Unlike human marriage, which is marred by sin, Jesus never seeks to divorce us due to irreconcilable differences.
11/09/20
When we genuinely measure ourselves, we will find ourselves dreadfully lacking.
11/05/20
Good works do not make a Christian, do not secure the grace of God and blot out our sins, they do not merit heaven.
11/04/20
As we face our own struggles and successes, let us pray that we may be humble. Let us be grateful for whatever God has provided and not become arrogant in what we have or what we've lost.
11/03/20
This new life is marked not by fear of death but hope in eternal life.

We subject ourselves to the governing authorities for the sake of our neighbor, that they might be protected from our sinful nature that seeks our advantage over theirs (and vice versa)
11/01/20
Cast your vote with an air of bold and defiant levity. Don’t take yourself, or this election, so seriously. No string of unfortunate events can stop Christ's beating heart of mercy. No politician can un-Easter our Lord.

10/28/20
Because of Jesus, we are restored to a solid relationship with our Creator God. And, because he built it right, it will stand forever, whatever comes our way!
10/27/20
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.

It’s easy to slip into thinking about forgiveness solely in terms of our authority over it.
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.
