You Can Fold Up Spiritually, Morally, Or Intellectually And Still Be Safe. Because At The Very Worst, All You Can Be Is Dead —and For Him Who Is The Resurrection And The Life, That Just Makes You His Cup Of Tea.

One Real Thing Is Closer To God Than All The Diagrams In The World

He Comes To Us In The Brokenness Of Our Health, In The Shipwreck Of Our Family Lives, In The Loss Of All Possible Peace Of Mind, Even In The Very Thick Of Our Sins. He Saves Us In Our Disasters, Not From Them. He Emphatically Does Not Promise To Meet Only The Odd Winner Of The Self-improvement Lottery. He Meets Us All In Our Endless And Inescapable Losing.

Heaven Is Populated Entirely By Forgiven Sinners

We Are Not Saved By What Jesus Taught, And We Are Certainly Not Saved By What We Understand Jesus To Have Taught. We Are Saved By Jesus Himself.
