God's Word (6)
  1. God wants his word of promise to be the only thing we bank on, the only thing we have confidence in.
  2. History is the painful realization that we aren’t the ones who can save the world but, rather, we’re the ones who get saved.
  3. The undercurrent of Scripture is the sheer fact that Jehovah God is a God of his word.
  4. The firestorm of the Reformation which turned Europe upside-down was not Luther’s doing. It was the Word, and the Spirit working through it.
  5. God picks the unexpected and the unlikely, and goes to the unforeseen places, stacking the odds against himself, in order that age after age might stand in open-mouthed wonder at his sovereignty in and over all things.
  6. If you and I were to examine our own lives, we’d likely have to admit that we are frequent disciples of Jeroboam’s “bootleg religion.”
