The world is polarizing over religion. It is getting both more religious and less religious at the same time.
Are you living to justify yourself, or are you living because you are justified?
The story of Jesus changes our lives because it is true.
Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. He suffered so that when you suffer, you’ll become more like him. The gospel does not promise you better life circumstances; it promises you a better life.
I am so bad that He had to die. I am so loved that He was glad to die.
The world says you are loved because of what you do. Jesus says you can now do all things because you are loved.
