In today's devotional, I reflect briefly on the life of Keith Green, who, along with two of his young children, died in a plane crash in 1982—doing the work of his ministry, naturally. Green's life, as much as anyone's, was characterized by the title of his second album, No Compromise.

As I argue in this podcast, Jesus teaches all of us to live lives of "no compromise."

Our scripture comes from Philippians 3:8-11.

Short answer: yes. But listen to this podcast for the long answer. Our scripture is Psalm 38:1-3, 8-11.

This episode features the 1979 song "Daytime Nighttime Suffering," by Wings. It was the B-side to his hit single "Goodnight Tonight.

How can we be confident that all of our sins—past, present, and future—are forgiven? For starters, by not being confused about justification and sanctification. That's what this special "flu-length" episode is all about. Enjoy!

The featured song is Keith Green's "Make My Life a Prayer to You," written by his wife Melody, from his 1978 album, No Compromise.

I suspect many thoughtful, sincere Christians feel guilty because of their sins. Not necessarily the ones they commit before their conversion but after. If that describes you, I hope this episode and the next one will help you. Our scripture comes from 1 Corinthians 6:13-18.

The featured song is Glen Campbell's version of the Randy Newman song "Marie." I recorded it from his 1975 LP, Rhinestone Cowboy.

Today's podcast makes sense of Jesus' strange response to his mother in John 2:4, "Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” Our scripture is John 2:1-11.

The featured song is the Everly Brothers' "Devoted to You," which I recorded from their 2015 compilation LP 15 Everly Hits.

Have you noticed that the things that you fear today aren't things that are happening today? Rather, they are things that might happen next week, next month, next year. Why is that? Yet Jesus says not to worry about anything beyond today. It seems clear to me, then, that our fear is a far bigger problem than the things that we're afraid of.

Our scripture comes from Matthew 6:34.

Today's podcast features the Beach Boys' "In My Room," which I recorded from their best-selling 1974 double-LP compilation album, Endless Summer.

As I argue in this sermon, we make prayer more complicated than it needs to be. The message of Jesus' words in today's scripture, Matthew 6:6-13, is that prayer isn't that complicated. Listen to this message and find out way.

In this episode, I talk about the upcoming Super Bowl, and what we can learn about God from the Eagles' inevitable defeat... Just kidding! Like nearly every American outside of New England, I'll be rooting for the Eagles!

Our scripture is Genesis 50:20. This podcast features the Beatles' "I'm a Loser," which I recorded from their December 1964 Capitol album, Beatles '65. (Yes, I know it originates on the UK album Beatles for Sale.)
