Life

Before we try to answer this question, we need to understand how Jesus defines a “good neighbor.”

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

There is a bright tomorrow coming when Christ returns. How should we think about the trials that are sure to come?

So, as Christians, how do you face death? How can you be sure that you’ll die in a way that glorifies the Lord?

When we fail to see the hope set before us, we need outside help.

Sometimes we make the mistake of pitting holiness against happiness—as if to find one you must lose the other.

The Christian life doesn’t entail the absence of fear. Rather, fear drives us to the cross.

No matter how bad and sad our story becomes, we’re still reluctant to hand our pen over to a better author. Why? Because we still want to be the writers of our own story.

God wants us to be intentional about the way we use our time.

I rarely dealt with or named my emotions—at least not the “negative” ones. They had to be killed, banished, ignored, and stuffed. I learned this from both Christian circles (like the counselor above) and my own fears. I didn’t want others to see my emotions.

Christian living straddles two realities. Christ is making all things new (Rev. 21:5). But no one has fully experienced that newness.

When the Bible describes God’s eternal kingdom, it paints a picture for us of the most glorious feast, nothing less than a heavenly party.
