Redemption (101)
  1. From the very beginning, God made everything out of nothing. For mankind’s redemption, God’s Son did everything while we did nothing
  2. Babies need to be baptized for the same reason that all Christians need to be absolved: All of us are born into and contribute to this sin-wrecked show of a life.
  3. I bet you have seen this verse pop up in Bible study before.
  4. “Christ is pretty ok doing all the redeeming that needs doing Himself—and He has redeemed you, and redeemed me.
  5. You are made new by the eternal satisfaction for sin in Christ, by the precious treasure at God’s right hand.
  6. Whether we realize it or not, all these online, self-editing actions are nothing more than our admission that we believe that we are so deeply flawed that no one will love us just as we are.
  7. Chad Bird joined the Thinking Fellows at the Here We Still Stand conference in San Diego to talk about his new book.
  8. This book tells of my long and brutal journey. From married to divorced. From a seminary professor and pastor to a disgraced, bitter truck driver in the oil fields of Texas. From a man at war with God to a child redeemed by grace.
  9. We all desperately need God’s only Son to take our place, to cleanse us by His blood, to wipe away our evil deeds.
  10. Just when we think we had it all under control, Christ breaks into the midst of our futile efforts to save ourselves.
  11. The only recourse we have is to die before we die. To give up on a fake-life. To acknowledge that this stupid, selfish game we’re playing with our immortality projects has zero success.
  12. The story of Christ crucified has a happy ending. Jesus has conquered the grave. He beat the death rap.
