Keep the Faith

Sometimes our God has to say hard things to us. He doesn't do it to hurt us or to make us sad. He does so to remind us of our spiritual need for him. He says the hard thing so that he might say the beautiful thing: the good news of the gospel.

Jesus Leads Us

Our God leads us. He leads us through the Spirit. He leads us by his Word. But he doesn't stop there. God leads us through people he has established to do the difficult work of leading. By doing that work, leaders serve those they lead while they serve their Savior.

God Loves Sinners

Paul doesn't call himself the worst to speak hyperbolically. Instead, he teaches us to know our sin better than we know anyone else's. The more I understand my sin, the more I understand my Savior's love.

Our God Is Triune

It's fun to learn how things work. Sometimes it feels extremely important to know how certain things function. However, when we start contemplating the Trinity, we have to pump the brakes. I don't want a God who is supposedly beyond me to be able to be perfectly understood and explained by me.

The Only Way

There is one way to heaven. To some, that sounds terrifying. It sounds elitist. It sounds exclusive. And while it might not be either of the first two, it certainly is the third. Salvation is exclusive to those who trust in Jesus as Savior. In this exclusivity, we find beauty. As Jesus makes the gospel the exclusive way to heaven, he makes salvation endlessly inclusive!
