I think the biggest problem we Christians have with sin is our lack of belief that it can be overcome.

Lord Jesus, teach me this way of beholding, of seeing beyond sight and hearing beyond sound.

One of the marks of a maturing follower of Jesus is a humble boldness born of a deep inner conviction about what is true, which consequently gives one discernment about what is false.

We have one job in the life hid with Christ in God—and that is to show up, every day, day after day, and rehearse the truth we have heard from the beginning.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is totally exclusive, yet it is radically inclusive. Anyone who believes gets in on it.

To grow in maturity as a follower of Jesus means to grow in the anointing.

This psalm foreshadows the great vision of the new covenant, where men and women from every tribe, tongue, and nation will be adopted into the family of God.

The metric for Christian maturity is not competent skills or great gifts, but humility and holy love.

When you boil it all down, the problem is never out there in the so-called world. The problem is in here, in the broken world of my inmost self.

The love of God could bring them into relationships with other people in such a way that their lives exuded the joy-filled, holy love of God, which is the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ that can take a broken world and transform it into a new creation.
