If God wants our sanctification so badly, why doesn't He just skim off our old selves and slip on the new in an instant? Why make us endure the wait?
When Obedience Comes First
Sometimes action has to precede emotion. Sometimes we have to trust the power of obedience to shape us, instead of trying to get ourselves in shape to obey.
When Good Things End
Trusting God’s purposes is hard enough when bad things invade our lives. But what about when good things leave? When instead of facing an enemy, we face simply...emptiness?
Not Like Us
He might be above and beyond us in just about every way. But He also draws close to us in all His holy otherness.
Coming Unburied
What do you do with the stuff that can't and won't stay buried, yet is still undeniably not what you wanted in your life?
Finding God When Things Look Bleak
We may not always be sure what to make of what God sends us. But we can always trust and know the One who sends it.
Building a Faithful Future
How can we foster genuine, enduring faith in the young people within our spheres of influence?
Sharing Faith
God is our ultimate Source of faith. But often He provides it through other people.
Redeemed in Full
Have you ever questioned whether you're redeemable? Have you nourished hope for an abundant, meaningful life, only to see it decimated by your own sin or failure? Have you looked at the remains and felt sure that, even if something new were to sprout, nothing could ever bloom?
Back to the Present
Our walk with God requires a similar presence of mind. In order to stick with Him through a world of temptations and uncertainty, we need to keep our focus on Him and where He is guiding us.
