Hook: Does Christianity work?

I. THE MEEK
“The God revealed in the Scripture deconstructs our intuitive predilections and startles us with one whose infinitude of perfections is matched by his infinitude of gentleness.” – Dane Ortlund

II. THE WILL-FULL
“When men let forth passion, they let in Satan. He does not possess himself whom passion possesses.” – Thomas Watson

III. THE VICTOR
"Nice guys finish first!” – James Montgomery Boice

Takeaway: "We will hone our passions to a skilled gentleness." - Eugene Peterson
