Christianity isn't all that complicated ... it's Jesus.

God doesn't just give us grace; He gives us Jesus, the Lord of grace.

Programs, systems and methods sit well in the ivory towers of monasteries or in the wooden arms of icons. Head knowledge comes from the pages of a theology text. But the invitation to know God - truly know Him - is always an invitation to suffer. Not to suffer alone, but to suffer with Him.

There's a big difference between feeling thankful and giving thanks. One response involves emotions, the other, your will. Trusting God has nothing to do with trustful feelings.

Every time we go to sleep, it's a rehearsal of the day when our eyes will ultimately close and we wake up on the side of eternity.

God's purpose in increasing our trials is to sensitize us to people we never would have been able to relate to otherwise.

The Bible is replete with commands to persevere, especially in the face of injustice.
