Christian Living

The Timeless Whisper’s Been Here All Along

To a world on edge, defensive, and hurting, Christians have a responsibility to not only listen to God but also to speak Good News in a way that can actually be heard.

Generosity and Selflessness

It is really easy to give out of a surplus. That’s because the surplus is never something we truly need.

God’s Good Created Order

How is the Jesus of powerlessness, mercy, and forgiveness to be reconciled with the Jesus of justice and judgment?

What Does It Mean to Love Your Neighbor?

One of the most disorienting things for many Christians in the West today is finding that they’re on the moral low ground in the eyes of their non-Christian friends and neighbors.

Arriving Home

How do we get so caught up in believing this journey is all about us? The pressure’s off, friend; all the glory belongs to Christ.

Suffer Differently

Hope—the future state of time that our minds long to occupy—must begin with a relationally grounded, material experience with Jesus mediated through the Spirit, the Scriptures, and, often most powerfully, his body.

Suffering

What we see on earth is not God’s will. In the last couple years, the impact of sin has been significantly experienced at a worldwide level.

Judas Isn’t the Enemy

Forgive what you can in the moment. When God makes something right, there is true restoration, healing, forgiveness, and change.

There’s a New Sheriff in Town

The good guy is you, FYI. This is a duel to the death between your inner self and this intruder, this outlaw, who is trying to under-mine the person you want to be. Either you face your issues and come out victorious, or you run away and hide.

Acceptance Is Critical

I was dumbfounded. Could it be true? Could my experience two weeks earlier have prepped my heart and mind for what God had in store?

Life Includes a Great Deal of Suffering

You may never experience long-term, intense depression or anxiety, but there will very likely be a period of your life when you feel something similar, as if you are a ghost haunting your own life.
