We all need mercy. God is rich is mercy. When we recognize that, salvation comes! This salvation is the same for Jew and Gentile alike. For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, Romans 10:12 "In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God's gracious choice. But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace." Romans 11:5-6

• Daniel discusses the consequences of sin. We often say that God is punishing us when really we are just experiencing the consequence of our sins. Forgiveness is ours.
• Nick about Hebrews 12:8: If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Isn't that punishment?
