Jesus has brought you near when you were once far away from God, and in Christ, God is making all things new, including your posture toward others.

So young friends, set your eyes on the cross. Since we know the spectacular is wherever Christ is, you can confidently lay your dreams at his feet.

We are welcomed home to God because Jesus was exiled by God. He was forsaken that we might be forgiven.

I find myself regularly filled with joy that’s only possible through knowing I am following God’s design. I can embrace the beauty that arises when notes are in perfect harmony.

We can easily go through the motions of Christianity and fulfill our checklist of duties out of a desire for some blessing rather than worship of God. Even our worship of God can be tainted by our selfishness.

Our primary purpose in life is to glorify the Lord—to delight in him and make his great name known to all.

The blessed man, Jesus, makes sinners righteous, weak people stable, and needy people satisfied.

By God’s grace I am determined to have the humility not to require the world to bend to my preferences.

The start of a new year can sometimes feel a bit like wandering into darkness. We need fixed and firm landmarks to guide us.

Life is hard enough without endless comparison to others.

All earthly blessings display his goodness yet simultaneously create a longing for a fulfillment we cannot find here.

Contentment takes our sights off ourselves and our possessions and focuses on Christ.
