In Ephesians 5, Paul shows us that even on earth Jesus did not use his power to oppress us but sacrificed everything to bring us into union with him. And this takes us beyond the philosophical to the personal and the practical. If God had the gospel of Jesus's salvation in mind when he established marriage, then marriage only 'works' to the degree that approximates the pattern of God's self-giving love in Christ.

Christianity is not just for the strong; it's for everyone.

God so loved us and hates suffering that he was willing to come down and get involved in it.

Because we put ourselves in God’s place, He put Himself in our place.

To discover the real you, look at what you spend time thinking about when no one is looking.

The primary means-of-reviva l that everyone agrees upon is extraordinary prayer.

The gospel frees us from the relentless pressure of having to prove ourselves, for we are already proven and secure.
