1. The more I got to know Dr. Rosenbladt, the more I saw that he wasn’t a man divided.
  2. He was rooted in his own tradition but gracious with others when they wanted to learn about his faith or their own.
  3. Anyone could tell he enjoyed teaching theology and loved his students.
  4. In a world—and even a church—full of distractions, thank God for Rod Rosenbladt. He pointed us to Jesus and Jesus alone.
  5. In normal human relationships, when reconciliation is necessary, we place the burden on the person who did wrong, who disrupted the relationship.
  6. A “good death” and “good life” are not accomplished through personal striving but are grasped by faith in the promises of God.
  7. Your justification isn’t a matter of “Jesus plus” anything.
  8. It would serve us well to embrace the beauty of our diversity within the unity of the body of Christ.
  9. Even at Lewis’ graveside, Havard was a faithful friend, and a friend full of faith in Christ, confessing his hope in the resurrection.
  10. Faith sees your neighbor not as a means to an end, not as a way to score points, but as an object of love: Christ's love and yours.
  11. What if Jesus had said on the cross, “Earn it”?
  12. I’ve experienced firsthand the promise that God never leaves a congregation empty-handed.
