1. For with God we look not for the order of nature, but rest our faith in the power of him who works.
  2. While the world is full of horizons and endpoints, for Christians, there is always tomorrow, and there are people in that tomorrow waiting for us as we wait for them.
  3. We ache in eager anticipation as we see Christ in action and as we take in the snapshots of his life, death, and resurrection.
  4. We live again, not so that we will now pay our debt, but to proclaim that we live because our debt was paid!
  5. That is the task of preaching in these last weeks of the Church Year, to enable the people given to our care, to praise God from the perspective of the end when our Lord will return in glory bringing us into His Kingdom of glory.
  6. We don’t start with behavior and work toward Christ. We start with Christ and everything works out from there.
  7. Both now and forever, the bruised and crucified Lord nailed to a cross is our assurance of deliverance.
  8. 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.
  9. Righteousness before God is possessed only by grace and that through the currency of faith.
  10. Logos theology is a theology of presence without division. It is a way of unification, of which the incarnation is the greatest visible example.
  11. Sometimes in hanging on to our useless guilt, we are idolaters. We believe our sin or conscience is more powerful than our God.
