  2. Logos theology is a theology of presence without division. It is a way of unification, of which the incarnation is the greatest visible example.
  3. Sometimes in hanging on to our useless guilt, we are idolaters. We believe our sin or conscience is more powerful than our God.
  4. We can appreciate what we have received from God, we can receive it all as free gift, but only when we stop investing in fool's gold.
  5. To say that whoever loves has been born of God is also to say that those who are born of God are recipients of love. They do not have God because they love but because they are loved.
  6. Do you confess Christ as God in the flesh, born, died, and raised to new life for you? Any answer of yes will do
  7. When we cry to the Lord in our trouble, he will send us a preacher with words that deliver us from destruction.
  8. One of the primary reasons we do not have to fear the future is because the future is certain in Christ.
