The grace of God in our Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient for you today

Important Reminder: You don’t have to feel spiritually wrecked to be spiritually wrecked.

“The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.” -Augustine

The journey toward health in an existing local church is a slow, but important work. You have to play the long game and not panic when things aren't as they should be. But what might happen if we stay, pray, preach, and persuade?

“The best way to understand the fall is to say that we take the good things God has given us and make them god instead.” Justin Whitmel Earley

There will always be newer, bigger expectations on your life. There will always be more projects, more emails, and more goals. But these demands pale in comparison to our Savior who says, “come to me and I will give you rest.”

"None of us gets our dream in the way that we dreamt it, because none of us writes our own story. God, in his love, writes a better story than we could ever write for ourselves." - Paul Tripp

“The degree to which your decisions are fear-based is the degree to which you are unhealthy.” - Jonathan Pennington

“To say, ‘Thy will be done,’ is to say, ‘Thy goodness be shown.’ It's to seek out evidence of God's goodness even in the hardest of his providences. It's to worship him, even with a broken heart.” — Tim Challies, Seasons of Sorrow, 30.

Doctrine + Action - Affection = Legalism Action + Affection - Doctrine = Liberalism Doctrine + Affection - Action = Quietism Doctrine + Action + Affection = Christianity

The world says, always moving the goal posts, "Try harder, do more, be better." The Lord says, because of Christ, "I am satisfied with you."

We’re taking our 5-year-old to his first FC Dallas game tonight. He said he is going to wear his jersey and promised to keep his pants on. I love that that had to be said.

The study of theology should produce more adoration for God, confession and repentance of sins, and grace toward others. If it’s only fueling your desire to argue with others, you’re doing it wrong.

This is the most convicting and powerful thing I’ve read all week - “Teach me in health to think of sickness, in the brightest hours to be ready for darkness.” #valleyofvision

There is tremendous freedom in knowing that we serve a God who is sovereign over our opportunities, passions, and talents. You may feel called to something that feels far off, but that doesn’t mean the season you’re in now is a waste or a distraction. buff.ly/3IYsAOQ

It’s prideful to think we’re too busy to rest, too important to stop, or too strong to step back. It’s impossible to depend on Christ when we think we’ve got it handled ourselves. buff.ly/3IrwJcE
