Today, God is still urging us to adapt our understanding of people.

Without this advice and eternal perspective, anything that threatens self-satisfaction seems like the end.

Jesus didn’t come to teach us better ways to adjust ourselves.

Will it be perfect? Of course not. But it’s worth it.

Nevertheless, God is patient with us.

We have the opportunity to reflect on our faithfulness to God’s call.

In our lives, this peculiar blend of old and new can be frustrating.

God’s playgrounds are things that can’t be explained, and, sometimes, victories that don’t even take the form of victories.

Constantly evaluating worth is important and even beneficial, except for the times when it’s not.

The war is over, the victory is won. All because the Redeemer lives!

We can let go of the fear of being forgotten because God remembered us in our most despicable state.

If contentment seems possible only after you’ve received something you don’t already have, you’ve missed the point of contentment.

God does call each follower – every last one – to an even more radical act: deciding to try seeing each person, and all of God’s creation, as God sees them.

If it seems confusing, get to know the past.

We suffer when we aren’t connected to God, and we miss out on the very purpose of our existence.

God puts people in situations where we can be faithful to him like Jesus was.

If worry lurks in your heart, the answer should be something felt in the heart – not known in the head.

Intentional vulnerability will put us in situations that can be challenging, but also excellent for our growth.

No loving God would use a checklist as the means for saving His people.

The wisdom is there in all forms, even if we don’t understand it. Paul, of all people, emphatically preached this same concept.
