Sometimes the very presence of God is barred by our presuppositions and our intense and constant desire for triumph.

The old Indian proverb holds true. Once you've cut off a person's nose, there's no point in giving him a rose to smell.

The cross stands as a mystery because it is foreign to everything we exalt- self over principle, power over meekness, the quick fix over the long haul, cover-up over confession, escapism over confrontation, conform over sacrifice, feeling over commitment, legality over justice, the body over the spirit, anger over forgiveness, man over God.
