Your behavior doesn't show you who you are, it shows you who you believe yourself to be.

Telling people they don't have a sin nature doesn't promote sin anymore than telling a slave they are free promotes slavery.

Repentance is a result of God's kindness, not a prerequisite to it.

The worst tragedy of sin isn't that it produced bad behavior, but that it produced the idea that bad behavior is strong enough to deflect love.

Forgiveness of sins is great, but I'd rather have the ability to quit doing the things I keep needing forgiveness for.

People always want the bad guy to pay for his sin, until they're him.

I can never endorse sin any more than when I tell people it's their nature to do it.
