Life is chaotic. It's messy. That's what Jesus was stepping into.

You never shrink in stature by lifting someone else up.

Sin has a way of shrinking God down and puffing ourselves up.

You don't have to know everything about the mountain in front of you to take the next step

We get into captivity because of our foolishness and we are more foolish that we want to admit.

Whether it's an attorney or a bond trader or a journalist, or a musician or pastor, you want to do your best. You don't want to seek acclaim. You don't want to seek awards. You want to seek to do your best at what God's given you.
