– Confidence
Confidence in ourselves vs confidence in God
Confidence in ourselves vs confidence in God
Our challenge: In an age of anxiety, can we maintain our confidence that God is with us?
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. ~ Wendell Berry

– Control
God’s actual control (sovereignty) vs our illusion of control (idolatry)
God’s actual control (sovereignty) vs our illusion of control (idolatry)
An idol is something that we look to for things that only God can give. ~ Tim Keller, Counterfeit Gods
An idolatrous attachment can lead you to break any promise, rationalize any indiscretion, or betray any other allegiance, in order to hold onto it. It may drive you to violate all good and proper boundaries. To practice idolatry is to be a slave. ~ Tim Keller, Counterfeit Gods
At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life. ~ Justice Anthony Kennedy
Our challenge: In an age that tells us to seize control, can we embrace the freedom of God actually being in control?
– Compassion
God of impulsive anger vs a God of compassion
God of impulsive anger vs a God of compassion
Our challenge: can we take seriously both the holiness and compassion of God?
