God both removes our shame and places us in a community without shame.
The gospel is that we don’t measure up, but Jesus has measured up for us. It’s based on our need, not our doing.
Evangelism is hard, but it’s worth it because of what the gospel is.
Jesus died because our sinfulness and God’s holiness could otherwise never go together.
Sunday mornings are good, but not enough. We also need to serve each other and to love each other.
