William Taylor - As a new creation, the Christian has a new wardrobe. Kindness, compassion, meekness, and love are now in fashion. But this is not an individual affair, with each person dressed in their own outfit — we are one body. And the key to this new wardrobe is very simple — and free!

Phil Hudson - What will help us grow in hope? In this final chapter of the Book of Consolation, God paints a picture of glorious restoration, accomplished as all his great covenant promises converge. As we dwell on these promises he will strengthen us in hope.
