  5. What greater legacy could you claim than that of Mark? Listen to the Word. Learn from Jesus.
  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.

  11. A Christian is a man who desires to enter heaven not through his own goodness and works, but through the righteousness and works of Christ.
  12. To believe God is love and thus loves you is a miracle wrought by the Holy Spirit.
