There is perhaps no more biblical call to the people of God than to wait for the Lord.

What if holiness is not immunity from the world, but the contagion in the world we want everyone to catch?

As my soul magnifies the Lord, my wounded spirit is delivered from every bondage, healed, and set free to rejoice. 

The response to abounding love is not reciprocation but deep receiving leading to deepening relationship.

We want God on our terms, or we don’t want him at all. That’s why so often it takes one of life’s unforeseen train wrecks to open our eyes to the perspective of divine grace.

To be sure, repentance means weeding our souls, but even more so, it means sowing the seeds of incredible things.

By the power of his Word and Spirit, Jesus wants to reach deeper than mere behavior and into our dispositions, desires, and affections. 

Repentance means the realignment of one’s life with what matters most. It’s a breaking away from, a preparing for, and a running toward.

Even in the midst of the noisiest surroundings, the Holy Spirit can bring us into a deep inner quiet.

Jesus stands at the door of Advent knocking, not to ruin Christmas parties but to bring the deeper celebrations we were made for.

While January through December aren’t going anywhere, we need our calendars to be infused with the story of Jesus and the timing of God.
