1. Jesus does not take the easy way out, but takes the hard path so that you don't need to.
  2. The irony of guilt and innocence abounds in this passage: Jesus is innocent but condemned; we are guilty but set free.
  3. Everyone is stained by sin. Who can stand before God? Who can dwell in His holy presence? Only the one who walks blamelessly.
  4. We are talking about the abundance of forgiveness today, with special guests, Daniel Emery Price, and Erick Sorensen from the "30 Minutes in the New Testament" podcast.
  5. Gretchen and Katie talk about love and forgiveness, particularly when it comes to marriage. They talk about what forgiveness does and doesn't do, and how forgivness enables us to be our honest selves with our spouse.
  6. God relentlessly pursues those who stray so that He may restore them to where they belong.
  7. "Is all that we see or seem, but a dream within a dream?" Poe is wrong. Though we have lulled ourselves asleep, the reality is far brighter and beautiful than we imagine. Christ is risen and so shall we. The dreamer who dreams is He.
  8. Is it cooler to think there is a grand secret conspiracy based on human trafficking or that human trafficking happens far more often and far more normally than we are comfortable with?

Oh yeah, we are really all idiots incapable of running our own lives let alone the world!
