Death of the Modern Superhero Quotes

“If there is a single event in all the universe that can occur outside of God’s sovereign control, then we cannot trust Him. God is never surprised, caught off guard, or frustrated by change.”4”
― Chris Lautsbaugh, Death of the Modern Superhero:How Grace Breaks our Rules

“Our greatest human accomplishments stink when compared to the work of Christ. Righteousness does not come from striving or living a privileged life but through faith. It is a gift of God. We can never add to the work of Christ by our own efforts.”
― Chris Lautsbaugh, Death of the Modern Superhero:How Grace Breaks our Rules

“The Biblical writers did not learn grace from a textbook or in a classroom. They learned it from the school of hardship and difficulty. They experienced the sufficiency of grace in the moment. Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den. David hid in a cave fearing for his life. Job lost everything, and his friends advised to curse God and die. Paul himself was shipwrecked, stoned, and suffered under the ever present thorn in his flesh. These are the same writers who teach us of God’s goodness. Their bad days or difficult experiences did not change the character of God; it changed them. They never attempt to answer all the questions. They ask different ones.”
