Jesus was busy, but never in a hurry. Some may not even know that there is a difference, but a hurried spirit is a saboteur that siphons the compassion right out of our daily lives.

Tragically, Titanic wasn’t unsinkable. However, we do find a true unsinkable boat in Mark 4:35-41.

What are we to do when we feel crippled inside? How do we respond when everything on the inside is telling us it’s just too painful to go on?

Grace is not limited by our spiritual bankruptcy, it is extended in consistency with the fullness of God's character, not ours.

The believer has a point of reference (God’s Word) that should guard us from spatial orientation when we face troubles or hardship.

Divine appointments are not choreographed to indulge our comforts; they are masterminded based on what is necessary for our good, the world’s need, and God’s glory.

The only reasonable response to God's unfailing love for us is to love God in return, and love one another in this world. When we do this, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

Never assume that activity for God is tantamount to knowing God. From the Pharisees we learn that it’s not all that uncommon for folks to hold strict views about God while being in conflict with God at the same time.

Forgiveness is the divine miracle of grace. The cost to God was the Cross of Christ. Never accept a view of the fatherhood of God if it blots out the atonement.

God never throws away the broken pieces of our lives; He redeems all of them.
