The voices that influence us most must do more than say beautiful things. They should be from people who live beautiful lives.

As we imitate Christ, we pray that our children do the same. Not from shame. Not from guilt. But for the glory of God.

There is ultimately hope knowing that one day, because of Christ, the reality of death and its sting here on earth will be gone. This battle we face with our children, while very urgent, is momentary in light of Christ’s victory.

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.

Keeping Christ at the center of our relationships and adoration enables us to live well in both solitude and community. 

When kept in their proper place, sports can serve as an echo to the grand stories we were created for.

The Word of God is our treasure. It’s sweet like honey. Just as we feast on food, we also need to feast on Scripture.
