Gospel People
“‘The evangelicals’ are being defined—and even defining themselves—by agendas other than the gospel.”
Is God Anti-Gay?
“God is against who all of us are by nature… But he loves us enough to carry our burden, take our place, clean us up, make us whole, and unite us forever to himself.”
When Strivings Cease
“We can call it spiritual discipline, hard work, commitment, or pursuit of holiness, but if it’s motivated by self-fulfillment or self-improvement, it’s not a worship of God; it’s a worship of self.”
When Words Matter Most
“You, and your words, are significant and necessary for the building up of his church… We build up the body of Christ by reminding one another who Christ is and what he’s done for us.”
Suffering Wisely and Well
“The world is both far worse and far better than we ever suspected… But God’s assurance of victory over that [chaos and evil] is far calmer and happier than we ever suspected.”
Before You Lose Your Faith
“Yes, God is a mystery. But he can also be known. He is known in Jesus. He is known in the pages of Scripture. And when we seek him with all of our heart, we will find him.”
The Gathering Storm
“Christians must display faith in God’s design, faith in God’s Word, and faith in the power of the gospel.”
A Gentle Answer
“While true faith is filled with holy fire, it is a fire that is meant for refining and healing, as opposed to dividing and destroying.”
Born Again This Way
“Our culture sings that we’re ‘born this way,’ as if that settles the matter. But I’m born again.”
Fault Lines
“I believe that the current concept of social justice is incompatible with biblical Christianity… Our problem is a lack of clarity and charity in our debate over the place, priority, practice, and definition of justice.”
Eve in Exile

What God Has to Say about Our Bodies
“Because we live in a created world, our bodies are a gift. But because we live in a fallen world, they might not be the gift we would have wanted.”
Finding the Right Hills to Die on
“Pursuing the unity of the church does not mean that we should stop caring about theology. But it does mean that our love of theology should never exceed our love of real people.”
Where I End
“We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.”
Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy
“Lament is the honest cry of a hurting heart wrestling with the paradox of pain and the promise of God’s goodness.”
