1. If the season of Lent is a journey, Holy Week is the destination.
  2. Today I would like to share The Legend of the Dogwood, inspired by the words of Stoney Cooper.
  3. If we just say to God, “We don’t get it, please explain,” he will. He will send us a preacher to point us to his words for more clarification.
  4. The needs of the people remain the same, but now the people are you and me. We still sin, and that sin causes so many challenges in our lives.
  5. It’s scary to share my struggle and to show that I have cracks because once I’ve shown my cards, I open myself up for judgment.
  6. We can’t predict the harvest. We can only sow.
  7. The hardest thing you and I will ever be called to do is to believe that it is done already, that it really and truly is finished.
  8. When I finished this book, I loved the Bible, and the Bible’s author, even more. And I can’t imagine a better endorsement than that.
  9. There is a revival, no less real and even more definitive, taking place in every church, every weekend, where God’s people gather around his gifts.
  10. To believe God is love and thus loves you is a miracle wrought by the Holy Spirit.
  11. His love for you is so deep that in his mercy, while you were yet a sinner, God sent his only begotten Son to die for you.
  12. “So loved,” then isn’t about how much but instead simply how.
