In our distracted day and age and with our rapidly diminishing attention spans, the idea of willing one thing seems like a near impossibility.

So often, when we think pure, we think prudish, stuffy, or pristine. At worst, we think holier-than-thou and inaccessible; at best, we think naive. 

While I hate to admit it, I tend to expend more energy trying to protect myself from God’s good, sanctifying aims than working alongside him—or at least just letting him do his job.

Our God often allows for beautiful parallels between the physical and spiritual realms. Bone ossification is no exception.

Is a strong marriage enough to provide the security both we and our children need to bear up under the weight of suffering and to survive the strong temptations of this world?

I deal with my anxiety by over-preparing, and I went into serious Y2K mode this morning.

We hear often about the preaching ministry of Jesus or the healing ministry of Jesus or the discipling ministry of Jesus—and well we should. However, each of these has its beginning in the seeing ministry of Jesus. 

When we approach the topic of God’s will, we have to acknowledge the mystery of God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility. When we face mysteries like these, we often find ourselves leaning heavily toward one side or the other. However, we do so at the peril of truth.
