jesus done
Jesus has done everything for you.
jesus sight genesis
Since Genesis 3 we have been addicted to setting our sights on something, someone, smaller than Jesus.
christian jesus heart
Christianity is not about good people getting better. If anything, it is good news for bad people coping with their failure to be good. The heart of the Christian faith is Good News, not good advice, good technique, or good behavior. Too many people have walked away from the church, not because they’re walking away from Jesus, but because the church has walked away from Jesus.
christian spiritual desire
You can be sure that your deepest desires reveal important truths about your spiritual condition.
friendly enjoy theological
God has hardwired me to thoroughly enjoy and be sharpened by good and friendly theological discussion about the gospel.
grace lists way
Grace is upside-down, to-do-list wrecking, scandalous and way-too free. It's one-way love.
jesus years parables
From the time God saved me at 21 years old, I've always been fascinated by the parables of Jesus.
christian years political
Even political insiders recognize that years of political effort on behalf of Evangelical Christians have generated little cultural gain.
jesus important done
Don't get me wrong - what we do is important. But it is infinitely less important than what Jesus has done for us.
christ devices dies
Death is the operative device that sets us free in Christ - when we die, we truly live.
struggle intellectual christ
I never had an intellectual struggle with the Bible, with the gospel, with the claims of Christ.
beautiful powerful opposites
The world tells us in a thousand different ways that the bigger we become, the freer we will be. The richer, the more beautiful, and the more powerful we grow, the more security, liberty, and happiness we will experience. And yet, the gospel tells us just the opposite, that the smaller we become, the freer we will be.
wanted ifs
I was afraid that if I surrendered my life over to God, God would tell me not to do those things that I desperately wanted to do.
pain grief exercise
Grief, of course, is not something that operates according to a specific time frame, and it seems cold to suggest otherwise. Yet when we do not grasp that God is present in pain, we eventually insist on victory or, worse, blame the sufferer for not "getting over it" fast enough. This is more than a failure to extend compassion; it's an exercise in cruelty.
