1. Help comes for those who cannot help themselves. When we bottom-out and come to the end of ourselves, that is where hope springs.
  2. Preachers and church workers must also hear the gospel preached to them.
  3. Through water, blood, and word, the Spirit never stops pointing us to Christ, and even more, giving us Christ.
  4. The reason that God’s commandments are not burdensome is that Jesus has fulfilled them.
  5. Both now and forever, the bruised and crucified Lord nailed to a cross is our assurance of deliverance.
  6. 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.
  7. Righteousness before God is possessed only by grace and that through the currency of faith.
  8. The love mentioned in 1 John 4:15-21 fourteen times (!) is a love that needs no apology but is determined at all times to sacrifice for the other.
  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.
