“We cannot afford to drink our culture’s Kool-Aid and believe we are superior to an omnipotent and omnipresent King. Scripture reminds us, time and time again, the humbling truth of God’s access to even the deepest depths of our darkened souls—after all, it is that very access that enables Him to reach deep into our self-dug pits and resuscitate our hardened hearts. We are only fooling ourselves if we truly believe the Creator of the universe does not have holy night vision in the most shadowed places of our stories.”

“We are certain others have it so much more together than we do. We are convinced others are more favored and blessed, are doing more important work for the kingdom, and surely are more valuable even in God’s eyes. We are relentless dismantlers of our own self-worth. We evaluate, we rank, we categorize and subcategorize. We covet, we grow envious, we get competitive, and we harbor resentment. We want, we want, and we want. All because we’ve missed what we already have.”

“People. They’re people, Lincoln.” “Are they?” He shuffled through papers in a folder with the words Top Secret stamped across the front. “The latest CDC reports show that the infected are undergoing all sorts of physiological changes. Not only to their brains, which, let’s face it, make Charles Manson look like Mahatma Gandhi, but also to their bodies. Here,” he said, pulling out a page. “This one states that they’re experiencing calcification of their bones as well as significant increase in their muscle mass. Christ, they’re all but turning superhuman.” He slapped the page. “Who knows where this ends.”
