Trying to control our circumstances is so tempting because we are called to steward our lives, but only God truly has control, and our sin nature wants to ignore that fact.

How do we become people of God who boldly live for the gospel and have real impact on the world around us?

I would say I’m a pretty adventurous guy. The second time I went skiing was in Colorado, and I was with a friend who’s a black diamond skier. He turned to me and said, “Hey, let’s tree ski.” I shrugged. “Sure!”

Let’s just say I’m lucky to be alive today.

If we truly believe in the promise and freedom of the New Covenant, we will find a fiery passion for God’s presence and work growing inside of us. 

If we are a believer, our foremost desire should be to please God, but is it biblical or even possible for us to make God marvel

What would revival look like if it were actually going to change the face of our nation and, more importantly, the church in America?

How do we stir up a radical passion for God’s will and people in the world? Suffering and how we respond to it could be our answer.

Fiery passion for God’s work is born out of compassion, if you think about it. God sent Christ to die for sinners. Biblically, his glory and judgment go hand-in-hand with his love for us as his image-bearers and grief over sin.

The Bible seems like it goes back and forth about whether or not God ever changes his mind about things. How do we make sense of this?

Spiritual gifts cause an unusual amount of tension in the church, whether it’s people clamoring for their talents to be recognized or those who are fearful of their misuse.
