1. Psalm 98, with its promise of a sea and mountains singing, takes these imposing natural features and turns them into a praise choir.
  2. Who would ever want all these screamers and haters? It turns out that Christ does.
  3. God is not calling us to “grow up.” He is calling us to dependence.
  4. Our God is a living God and he listens to our cries for help.
  5. Through water, blood, and word, the Spirit never stops pointing us to Christ, and even more, giving us Christ.
  6. Both now and forever, the bruised and crucified Lord nailed to a cross is our assurance of deliverance.
  7. Every day is a Sabbath for Christians. Every day is the day the Lord has made. Every day is a day to find rest in Christ.
  8. Righteousness before God is possessed only by grace and that through the currency of faith.
  9. Sometimes in hanging on to our useless guilt, we are idolaters. We believe our sin or conscience is more powerful than our God.
  10. 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.
