Discipleship

Many Christians struggle with depression. Here's how to think about it.

The problem is most leaders don’t get a chance to hurt. And if you hurt, you tend to hurt in isolation.

Salvation comes by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. There is no other way. We aren’t saved because we deserve it, because God owes us something, or because someone in our family took us to church. We are saved through faith.

The godliest, Spirit-filled leaders I know have the Word of God dripping from their lips. They live in the Word—and it’s noticeable. That’s what would happen in our lives if the Word truly were sweet to us.

Your word of encouragement today could literally mean life to someone who has been given only words that bring death, negativity, and depression.

Not only do we have to judge, but we are called to judge, and in today’s society, we need to be more vigilant about judgment than ever.

As someone who holds to a traditional view of sexual ethics and runs in circles with people with similar theological positions, I’ve noticed an unsettling uptick in vitriol and harmful language against the LGBTQ+ community this time of year, along with an ample about of fear mongering and political punditry.

Your faith doesn’t always demand for you to remember all the good God has done in your life in every moment, so that you will minimize the pain and sorrow you’re currently enduring.
