When there’s something in the Word of God that I don’t like, the problem is not with the Word of God, it’s with me.

The Advent season is that time when we seek to, in a manner of speaking, mute our memory of what has already happened, that we might brighten our joy that it happened. We leave the already of His advent to taste the bitter of the not yet. We, in short, go back, that we might look forward to His coming.

To focus our mind on the task at hand-with fierce concentration-m akes for a productive use of time.

We have to find in Christ, not a mask that conceals our face, but an entire wardrobe of clothing, which is His righteousness.

Once we are reconciled to God, the estrangement is over, the hostilities have ended, and the peace is sealed for eternity.

God's grace is not infinite. God is infinite, and God is gracious.

Satan could make an "A" in my Systematic Theology course. He knows the information and knows that the information is true.
