“As miracles go, [the universe spontaneously creating itself] would be unparalleled. Everything from nothing? Christians believe in the virgin birth of Jesus but this would mean the virgin birth of the cosmos. In fact, it’s the virgin birth of the cosmos but without a virgin, without anything.” - Glen Scrivener’s 321: The Story of God, the World, and You (10Publishing, 2014) [animated presentation].p(55)
“Our first instinct is self-preservation, self-protection, and self-promotion. Of course, as we grow we realize that others don’t respond well to our naked savagery, so we moderate these instincts. We learn to ‘play nice.’ But notice why we play nice: it serves our interests better.” - Glen Scrivener’s 321: The Story of God, the World, and You (10Publishing, 2014) [animated presentation].p(73)
“Jesus entered our hell so we could have his heaven. . . . Jesus joins us in our failures so we can join him in his family.” - Glen Scrivener’s 321: The Story of God, the World, and You (10Publishing, 2014) [animated presentation].p(88,90)
“If he is our Champion, then his victory is our victory. We know we look like ‘a bunch of losers’ and we know we’ve contributed nothing to the victory. Nonetheless we sing like we’ve won because, in Jesus, we have.” - Glen Scrivener’s 321: The Story of God, the World, and You (10Publishing, 2014) [animated presentation].p(102)
