Our lives sing one of two sings. This is God's "taunt song" to those who believe they can live a life without him. It is a song describing the life of the faithless and always ends in self-glorifying misery.

If you're going to compare yourself with someone, compare yourself with Jesus. You'll learn very quickly, there is only ONE good guy...and you're part of the legion of doom.

Disillusionment either propels us closer in our walk toward God or drives us away from Him.

The truth is without history, this book and our faith makes little sense. Our very faith is sourced in the history of the gospel—an act within time and space history. As Christians, we have to care about history because if you don’t—then you invariably end up focusing on your own work today INSTEAD of what Jesus did 2,000 years ago on the cross. It matters if Jesus really existed, it matters if he lived a life we can emulate, it matters if Jesus really died, it matters if Jesus really rose from the dead. BUT even understanding cross requires that we understand the events that led up to it. When trying to explain the cross to his two disciples on the Road to Emmaus, Jesus gave them a lesson rooted in history.
