Righteousness (132)
  1. Wisdom and strength require bootstrap-pulling and the placing of noses to grindstones.
  2. This story is not meant for six-year-olds, but it is meant for us, though we should hardly handle it.
  3. This is the fourth installment in our series, From Eden to Easter: Life and Death in the Garden. Each day throughout Holy Week, we will take a special look at the gardens and wildernesses of Scripture, and in particular, these scenes' connections to Christ's redemption won for us on the cross.

  5. No matter how stringent one's "regulations" — "Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch" (Col. 2:21) — the sinful nature that resides in everyone's heart is untamable by self-effort alone.
  6. God’s people get the warm feast of victory, while God’s meal is prepared cold.
  7. Jesus satisfies, fills, and saves because he is the Son of God, who, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns forever.
  8. You cannot sever the saint from the sinner. Christians remain both simultaneously.
  9. The wrong god means love remains frail, fickle, or a fiction. The right God means love is the most reliable thing in all the world.
  10. It's a new year, and you are still the same you: a sinner who is simultaneously perfect in every way because Christ declares it to be so.
  11. The world rushes forward, lighting up screens and decking out storefronts in a mad sprint toward the next thing, but Advent pulls us back.
  12. We love hearing about Jesus, but we also love hearing about how much effort we need to exert to truly pull off this whole “Christian life” thing.
