We were lost. We didn’t know where we were going or which way to turn. We had been driving around in circles for hours with nothing to show for it. And now we weren’t sure how to find our way home - and losing hope by the minute.
11/05/19
A new life in Christ Jesus is our hope. Not only that, Jesus is our access to God.
11/04/19
His kingdom is not one of force and might for our exploitation and his gain, but one of his patience and long-suffering for our benefit.

When a king dies and his throne is up for grabs, we worry about what will happen next. But, heaven's throne is always occupied by the One who was raised from death for us.
11/04/19
If the resurrection were just a repetition of this world, then it would be ridiculous, indeed. But the resurrection is different. It is a world without death.
10/29/19
We would be utterly miserable if we could not find somebody less than ourselves, somebody to look down on, somebody to make us more pleased with ourselves.
10/28/19
True love isn't a thing. We can't find true love in our souls, soul mates, or safe spaces. We can't marry true love, buy it, or create it from scratch.
10/28/19
On All Saints Day, the beatitudes remind us how God in Christ claims people, frail, humble, poor, mourning, and makes them His own.
10/25/19
When it comes to confessing the truth of the Christian faith, Christians are given the words. We don’t have to formulate them ourselves.
10/23/19
It is incumbent upon the faithful preacher, looking to see sinners transformed into the image of Christ, to preach a naked gospel.
10/23/19
Any conception that contends that Jesus only died for some sinners turns the gospel into an uncertain message for everyone.

When we run deep into the darkness, Jesus runs deeper and deeper after us. Where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more.
