For The Church

If you would hesitate to tell a fellow Christian that you are a fan of a certain show – or would hesitate to tell a fellow fan that you are a Christian – you need to rethink your entertainment choices.

Each and every person who names the name of Christ has, by necessity, come to a place when they have seen their sin.

While on vacation, I reflect on my life in every dimension, seek to identify personal weaknesses, and strive to strengthen them. 

Beloved, you have a Wonderful Counselor. Heed his instruction about what is better.

 The Lord provides the strength needed for the obedience he requires.

The idea that the holy God of the universe, the only one who has the absolute right to condemn us and dismiss us, declares his approval over us because of Jesus’ taking our sin and shame is so wonderful, so hope-giving, so steadying.

We think that we are standing up for the truth, but maybe we are just meeting someone’s sin with more sin of our own. 

This week's links include resources on aspiring theologians, grief, teaching kids theology, Instagram and the Christian, and genealogies. 

God loves to see the hearts of his people glowing towards himself.
