“There is eternal relief, rest and refuge in Jesus. Not because of works done in righteousness, but according to his own merey (Tit. 3:5). There is nothing in your past that makes him love you less. Your present is not a daily striving - frantically ticking jobs off a list. And your future is not made up of goals and successes you need to achieve for his approval and delight. Every spinning plate can fall. Every ball can hit the floor. You add nothing to your salvation. Rest in Christ alone.”

“There is also a trilogy of books out. I started reading right after Christmas Divergent. I went to read Insurgent after, and now I’m on the third one. I don’t know, it’s Detergent or whatever. But it’s written by a 26-year-old girl. It’s brilliant. But I’m about halfway through now on book number three. Wait until you get to book number three. Hello, Google genome project. Technology is advancing at a rapid pace, and yet, morality and ethics are afterthoughts. We’re excited about discovery and advancement, you know? We’re in fact so excited that we don’t even take the time to discuss or debate the moral dilemmas and implications of new technology. Sure, we’re still in control of technology now, but does there come a time when we’re not? Who will be the one that says turn it off? When do things go wrong? I don’t see anyone at Google or in the government or anyone at the forefront of technology boom that is contemplating the ethics and morality issues. Now that is a truly scary thought that doesn’t come in a movie.”
