We go from Malachi to Matthew in one page of our scriptures, but that one piece of paper that separates the Old Testament from the New Testament represents 400 years of history - 400 years where there wasn't a prophet, 400 years where God's voice wasn't heard. And that silence was broken with the cry of a baby on Christmas night.

Mere nails, though pounded deep, were not enough to keep Jesus on the cross. But love was... and love prevailed.

Sin doesn't make us bad, sin makes us dead. The gospel doesn't make us better, the gospel makes us alive.

God had a heartbeat for 18-25 years old...the vast majority of whom don't have a clue why they are on this planet.

God always gets the glory when Jesus comes.

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

It is because of our foolishness that we forget who God is.
