  2. In Jesus, the most totalizing summary of the law becomes the gospel of the one made perfect through obedience.

  4. I trust that because of the gospel, God will continue to mend what I, in my sin, continue to break.

  6. In the Church, the cry is, “He loves,” and it is that message which transforms our worldviews from taking to giving, from radical individualism to trans-demographic inclusivism, from selfishness to selflessness, from “tolerate my rights” to “loving rightly together.”
  7. You are not in debt to sin. You don’t owe it anything. There’s no reason for you to serve it.

  11. The way to salvation does not consist in works invented by men, but that which leads to God is believing and trusting in Him.
  12. As the body positivity movement has gained traction, we must also be aware of some of its pitfalls
