Sanctification consists of the daily realization that in Christ we have died, and in Christ we have been raised.

To be Biblically balanced is to let our theology and preaching be proportioned by the Bible's radically disproportionate focus on God's saving love for sinners seen and accomplished in the crucified and risen Christ.

Suffering reveals to us the two things that ultimately matter: that we are weak but He is strong.
