1. Who would ever want all these screamers and haters? It turns out that Christ does.
  2. Rejoice with Mary as she would rejoice with you. Be blessed, like her, with humility from God, so that you may serve joyfully and willingly wherever and in whatever role God has placed you.
  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. If a key part of the Reformation was placing God’s Word back into the hands of the people in a clear, understandable way, then John of Ragusa can be called a “Prometheus” in his own right.
  6. When the Reformers read the Bible (especially when studied in the original languages), they found a God who was gracious and merciful for the sake of Christ.
  7. Even though All Saints is a day for remembering the dead, it is not a day of mourning.
  8. Both now and forever, the bruised and crucified Lord nailed to a cross is our assurance of deliverance.
  9. 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.
  10. Righteousness before God is possessed only by grace and that through the currency of faith.
