The Weight of 10,000 Sins – “I cannot bear the weight of anything, not my sin or yours. I cannot satisfy the demand of a Holy God or even a demanding god.

God’s Litmus Test of Grace – “When it comes to true character, the kindness, patience, and honor we show to children and the elderly tends to tell the more accurate story. And we could add to our character-test list widows and orphans (James 1:27), as well as the ‘least of these’ type of people Jesus listed in Matthew 25:31-46.”
