Land of the lost
You can be perishing in the promised land. It is not the geography that makes it good, but rather, the giver makes it good. I need Jesus more than a change of scenery.

Work
The word of God is at work. As Hebrews says, it is living and active. These words are not just black ink on white paper, or pixels on a screen. These are the actively working words of God.

Gates
We don't need to try to make the gate wider. We shouldn't try to make the path less hard. If that is our strategy, we're trying to frame Jesus as a liar. Accept his word as truth, and spend your effort…

Serve and be served.
Jesus received ministry from others, and he was the perfect, sinless God-man. Pride refuses the service of others, thinking that we need only be the servants, and that receiving service is a sign of weakness.…

Why Jesus Came
To save his people from their sins. Not to pronounce final judgement. Not to declare condemnation. Not to be a good moral example. But to save sinners like me, who were hopeless in their sin.

Masculinity and shame
Protect people from shame if you want to live out the gospel. God covered Adam and Eve's shame in the garden. I'd suspect Joe understood that it is the glory of God to conceal a matter.

Ecclesiastes 5:18
Ecclesiastes 5:18 (MSG)
After looking at the way things are on this earth, here's what I've decided is the best way to live: Take care of yourself, have a good time, and make the most of whatever job you have for as long as God gives you life. And that's about it. That's the human lot. Yes, we should make the most of what God gives, both the bounty and the capacity to enjoy it, accepting what's given and delighting in the work. It's God's gift! God deals out joy in the present, the now. It's useless to brood over how long we might live.Created about 1 year ago
