1. You are the friend in low places. It’s only from this place that you are free to look outside yourself for the remedy to the issues that plague you and humanity.
  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. Even though All Saints is a day for remembering the dead, it is not a day of mourning.
  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. Sometimes in hanging on to our useless guilt, we are idolaters. We believe our sin or conscience is more powerful than our God.
  10. 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.
