your acceptance is secure, and condemnation can't change that.

Camus nailed it: “The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” That’s what the gospel does—it creates holy rebels. Grace doesn’t domesticate you, it detonates you. It makes you so free that you no…

Progress today won’t make God love you more. Failure won’t make Him love you less. You’re secure in Christ.

I pray that EVERYONE gets in before me and that I get to see the whole procession going past me. I only ask Jesus to come and get me from behind the last rock.

Imagine a guy who’s drowning in debt. I’m not talking about a couple missed credit card payments. I mean a mountain of debt he could never crawl out of in ten lifetimes. It’s crushing him. He knows it’s his fault—he’s been reckless, irresponsible, careless. But what makes it…

This is good!!!

Peter denies Jesus 3x and then Jesus looks straight at him right after….Peter ugly cries. I think Jesus looks at him not to say “I told you so.” But to say “I knew you’d do this…and I still chose you.”

We are not called to rage for its own sake, but to become the kind of prophets who make the rage useful, who carry the holy grief of a wounded world to the altar, and name it before the living God. @1517

The Law demands your wholehearted, unflinching, flawless devotion to God (good luck). The Gospel declares God’s wholehearted, unflinching, flawless devotion to you (good news).

People often tell me I’m too bleak—that I don’t give grace-as-transformation enough credit. They insist, “You’re ignoring the Spirit’s power to improve us, to make us better.” Every time someone says, “Now that I’m a Christian and have the Holy Spirit, I can keep the Ten…
