Gratitude is the joy that arises in response to God’s good will toward us in all his gifts.

Sanctification is a community project.

Husbands are not Christ. But they are called to be like him. And the specific point of likeness is the husband's readiness to suffer for his wife's good without threatening or abusing her. This includes suffering to protect her from any outside forces that would harm her, as well as suffering disappointments of abuses even from her. This kind of love is possible because Christ died for both husband and wife. Their sins are forgiven. Neither needs to make the other suffer for sins. Christ has borne that suffering. Now as two sinful and forgiven people we can return good for evil.

God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.

Every experience in life is designed to magnify the cross of Christ.

"How are you doing?" - - - better than I deserve.

The right creative act makes its own laws, and always will do.
