1. A theologian is a passive receiver of God’s active revelation about Jesus Christ, his words, works, and ways.
  2. 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.
  3. We don’t start with behavior and work toward Christ. We start with Christ and everything works out from there.
  4. 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.
  5. Every incendiary move of God’s Spirit is accompanied by a group of penitent people rediscovering the power and preeminence of God’s Word.
  6. Both now and forever, the bruised and crucified Lord nailed to a cross is our assurance of deliverance.
  7. 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.
  8. Righteousness before God is possessed only by grace and that through the currency of faith.
  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. We can appreciate what we have received from God, we can receive it all as free gift, but only when we stop investing in fool's gold.
