1. For with God we look not for the order of nature, but rest our faith in the power of him who works.
  2. A theologian is a passive receiver of God’s active revelation about Jesus Christ, his words, works, and ways.
  3. 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.
  4. We don’t start with behavior and work toward Christ. We start with Christ and everything works out from there.
  5. Through water, blood, and word, the Spirit never stops pointing us to Christ, and even more, giving us Christ.
  6. 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.
  7. 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. Both now and forever, the bruised and crucified Lord nailed to a cross is our assurance of deliverance.
  9. Logos theology is a theology of presence without division. It is a way of unification, of which the incarnation is the greatest visible example.
  10. Sometimes in hanging on to our useless guilt, we are idolaters. We believe our sin or conscience is more powerful than our God.
  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.
