1. Faith is like a horse with blinders because it only beholds God’s promise. It is obsessed with what God has already said.
  2. Moses is no Jesus but he, like us, is saved by Him. The law cannot enter the promised land, and yet the true and greater promised land is occupied by nothing but lawbreakers.
  3. With every bone in our bodies, we declare war on grace. We declare war on the gift.
  4. God has a plan for this world that he put into place from eternity, a plan that is carried out in Jesus Christ and promises unimaginably great blessings for believers.
  5. This week, we are grateful to publish a series of sermons from our beloved late Chaplain, Ron Hodel. This is the second installment of that series.
  6. For Japan’s highly secularized elite, alienated by collapsing opportunity and the materialistic void left behind, Bach’s music was a balm.
  7. Darkness is not your only friend. Jesus loves you, and he will be with you.
  8. Our Judge (the one who can condemn us) has become our Advocate (the one who doesn’t condemn us) because he is also our Substitute (the one who takes our condemnation).
  9. Sometimes it’s important to go far away to learn of holy places back home.
  10. There is perhaps no better observation about the nature of anxiety and depression than its fundamental desire for avoidance.
  11. I finally watched the film “Encanto” with my kids. I had heard many people say the subtext of this movie was deeper than most. So, we snuggled up on the couch and watched it to see what everyone was talking about.
  12. You might not know it, but every Christian hopes for the day when their faith will die. Really. I promise. Faith’s death is our celebration.
