Forgiveness (346)
  1. Pastors are built from the same stuff as everyone else. That’s good, and that’s bad.
  2. All the weight of our sin is lifted by Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the whole world, past, present, and future.
  3. When we say “forgiveness,” we mean, “Jesus.” When we say, “righteousness,” we mean, “Jesus.”
  4. Just as we believe ourselves to be forgiven because God sees us in Christ, so to forgive others is to see them as God sees them in Christ. To forgive, in other words, is to put God’s eyes in our eyes and our eyes in God’s eyes.
  5. Despite the death all around us, the death that is assured us, we know there is a way out.
  6. Blood is the thing. In the Scriptures, sin must be covered or "atoned for" as it's called, by blood.
  7. Even after Jesus made it clear in His actions and commands that God’s grace is for all sinners, the apostles forgot the promises they received from their Savior.
  8. I grew up playing baseball – mostly “street” baseball, with a bunch of friends. It was one of my passions in life.
  9. Psalm 51 teaches two things: mercy and sin. But aren’t we already experts in sin? Why do we need God to teach it to us?
  10. We fail over and over again to tame the sin in our hearts, to guard the doors of our lips and to act like the children of God.
  11. The restoration of everything that is and will be, was always meant to take place in a virgin’s belly, in a manger, at the cross.
  12. Do any of you have one of “those” kids? Every family should have at least one. They humble you.
