1. Paul knew that, without the resurrection, the Christian life was a “Smells Like Teen Spirit” video.
  2. The relationship with God through Christ and renewal in his image in Christ cannot be taken away or compromised through suffering.
  3. Are you on the receiving end of freedom? Or are you trying to make yourself free?
  4. This is the sound of freedom. The Eternal One died so that we who are dying might live eternally with him.
  5. Sometimes, we get prayer dementia. We can’t remember what we were going to pray for, we can’t put the words together, and, frustrated, there is nothing we can do but sigh and groan.
  6. The more I got to know Dr. Rosenbladt, the more I saw that he wasn’t a man divided.
  7. He was rooted in his own tradition but gracious with others when they wanted to learn about his faith or their own.
  8. Anyone could tell he enjoyed teaching theology and loved his students.
  9. In a world—and even a church—full of distractions, thank God for Rod Rosenbladt. He pointed us to Jesus and Jesus alone.
  10. In the Word, you find peace. It proclaims peace first between you and God because of Jesus. That empowers you to deal peacefully with others and brings you peace of mind.
  11. It would serve us well to embrace the beauty of our diversity within the unity of the body of Christ.
