Redemption (99)
  1. I take out the broom, spray bottle, and trash can. For the hundredth time this week, I find myself sweeping up the mess of a Christmas to come.
  2. The redeemed are dressed in white robes.
  3. You matter so much to God that he would rather die than lose you. You matter so much to Jesus that no suffering was too much, no deprivation too burdensome, no punishment too severe for him to endure to have you as his own.
  4. Have you ever really thought about how crazy your salvation is? You may have never thought of it in those terms, but truly, your redemption and rescue from eternal damnation is a jarring truth, one that should spawn tears of joy and shouts of praise.
  5. In our time Christ has not left us bereft of unbroken signs of His promised return.
  6. All our little laws reveal that we are, by nature, trying to justify ourselves before others, and before God, based on what we do and who we are.
  7. If you know me in the least, then you know of my fondness for the 2010 film Inception.
  8. Stephen Fry, the English actor, author and game show host once disparaged the “grammar Nazis” who felt it necessary to enforce all the rules of language but who had forgotten, or just didn’t care, about the joy of language.
  9. The first person who attempted to stop people from talking about Jesus was not a tyrant, a secular government, or a bully religious mob.
  10. She’s clad only in a white, wet, silk blouse, as if just caught in a downpour. Her back is slightly turned toward the camera, the curves of hip and breast beckoning the onlooker.
  11. It may seem easy to believe in the God who changes water into wine, but it is not. For when man is at his happiest, he thinks the least of the true source of his joy.
  12. The mother of this prophet is visited by the Mother of God. In the coming together of these two pregnant women, we see the coming together of the old and the new.
