The apostle Paul claimed the Law is written on the 'fleshy tables' of the human heart (2 Cor. 3:3 KJV). What he meant are these 'shoulds' and 'shouldn'ts' are both instinctual and inescapable, part of our DNA. They are a psychological reality. We may justify our actions away, but deep down, we know when we've done something wrong.

The deepest cry of the human heart is to be loved without condition, no matter what. The gospel of grace announces that you are.

Information is seldom enough to heal a wounded heart.

The desperate addict is closer to the heart of grace than the devout moralist.

There are a still lot of people in today's church who can easily identify the idolatry outside the church and are pretty proud of the fact that they are not like them. And yet, we are far too slow to recognize the idolatry inside the church and more painfully, the idolatry inside our hearts.

The heart of sanctification is the life which feeds on justification.
