Christians are certainly odd and part of the reason is because we have an odd certainty. We know who has the final word and that gives us a strong confidence in this life.

Many people are searching for "the good life", but most don't know what it looks like or where to find it. Peter gives us a few thoughts on how to pursue the good (but odd) life.

One of the major themes of the book of 1 Peter is that Christians are called to be different from this world... to be strange... to be oddly Godly.

Why is temptation so hard to overcome?... One reason is that we might be focused on the wrong thing.

15 years ago, one moment changed how we would view the world... with a fear of terrorism. But maybe we have allowed our fear to dictate our response. Maybe we need to follow Jesus advice on how to treat those who have wronged us. Maybe we need to try the road of forgiveness.

We live in a world of quitters, but we have been called to keep going, all the way to the finish line. But how can we finish strong?

It's easy to start something but it can be hard to finish it. The main reason is because of what lies in-between the start and finish. We need Christ in the middle of the course to help us keep on track.

Some Christians are trying to figure out the very least they can do and still be called a disciple. That's not how discipleship works. Rather, we should be seeking training in every aspect of our lives.

In 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, Paul says that we should "Run to win... an eternal prize." What is the prize Paul is talking about here?

Everybody is running after something. Choosing the right race is truly a matter of life and death.
