Trust Jesus in the face of death. God allows trials because we're forced to go to him for help. He works on his terms, not ours; he uses people and experiences we wouldn't have chosen to allow us to grow.

When we sin, we should feel shame; shame is holy!

Often we need to be silent, be still, and wait for God to speak and act.

Once you taste the glory of God, you can't get enough. He is love!

God made Adam a gardener, to plant and grow fruit. And the fruit becomes the womb of the seed that will grow more plants. Jesus, the new Adam, was necessary to be the perfect sacrifice. He endured the punishment of the cross so we didn't have to. The debt is paid!

Sin is man taking the place of God. Salvation is God taking the place of man!

God forms in us simply by grace. He chose us not because we're holy, but because he is holy!

Once the grace of God is in you, all the power of hell can't overcome it.

We don't change into his glory because we try, but because we see him for all he is and all he's done for us.

We live in a culture that has forgotten how to blush, how to feel shame for our sins. Take yourself to his feet and pour all of yourself onto him in worship. He's the King who makes his throne on a cross!
