Here's good news: God is even more committed to your change, your growth, and your transformation than you are.

It is our confidence in the sovereign grace of God that gives us any hope of success in missions.

If the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, then growing in our knowledge of God is always practical.

Jesus was not just a prophet but the fulfillment of all prophecy.

Our God is righteous enough to judge and kind enough to forgive.

My fear is that of all the choices people face today, the one they rarely consider is, "How can I serve most effectively and fruitfully in the local church?" I wonder if the abundance of opportunities to explore today is doing less to help make well-rounded disciples of Christ and more to help Christians avoid long term responsibility and have less long-term impact.

Our first love is Jesus. Holiness is not ultimately about living up to a moral standard. It's about living in Christ and living out of our real, vital union with him.
