We do not smirk at the misery or the merrymaking of immoral culture. We weep. Being pilgrims does not mean being cynical. The salt of the earth does not mock rotting meat. Where it can, it saves and seasons. And where it can’t, it weeps.

People don't enjoy salt. They enjoy what is salted. We are the salt of the earth. We do not exist for ourselves.

Husbands and wives, recognize that in marriage you have become one flesh. If you live for your private pleasure at the expense of your spouse, you are living against yourself and destroying your joy.

John's baptism was an assault on the very assumptions that give rise to much infant baptism.

All heroes are shadows of Christ
