1. As the writer to the Hebrews affirms, what makes the Christian gospel so much better is that we are no longer dealing with “types and shadows."
  2. Who would ever want all these screamers and haters? It turns out that Christ does.
  3. For with God we look not for the order of nature, but rest our faith in the power of him who works.
  4. We don’t start with behavior and work toward Christ. We start with Christ and everything works out from there.
  5. Both now and forever, the bruised and crucified Lord nailed to a cross is our assurance of deliverance.
  6. 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.
  7. Righteousness before God is possessed only by grace and that through the currency of faith.
  8. Logos theology is a theology of presence without division. It is a way of unification, of which the incarnation is the greatest visible example.
  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.
  11. 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.
