Good, for Nothing?
James speaks of good works like “looking after orphans and widows” as an imperative, not because it’s necessary for salvation but because it’s necessary for the orphans and widows.
Everything is Important
God isn’t your overbearing boss, but he’s still the one in charge of the whole operation.
Receiving and Giving
No story is boring if you hear God whispering throughout: “This is what I do. I got this.”
Hand-Selected
Sometimes you may feel mismatched and filthy. But to God, you’re handmade with a purpose.
Big Boast, Small Numbers
Let’s talk about our shortcomings, and the abundant measure of God’s goodness.
Just to Receive
Something must provide the air. This is true for cars, human bodies, and, most importantly, our souls.
Comfort and Conquest
He lavishes comfort onto His people before He explains how it’s going to happen, during a time when it’s not entirely believable.
Hitting the Brakes
God’s power is like a brake booster, giving us what we need to hit the brakes and call on Him when we don’t want to hit a wall.
Our Contribution
Even our best efforts to remove sin from our lives cannot change our sinful condition.
Built to be Itself
No human can bear God’s law perfectly. Yet we sometimes expect people to bear our laws and standards perfectly.
