It is easy to live our lives as if God is nowhere to be found. We do this because the Lord is not visible (it seems) in the places we choose to look, and He does not act in the ways that we want Him to act.

The Fifth Commandment is God's provision for us to respect authority and to honor our parents.

This prayer should orient our thinking about God’s sovereign rule in the world and our lives.

We must remember that our Lord Jesus Christ did not come to earth and become man so that we would have better governments, more efficient economic systems, or even a more united society. He came to redeem sinners and to establish His Kingdom.

Jesus is the one who defeated death – He rose from the grave and lives forever. And His risen life has an explicit purpose, even as His life of ministry did.

One of the most mysterious and powerful scenes in the New Testament is our Lord Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. The mystery of Jesus, being fully God and fully man, is on display before us.

Mark 14:43-52 shows us Christ; betrayed, deserted, and alone, as his disciples forsake him in the hour of his arrest.

Instead of trusting in riches and taking advantage of others, as the men in James 5 do, we are called to live lives of bold faith in God and cheerful generosity to others.
