The Rhythm of Jesus’ Life
Jesus modeled a healthy pattern of withdrawing to grieve, resting in prayer, and then reengaging to serve. Following His rhythm keeps our souls refreshed and our ministry fruitful.
As we deal with our troubles, we can point others to God
What if the difficult things we go through and the suffering we experience have something to do with advancing the gospel? Would it stir more resolve and commitment to the places he has put us or to the people we are called to serve?
We can do better than celebrate: Stop, ponder, contemplate, tremble
The gospel is born and bathed in mystery. At Christmas, let’s not take the wonder for granted.
Our remarkable privilege to have the most valuable treasure of all
The parade you’re a part of won’t last forever. And the treasure you’re carrying is best been when you admit the fragile vessel that’s carrying it.
It won’t change, and you’ll never fully understand. Praise God!
We need not understand the gospel. We need only rejoice that its promise will never, ever change!
Inside the guardrails is the place we best experience God’s goodness
Yes, Psalm 119 is about the law, but it also alludes to the good news of freedom in Christ. It’s a life of joy, inside the guardrails.
‘Keep the main thing the main thing’ is our main thing, too!
The Gospel of Mark opens by telling us the main thing: “This is the Good News about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.”
The gospel of Jesus has always seemed a little too simple for some
We will not win the world for Christ by any political platform or through any new way of thinking. Jesus views us all through the same redemptive lens and he calls us to respond to each other on that basis.
