“What are we supposed to do?” is a related but different question from, “Who are we intended to become?”

Our lives, with all our pain, conflicts, tragedies, brokenness, loves and losses, perplexities and persecutions, are held together by the broken body of Jesus.

When the church wakes up to the second half of the gospel, the world will wake up to the first half of the gospel.

We can no longer consider Jesus to be merely an eternal life insurance policy. He must become the source and substance of a transformed life. 

Many of us have believed the terms of the gospel as mere beliefs and accepted Jesus as our Savior as though salvation merely required a mental assent.

The Law was given to show us our desperate need of God and our hopelessness to obey it apart from him.

Today’s text is nothing short of a burning bush—on fire and consuming but not consumed.

Jesus wants to fill up every space, open every locked door, and embrace every tender bit of brokenness in us.

We want to be established in the gospel of Jesus Christ; the gospel who is Jesus Christ.

The declaration that God will crush Satan under your feet is not a war cry, it’s a victory lap.

False teaching, while often cloaked in plausible shifts in interpretive methodology, is usually driven by an attempt to accommodate the expansion of human appetites and novel ideologies.

It’s one of the little ways of the love of Jesus—making much of other people, celebrating them by speaking their name.
