The miracles of Jesus are signs of the right order of things. Jesus was not so much turning things upside down as turning them rightside up or, at least, giving his followers glimpses of the rightside up. The miracles of healing, deliverance, provision, and resurrection all reveal that God, through Jesus, is making all things new, that he is restoring what once was unbroken.

Prayer does two things. It shows the complete sufficiency of God and the complete helplessness of man. It shows that God is not lacking, that He is in need of no thing, that He is infinitely and gloriously wealthy, that He can give to, He can bless and He can answer without the need of help from anyone or anything else. And it also shows that we are in desperate need of that kind of sufficiency.

The depth, width, ferocity, and immensity of God is seen most spectacularly in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Have you read your Bible or has the Bible read you?

If you're a beast in the pulpit but a coward in your neighborhood, something has gone wrong.

In 10,000 years you will not regret anything you didn’t have or do in this life.

Trying to figure out God is like trying to catch a fish in the Pacific Ocean with an inch of dental floss.
