Holy Spirit (391)
  1. The goal of Christian living isn't to gather in and store up two, three, four barn-fulls of good works for ourselves.
  2. Every Christian face-plants. It doesn’t matter how long we’ve been saved by grace, we still face-plant.
  3. Likewise, when God says, "Do this and you will live," we go about under the illusion that we have the ability to accomplish what God demands of us.
  4. Beware the lament, dear readers, that is not soothed with the good-goods of Jesus.
  5. I'm always surprised to hear people say, “If I could do it all again, I wouldn’t change a thing.” But we’re all sinners and we all sin every day.
  6. You can talk to me about how Jesus is really forgiving and how you want me around, but what happens when things don’t change in a month?
  7. Apart from bare, naked faith in Jesus' atoning work for us, no sinner is, or ever can be, holy.
  8. When I first began to hear that the Bible’s good news was a whole lot less about me and a whole lot more about Christ, I just didn’t get it.
  9. With the proclamation that grace and peace come through the bloody suffering and death of Jesus, we're awoken to the fact that God's grace covers all our sin and His peace calms our busy heart and mind.
  10. In the twinkling of that eye the perishable will become imperishable, and our bodies will be changed and become more glorious than we ever could have imagined.
  11. Their love story was a long time in coming. He was 82 and she 74. And this was the first, and the last, marriage for both.
  12. But when God's Word of Law and Gospel are tuned up, when they're properly distinguished, then Jesus' words rain down on us like thunderbolts.
