Good exposition doesn’t merely provide a running commentary on the verses at hand. It also has a sense of what else is going on before and after the text, and how it all relates to overall progression of God’s big story.

God does not love us because we are serviceable; He loves us simply because He loves us. This is the only kind of love we can ever be secure in, of course, since it is the only kind of love we cannot possibly lose. This is grace.

He said, "It is finished."
He was just getting started.

“Our tendency toward ecclesiastical consumerism has seriously weakened the church. For most of us, church is just a meeting we attend or an organization we belong to. We do not see it as a calling that shapes our entire life.”

Beware of false teachers who use their own authenticity, pain, and brokenness to attract believers who are also suffering and broken—and then using their “brokenness” to lead the sheep to turn away from God’s Word and embrace sin.

“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a greenhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the sun shines on it.”

Why do we keep acting shocked by leaders choosing power over Christlike values? Where have we been these last few years? There’s nothing on earth more intoxicating than power. Nothing hard to understand here. The shocking part will be if greater & greater numbers of us resist it.
