Like all good citizens, the elderly and people with disabilities want to eradicate waste and fraud from government, but helping people with special needs meet their basic needs doesn’t fit this description.

When I look at Jesus' warm and intimate friendships, my heart fills with praise that Jesus was. . . a man. A man of flesh-and-blood reality. His heart felt the sting of sympathy. His eyes glowed with tenderness. His arms embraced. His lips smiled. His hands touched. Jesus was male! Jesus invites us to relate to him as the Son of Man. And because he is fully man, we can relate to Jesus with affection and love.

God permits what He hates in order to accomplish something that He loves.

In the Christian faith, God really puts suffering front and center. He doesn't get squeamish about it.

My longings are best met when, in prayer, I simply let my heart beat in time with the Lord's.

Thankfully, God brought wise Christian friends alongside to help me discover life-transforming precepts in his Word.

No other religion, no other, promises new bodies, hearts, and minds. Only in the gospel of Christ do hurting people find such incredible hope.
