David finally found the truth that it was not his seed of kingship but the promise made to Abraham that made him holy. From that, David refused to be moved and wrote this Psalm by the necessity of the Spirit as the assurance of faith. The law never made a man holy, not even one as robust as David; yet faith did this great thing without lifting a finger.

Today, the longing for cultural Christianity on both the left and the right hearkens back to an older version of Christendom that was a mixed blessing for the church in the western world. The cultural mediation of Christian views on created order has certainly benefitted the civilization we’ve inherited. But the gospel itself isn’t something that can be reduced to cultural mediation either. Instead, the gospel as a message stands apart from all human accomplishments and achievements, no matter how beneficial they might be.

He is our gold. He is our pure garment. He is our healing. He is our sanity. He is our wholeness.

The well-known Sunday School story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego is far from a simple account of three brave and faithful Israelites. It’s a mini-story with a mega-story tucked inside it—a story that links it (backward) to Exodus and (forward) to the Gospels.

God created humanity in his image and then inhabited that image. Not just for 33 years, but for eternity thereafter.

Christ presents to us such liberty, so that we as Christians according to our faith may tolerate no other master, but only hold that we are baptized and called unto Christ, and through him have become justified and sanctified.

Lack of effort isn’t the sworn enemy of fruit-bearing. Self-sufficiency is.
07/13/20
By basing our assurance on the promises of God, which we not only hope for in the future but live in now, the Christian can finally rest in the comfort that they are both saved and not responsible for their own salvation.

There is often no way forward for us without the prophetic lament, because such laments force out our honesty and resentment at the God who does not treat us as we expect to be treated.

Our sadness is never inconvenient or unimportant to Jesus.

The disciplines of history and archaeology have assisted in demonstrating the integrity and accuracy of the Bible.

Love is to be the interpreter of law. Where there is no love, these things are meaningless, and law begins to do harm.

If our churches are split along generational lines it's because we've turned our backs to the cross. We've shut our ears to the Good News about Jesus Christ, who judges the world with equity.

He would not go back on his word, for his word is the word of the Father and the Spirit, and they all say “come.”
