Love of God (221)
  1. Love turns out to be not simply a thing or action, but a characteristic of God himself.
  2. The Word of Yahweh is not a trifling thing that can be visited only when it’s convenient. It’s a book of life, for all of life, that imparts life to those who believe in it and the God of it.
  3. We won’t use the right words, but the Holy Spirit is interceding with and for us, as we pray.
  4. Our experience with good fathers – even when they are not our own – can point us to God the Father.
  5. Wilson reminds his reader over and over again that, in his love, God accepts sinners as they are so that we may be delivered from the self-acceptance, self-worship, and self-justification of our selfish definitions of love.
  6. Christ has taken our failures and defeats and exchanges that yoke for his own.
  7. The goal of language in the mouth of a Christian isn’t to hold power for ourselves but to give it.
  8. This spiritual giant of the Middle Ages is worth considering on this anniversary of his death.
  9. Dr. Paulson and Caleb continue to outline Luther’s response to Erasmus.
  10. Jesus did not need a single act of mercy to get him started on the road to mercy, his essence was by nature merciful.
  11. God’s love is axiomatic; it just is. It’s a truism without a logical explanation.
  12. But Jesus didn’t see it that way. He saw his arrest not as the kingdom’s program being thwarted but as it being “fulfilled.”
