1. Rejoice with Mary as she would rejoice with you. Be blessed, like her, with humility from God, so that you may serve joyfully and willingly wherever and in whatever role God has placed you.
  2. For with God we look not for the order of nature, but rest our faith in the power of him who works.
  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. The reason that God’s commandments are not burdensome is that Jesus has fulfilled them.
  6. Both now and forever, the bruised and crucified Lord nailed to a cross is our assurance of deliverance.
  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.
