  4. Even though All Saints is a day for remembering the dead, it is not a day of mourning.
  5. The good news is that with our God there is always more: more than we deserve, dare, ask, or expect, more than we can see, hear, feel, or think.
  6. Every incendiary move of God’s Spirit is accompanied by a group of penitent people rediscovering the power and preeminence of God’s Word.

  8. We need to hear the gospel because it is good news that is not from you, or about you, or because of you.
  9. Stoicism’s opening premise fails to understand that, from its conception, the heart is a thorny bramble.
  10. Christ is not an idea. He isn’t a concept. He isn’t a religious notion or sentiment. He isn’t a product. He is the Savior, flesh and blood.
