So gathering after gathering is intended to so enthrall you with the grandeur of God's grace that you can't think of anything better than being a tool of that grace in the lives of others.

The birth of Jesus is a sure sign that God will act where we cannot act, and he will act with life-giving grace. Celebrate that Jesus came to give life, because it's the one gift we could never, ever give ourselves.

Sin has driven us out of the garden, but grace drives us right into the Father's arms.

So look backward and look forward. God's grace enables you to do both, celebrating forgiveness for the past and embracing power for a new and better future. Only God's grace gifts you with peace with your past and hope for your future.

There is hope for your relationships; there are resources for the struggle, because you have inherited big, expansive, powerful, rescuing, and transforming grace. This grace is so huge and powerful that there is no way to wrap human words around it.

If you find more joy in serving God than yourself, you know that grace has entered your door, because only grace has the power to rescue you from you.

Your life is not good because it is easy or predictable, but because the I Am has invaded your existence by his grace.

Grace strikes us when we are in great pain and restlessness…. Sometimes at that moment a wave of light breaks into our darkness, and it is as though a voice were saying: "You are accepted."

The grace factor will be revealed in three areas of your life: grace for the race; grace for the place; and grace for the case.

Grace for the place is grace for your position.

Grace for the case is grace for your condition.
