When your identity is tied up in the judgment of others—you're in deep trouble. Because, however well-curated and photo-shopped your life may be, sooner or later someone is going to look at you, they'll swipe, and they'll move on.

God uses the fifth commandment to protect us from selfishness, prevent us from only thinking about our needs, and to drive us to Christ and our neighbors.
10/26/20
Jesus is better than all the politicians. He fulfills all his campaign promises. In fact, he’s willing to die to complete His work of redemption.
10/22/20
Jesus will strengthen and encourage us because he is true life, and life has defeated death.
10/21/20
We now stand holy and blameless before our Heavenly Father as his own dear children, and we are set free to serve our neighbor in love.
10/21/20
Christians are in a unique position to show the world something truly other-worldly. We are free from living in our world as if it contained all there is.

10/19/20
Christ crucified is at the heart of both our freedom from sin and death and our freedom to serve and love our neighbor.
10/16/20
Our freedom as Christians is not a form of independence. Our freedom in Christ comes from our dependence on him.

You who would be a law unto yourself, Christ is the gospel unto you, proclaiming you forgiven.

Jesus longs to prove to us that death has lost its separating power over the Christian. He longs that we experience the faithfulness of God in the unifying power of the gospel here on earth as well as in heaven.
1517 is a Christian non-profit (501(c)3) multi-media organization. Our mission is to declare and defend the Good News that we are forgiven and free on account of the death and resurrection of Jesus alone.
