There he sat, awaiting his executioner. John looked around at what God and His Messiah were not doing, and even the greatest among those born of woman had his doubts. “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?”

Our actions, moral choices, appearance, definitions of family and friendship are all defined by how we see ourselves in relation to the question, "Am I good enough?"
12/02/19
The problem is not that we are unrepentant. The problem is our contrition is too small.
11/25/19
We might not appreciate that God chooses to save us by his word alone, but our discomfort doesn’t make the promise any less effective.
11/19/19
God comes to fix what is broken by being broken himself. He abolishes death by dying. He subsumes sin by being made sin itself.

11/18/19

If the resurrection were just a repetition of this world, then it would be ridiculous, indeed. But the resurrection is different. It is a world without death.

The devil knows our name and labels us by our sin. The devil breathes out death as he names us for what we are, sinners.
