We’re all familiar with the “outrage” in our culture about the trend in youth sports to award “participation trophies.”

God preaches a concrete word to us in the present tense. We hear the Good News that Jesus is God’s mercy for us.

Marriage is the ideal school in which to learn that we are not the center of the universe. We’re not created to live for ourselves. We find our true humanity only when we live for other people.

Never has the law fallen so hard on me as in motherhood. Never before was I more aware that my best wasn’t good enough.

I can pretend for a little bit, but as soon as the phone is put away and it’s just me and my sin, I am fearful about what my walk says about me. I know what I should do, but I can’t quite seem to do it.

All other wonderful teachings of Holy Scripture from creation to Christ’s coming again are absolutely worthless without being understood in light of Jesus, death, and resurrection for sinners.
