1. "God says, if you're judging, if you're condemning, if you're setting yourself up as the standard, you're climbing into my seat. I'm the one who judges. I'm the one who created. I sustain. I made things. I made them according to my own plan. I gave them life. I can take life if I want. Can you do that? You've had difficulty. You've had challenges. Can you humble those who have come up against you? You can't do it. No matter how humble you are, you can't do it. You can't do it. You try. And yet you climb into the seat of God where he judges from." [17:13]

God, if I was rich, do you know how much good I would do in the world? The reason why I don't do so much good in the world is you haven't given me enough money to do it. On and on and on.

1. "The Psalms of David and Korah are that these Psalms give you all four quadrants of life. How you praise God when everything is great. How you complain to God when something goes wrong. How you lament when you're the one who is wrong. And how do you turn around when it's time to do so? That's what those four are, praise, complaint, lament, and repent. And the Psalms have all that through it. If you read a Psalm on a particular day, and it's a Psalm of praise called a song of ascent, that's because they were going up to Jerusalem to praise God at one of the great festivals. It's a happiness. It's joy. It's wonderful. It's family. It's glory. It's praise." [25:42]

"The wisdom literature is about well let's talk about real life i mean what what actually happens to us and so you find the book of job is really the ultimate human issue it really is the ultimate issue everyone deals with it's not the single local issues that we face in our culture or another place it's not during times of war or peace it's not that's not it i mean the reality of what what josh shared about alia and her family incredible unspeakable tragedy just beyond the ability to even imagine from a distance." [10:12]
3. "The nature of the book of Job, and we can get lost in the details. I understand that. We can just get sucked into good verses and troubled verses and never get out of it.

4. "The key themes were written by the most powerful men in the history of Israel. David and Solomon and Job. Nobody knows who wrote Job, but it's a marvelous book, 42 chapters of tremendous wisdom and insight. And then David and Solomon wrote the majority or superintended the majority of wisdom literature. These key themes were written through powerful men. Number one, power and privilege are not God's ways to accomplish life. Power and privilege is not what God is about." [27:24]
5. "The key question, which is a universal human issue, why do good people have evil things happen to them? Now, there really is a flip question, which most people never get around to asking. Why do evil people have good things happen to them? That doesn't seem to bother folks quite as much as this one. Why do good people experience evil? The other side is a question, but this one's the universal, which is why Job is about that." [22:12]
