1. It’s not our eloquence or persuasive rhetoric that changes hearts, but the Word of God that pierces through the hardened shells of unbelief and breathes life into the dead bones of sinners.
  2. This is an excerpt from chapter 9 of “What Can Really Know?: The Strengths and Limits of Human Understanding” by David Andersen (1517 Publishing, 2023).
  3. No matter how far away they wander, God always hears the prayers of his children.
  4. Prayer is not just about asking for things. It's about receiving what has already been given to us in Christ.
  5. Tim wanted everyone to know to the deepest part of their being that they were justified by Christ alone.
  6. The drama of Scripture is about God renaming us by bringing us into his image-bearing family once again. And it would take “a name above all names” to accomplish it.
  7. This is the prelude of Easter. Is a dead Jesus still resting in the tomb? No!
  8. Dear hearers of the word of God, you are finished. You cannot be the same now. All that is ended, over.
  9. The hardest thing you and I will ever be called to do is to believe that it is done already, that it really and truly is finished.
  10. I hate to break it to you, but "are" is not an action verb. "Are" is a being verb.
  11. I can guarantee you that when Paul was overtaken by the Spirit and inspired to write these words, he did not have in mind your local school's boys' basketball tournament.
  12. Rightly distinguishing between law and gospel, as Paul helps us see in 2 Corinthians 3, is, quite literally, a matter of life and death.
