A job is a vocation only if someone else calls you to do it for them rather than for yourself. And so our work can be a calling only if it is reimagined as a mission of service to something beyond merely our own interests. Thinking of work mainly as a means of self-fulfillment and self-realization slowly crushes a person.

Jesus is the author of faith, the provider of faith, and the object of faith.

Pride is the carbon-monoxide of Sin. It silently and slowly kills you without you even knowing.

Jesus Christ was treated as we deserved so that when we believe in Jesus, God treats us as Jesus deserves.

The purpose of Sabbath is not simply to rejuvenate yourself in order to do more production, nor is it the pursuit of pleasure. The purpose of Sabbath is to enjoy your God, life in general, what you have accomplished in the world through his help, and the freedom you have in the gospel-the freedom from slavery to any material object or human expectation. The Sabbath is a sign of the hope that we have in the world to come.
