Never mess with the Hulk. The new Marvel comics event seems pretty intense.

The past week’s sermon on anger was a really good reminder of how I have so much to work left in me. God willing, this will all change as He draws me in and changes me. Sometimes when I’m behind the wheel I get really annoyed at indecisive drivers. I realize that there is no point in bursting out in anger at them because they don’t know me and I don’t know them. I should just imagine CJ Mahaney behind the wheel. He’d probably laugh it off and hope they were having a good day.

Psalm 133:1 - “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!”

Let us not fail to see that there is much wonder in the unity of believers. I recognize that I detach the humanity of people from their ideas and get very passionate about what I do not agree with. The world is not binary as most computer scientists may like to believe (actually no computer scientist really wants to program in binary). I am resolved never to debate or criticize another’s view out of a spirit of pride.

Grace was getting clearer as our sin and God’s wrath closed in. I’m not sure when or where, but somewhere along the way in the recent journey of youth ministry and the American church in general, the reality of the coming wrath of God slipped out of our thinking about the cross of Christ. About that same time we lost our sense of desperate need, opting instead for a rosier view of ourselves than God’s holiness will allow and embracing the cross as a really wonderful gesture, not life and breath and peace and everything. But in this night both the mercy and judgment of God hung in equal measure, the one making much of the other as we lifted the Cup and considered it’s mandate for and from our lives.

Louie Giglio on the weight of all our sin, what we deserved, and fortunately, the radical mercy of God - about “the Cup from which we must all drink, one which Jesus Himself could not let pass Him by though it contained the most horrific and crushing agony anyone could ever imagine.”
