We take hold of Christ as his words take hold us.

Jesus didn’t do it all. Jesus didn’t meet every need. He left people waiting in line to be healed. He left one town to preach to another. He hid away to pray. He got tired. He never interacted with the vast majority of people on the planet. He spent thirty years in training and only three years in ministry. He did not try to do it all. And yet, he did everything God asked him to do.

For Jesus, Scripture is powerful, decisive, and authoritative because it is nothing less than the voice of God.

Perhaps God brought you into this mess so that he can bring you out of it for his glory.

You will never see the preciousness of a Savior, if you do not see the reality of your sin.

Legalism is a problem in the church, but so is anti-nomianism. Granted, I don't hear anyone saying, 'Let's continue in sin that grace may abound'. That's the worse form of antinomianism. But strictly speaking, antinomianism simply means no-law, and some Christians have very little place for the law in their pursuit of holiness.

If you find yourself mistreated, misunderstood, and mocked as a Christian, take heart, for so they did to the Christ.
