1. Love is pointing to Jesus who said, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).
  2. Christ our Word, as with a two-edged sword, burst the devil's belly.
  3. 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."
  4. Who would ever want all these screamers and haters? It turns out that Christ does.
  5. For with God we look not for the order of nature, but rest our faith in the power of him who works.
  6. A theologian is a passive receiver of God’s active revelation about Jesus Christ, his words, works, and ways.
  7. Who is God really? He is offensive, anarchic by the world’s standards, and far too gracious to people who don’t deserve his time or attention.
  8. We don’t start with behavior and work toward Christ. We start with Christ and everything works out from there.
  9. Even though All Saints is a day for remembering the dead, it is not a day of mourning.
  10. 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.
  11. Every incendiary move of God’s Spirit is accompanied by a group of penitent people rediscovering the power and preeminence of God’s Word.
  12. Logos theology is a theology of presence without division. It is a way of unification, of which the incarnation is the greatest visible example.
