That Mystery Handshake

“Too many Christians think that regeneration, or good intentions, or having a nice personality will somehow make your memory perfect, or will prevent you from getting hit by a truck. Suppose you get hit by that truck, and your heirs and your partner’s heirs are all trying to figure out what that handshake fifteen years ago meant. So write it down. This does not make you suspicious and unloving. God loves us perfectly, and He still wrote it down.”

Gashmu Saith It, p. 72

What Cream Does

“The Bible teaches us that cream rises. This is not because cream has anything to boast of, but rather because of how God created and governs His world . . . Cream rises because of the blessing of God. The point is to seek the blessing of being cream, and then secondarily, after that, seeking blessing that comes to cream. You never want to strive to be skim milk, and yet somehow rise like cream.”

Gashmu Saith It, p. 66

Dogged Commitment

“If that growing alternative culture is to be Christian, there must be a dogged commitment to the centrality of true Christian education. Education is one of the central instruments given to us by God for the establishment and perpetuation of a culture. And if we want the culture to be believing, then the education that feeds into it must be believing.”
