Our babysitter, Ashley, had the kids in the yard the other day and while playing she found a snail shell. She handed it to Walt and let him play with it. No big deal, right? Well, Norah wanted one. She spoke up and said,

“Ashwee, I want a snayel sheyell.” Continue Reading…

In myself, I am the chief of sinners. In Christ, I am the righteousness of God. Knowing this about myself is what makes gospel intoxication not just helpful but transformative.

Lord, please restore to us the comfort of merit and demerit. Show us that there is at least something we can do. Tell us that at the end of the day there will at least be one redeeming card of our very own. Lord, if it is not too much to ask, send us to bed with a few shreds of self-respect upon which we can congratulate ourselves. But whatever you do, do not preach grace. Give us something to do, anything; but spare us the indignity of this indiscriminate acceptance. - Robert Capon

“God loves you with gratuitous grace, the only kind there is. God’s grace is unconditioned and unconditional.”

Justin Holcomb, On the Grace of God (Re:Lit: A Book You’ll Actually Read)

“Jesus declares, ‘Your sin is mine, my innocence is yours.’”

Dress us up in your righteousness Bring us in with a ring and a kiss When you walk into the room you know we can’t resist Every bottle of perfume always ends up on the floor in a mess

You make us sparkle and you make us shine Like the stars who sing on your chorus line Through space and time we’ll harmonize Where deep meets deep like the ocean meets the sky

The sun and the moon They come out of their grave just for you The dead man and the cynical too They’re coming out of their grave And it’s just for you

Cause the love of God is stronger The love of God is stronger The love of God is stronger Than the power of death

Dress us up in the blood of a son Who opened up his veins so that we would overcome Hell and the grave in the power of his love After three dark days he showed us how it’s done And he still does

You make us sparkle and you make us shine Like the stars who sing on your chorus line Through space and time we’ll harmonize Where deep meets deep like the ocean meets the sky Yeah

The sun and the moon They come out of their grave just for you The dead man and the cynical too They’re coming out of their grave And it’s just for you Cause the love of God is stronger The love of God is stronger The love of God is stronger Than the power of death

His love is stronger, his love is stronger, his love is stronger, his love is stronger His love is stronger, his love is stronger, his love is stronger, his love is stronger
