In a day and time when relationships are strained by fear and suspicion, holy love drives us out into the widening gaps.

Love not only covered our sins but transformed our hearts.

Friction is the only way a friendship can work. To be devoted in Jesus-like love for your friends means that you are willing to lean into each other.

You should be thoroughly sensible of this: the heaven of heavens is love. There is nothing higher in religion.

As the baby kicks in Mary’s womb, empires tremble and giants lose their step.

We are bound to Jesus in discipleship, tied to him in intimacy, walking with him in rest and true fulfillment.

Isaiah is the prophet of desperation and delight: He warned of the coming captivity, and looked beyond to the arrival of deliverance.

Holiness is full surrender to the unrivaled reign of Jesus over every part of who we are.

In the creation story, we learn that God delighted in what he had made. He was teaching us to delight in him in return.

We move forward in the Christian walk by recognizing our desperate need for dependence on God.

We must see God’s vision that enables us to discern the alternative story and align our life with that script.
