That's the new picture of the good life that I want to paint - living the way that God created us to live. That's what the good life is.

As a believer, the Lord is growing me every single day. I'm married and I'm really grateful for my wife. The Lord has been using her to make me more like Jesus. I have a son and I'm really grateful for that. I'm grateful for what the Lord is doing in my life.

The question is not whether or not you will face trials. The question is, how will you respond when you do?

We stand before God's wonder and yet we are disinterested and bored. This should not be.

Here's the grey rule: embrace things that lead you closer to Jesus, and reject things that lead you away from Jesus.

Folks need the Gospel. We need to have our hearts changed. We see people from a skewed point of view. We need to see people the way God sees them.

There is no halfway or lackadaisical way to fight lust. If you're not fighting your sin, you're befriending your sin.
