There are no strings attached to God's love for the world.

All that God creates is intended for and, in fact, is good.

We may view our sin as something shameful, something broken, but I’m not sure we often think of it as foolishness.

To be saved, the Hebrews must look up at the bronze serpent – the symbol for their sin.

In referring to his body as the temple, Jesus takes worship out onto the streets of Jerusalem, to the shores of Galilee, and to the Judean countryside.

Love demands patience, kindness, humility, hopefulness, and persistence. This is the foolishness of the cross.

Rather than restricting or binding, the Law is intended to bring life, revival, and joy.

These commands paint a picture of a community in which God’s name will be honored, one in which there will be work and rest in turn, and one in which life and faithfulness will be valued.

Taking the easy way out and offering up platitudes does not lead to growth and change.

God strengthens and enlivens our faith, which becomes evident in the way we live, love, and imitate Christ.
