1. In Memory of My Friend, James Arne Nestingen
  2. Despite our best efforts to avoid him, King Jesus remains very much unavoidable.
  3. A.I. can’t make the proclamatory move that delivers God’s word in a way that is specifically for me.
  4. When and how did the church start this season of anticipation?
  5. Help comes for those who cannot help themselves. When we bottom-out and come to the end of ourselves, that is where hope springs.
  6. Preachers and church workers must also hear the gospel preached to them.
  7. Through water, blood, and word, the Spirit never stops pointing us to Christ, and even more, giving us Christ.
  8. 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.
  9. Every incendiary move of God’s Spirit is accompanied by a group of penitent people rediscovering the power and preeminence of God’s Word.
  10. Sometimes in hanging on to our useless guilt, we are idolaters. We believe our sin or conscience is more powerful than our God.
