1 John

Who are we supposed to listen to? 

My prayers are often too small. Maybe yours are too. I need the second petition of the Lord’s Prayer to cosmically expand my prayer focus.

Prayer is the heart’s sincere and grateful reflex to God’s lavish grace. Three questions can help us learn from Jesus the basics of biblical prayer.

How can the command that seems the least outwardly harmful be the most revealing?

Do you sometimes still feel guilty even after you’ve repented of your sin? Do you struggle to rest in the forgiveness God offers you through Jesus Christ?

Believers agree with the seventh commandment. But how do we practice it?

The sixth commandment is a perfect storm for hypocrisy.

Truly good works before God can’t be done apart from faith.

God wants us to prosper in his world as we respect his boundaries.

It’s easy to blame the devil when we do wrong.

What does it look like practically for us to let Jesus’s love cast out our fear?

Have you ever struggled to feel certain of your salvation? You’ve believed the gospel of salvation in Christ, that he died for the forgiveness of your sins and rose again for your justification (Rom 4:25). Perhaps there was a time of great joy when you first believed. But, for some reason or another, doubt creeps back in now and then.
