Holy Spirit (401)
  1. If there was a proclamation of grace, it was an afterthought, given in the sense of “just in case anyone needs this.”
  2. A while back, I drove past my neighbor's house and right there in the street with the rest of the garbage were several golden trophies nearly half my height and still looking quite shiny and new.
  3. Here’s what lurks beneath this seemingly righteous behavior: they wanted to make a name for themselves, these tower-builders.
  4. Just how should we think about our good works in the Christian life of faith as we live that life before others... and before God?
  5. Good people like fist-pounding on the pulpit about the bad things that bad people do in this bad world of ours. It makes them feel better about themselves.
  6. I stumbled down labyrinthine paths, crawled in and out of cavernous pits, got lost a million times, and somehow ended up a little farther down the road to healing. Yet in all those crooked lines I see the hand of God writing straight.
  7. The kind of peace Jesus points to can't be achieved with words.
  8. Asking whether one's beliefs are the right ones is terrifying.
  9. On Sunday mornings, when I confess my sins, I say that “I am heartily sorry for them and sincerely repent of them.” But those adverbs are like two accusing fingers pointed at my less-than-heartily-sorry, less-than-sincerely-repentant heart.
  10. Chad and Daniel discuss Sabbath and Sanctification.
  11. A couple of weeks ago I ordered pizza for dinner. I didn’t pray, “Lord, give me pizza.” I called the store. The pizza did not drop down from heaven at my doorstep like manna from heaven.
