God wrote a book on suffering, and its name is Jesus.
All heroes are shadows of Christ
Yes, terrible things happen, but sometimes those terrible things - they save you.
People love gospel music. It's calming. It's soothing. It gets right to the point of whatever you're dealing with.
Salvation by the cross. [Lat., In cruce salus.]
Jesus perfected his life and became our Christ. Priceless blood of a god was shed, and he became our Savior; his perfected life was given, and he became our Redeemer; his atonement for us made possible our return to our Heavenly Father, and yet how thoughtless, how unappreciative are most beneficiaries! Ingratitude is a sin of the ages.
If the Lord's bearing our sin for us is not the gospel, I have no gospel to preach.
I think in the end, God's justice is redemptive, it's restorative, it's about giving life, not taking life.
Wrestling saved my life.

God can be found only in suffering and the cross.
Love is inconvenient. Love is untidy. Love is relentless, ruthless and rapacious. Done well, it's hilarious, playful and redemptive.
It's not just what Christian fiction lacks I appreciate - it's what it offers. The variety is vast: contemporary, historical, suspense, mysteries, adventure, young adult, romance, fantasy, science fiction.
A deeply true, wholly aching account of the dangerous way we live now--LOVE JUNKIE is great fun to read, and finally fully redemptive. Rachel Resnick brings a light, delightful touch to a hard subject, and creates a great, relatable, readable memoir.
