Through the often abominable and lamentable and occasional commendable season, there is one who remains unmoved by it all.

God’s love is axiomatic; it just is. It’s a truism without a logical explanation.

But Jesus didn’t see it that way. He saw his arrest not as the kingdom’s program being thwarted but as it being “fulfilled.”
07/09/21
What Luther is doing in his Catechism is teaching how the gospel is an action of the whole Trinity, not just one of the persons.

This opening section of Ephesians is a virtual treasure trove of gospel promises, praising God for who He is and the abundant blessings He pours out upon His saints.

06/19/21
The story of Juneteenth is one of living between proclamation and emancipation, and the story of the Christian faith is one of living in that same tension.

The world doesn’t need dads who are more stressed than they already are. It needs fathers who care for their families, not in heroic ways, but in common, everyday ways.
