Reconciliation (37)
  1. God is coloring over your sin and making you fragrant; he is making you righteous in his sight. The old is gone, forever covered over by this new work.
  2. In the quiet of your own uptown, where your own sins bear down on you and create a troubled conscience before the world, before others, and before God, your Lord reaches across the chasm of brokenness to take your hand.
  3. Nuance, listening, patience, dialogue. These things seem missing as we analyze our problems in America! We get to speak with a former police officer and current pastor, Tim Barkett, to hear his take from the perspective of those who serve. Great interview.
  4. God doesn't help those who help themselves. He saves those who can't do anything for themselves.
  5. Our brokenness cuts deeper than just the times when we recognize it needs to be fixed.
  6. We were lost. We didn’t know where we were going or which way to turn. We had been driving around in circles for hours with nothing to show for it. And now we weren’t sure how to find our way home - and losing hope by the minute.
  7. A new life in Christ Jesus is our hope. Not only that, Jesus is our access to God.
  8. Stories like Onoda’s offer an interesting parallel to our life in the Gospel.
  9. Here, we read the mystery and majesty of the incarnation of the Son of God wrapped up into a single package
  10. Original sin produces violent fruit.
  11. But there is something far more serious and important: being reconciled to our Father in Heaven.
