Practical Theology (192)
Filter by:
  1. He holds you tight and loves you even as you weep and fight in his arms. His Son suffers alongside you as your brother in the flesh.
  2. We need pastors who carry that same concealed weapon in their mouths, who are outfitted with the same word the angels have: the word steeped in divine blood, shed for you. That is all we need, for the word does it all.
  3. You became, for a time, ritually unclean. Not sinful. Not immoral. To be unclean meant you bore in your own body the effects of a creation in bondage to decay.
  4. In happiness, we dare never forget that it is Christ, and Christ alone, who has restored our joy.
  5. We want people to notice us, know us, like us, or even hate us. Just please don’t ignore us. Social media is the ego’s dream come true.
  6. We want to know how God rules this world, how he is present in all things, how he exerts his control over the course of world events. We want to know why some get cancer and some don’t, why terrible things happen to the best of people, why volcanoes erupt and hurricanes strike and fires consume.
  7. We shrink away from God’s godness and almightiness, and so shrink down our prayers. Perhaps it is a lack of faith. We don’t trust God to give what He himself has promised to give.
  8. One thing is for certain: my day was heaven compared to his. My minor headaches nothing compared to whatever he was going through.
  9. There are many funeral songs I wouldn’t be caught dead singing. Why? Because my funeral will not be about me.
  10. We treat the Scriptures as if they’re our literary property to toy with as we please.
  11. It’s a miracle anyone believes the Gospel. It goes against everything else we believe in.
  12. Today, if you look closely at my left eye, you’ll see one tiny speck of powder embedded in the whiteness.
