1. One word from one God says it all to our tired hearts.
  2. Caesar boasted: “I came. I saw. I conquered.” Christ can rightly say: “I came. I saved. I ascended.”
  3. 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.
  4. We live for the most part, on the strength of our moral fiber, under the law, by our zeal for God and all that which tickles our proud fancy.
  5. The Lord’s Prayer is liturgy and catechism, action and instruction, praxis and theology.
  6. Prayer is not just about asking for things. It's about receiving what has already been given to us in Christ.
  7. God cares about our real life where we actually are. He is present in the everyday.
  8. When we forget that we live by promise, that's when the danger tends to creep in. Because failing to embrace promise means we usually fall back into notions of luck, or even worse--into works.
  9. Jesus is the only answer to the nagging question. He is the only way to make sense of this unsettling story in Exodus 4.
  10. Sing of Jesus’ Easter victory for you, and watch Satan flee with his worries and cares!
  11. The Lord knew how it felt to be a rejected stone.
