We want to control things and we desire to partner with God in all manner of things, but of course, the LORD is in control. He takes care of things and He does not need our help in these matters.

Vilification of the other is married to the justification of the self.

With Christ as the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, the future is secure already. It’s solid right now, even when the cords seem to be fraying.

God is in control, but God is also in relationship with His children and asks us to pray, to lament, and to ask Him to change His mind as we participate as the Bride with our Bridegroom.

In Jesus, the most totalizing summary of the law becomes the gospel of the one made perfect through obedience.

Through Martin Luther, God would unleash a far greater storm than the one which overwhelmed Luther on July 2, 1505.

[Because] of the relationship of presence the LORD has with His people, His holiness ‘gets on them,’ and, as a result, this is what their life now looks like because the holy LORD is their God.

The undercurrent of Scripture is the sheer fact that Jehovah God is a God of his word.
