I’m betting my entire eternity on this statement being true - that Jesus Christ was a Man who was also God, that He died on a cross, and that He rose from the dead to defeat the grips of death on humanity after taking on the sin debt for all of humanity.

Wise words from Dr. Tim Keller on how to be authentically you while being intellectually inclusive with others.

“You are a very special person. There is only one like you in the whole world. There’s never been anyone exactly like you before, and there never will be again. Only you. And people can like you exactly as you are.”

Relationships are costly. Whatever it will cost you to be with God is nothing compared to what it cost Him to be with you.

So Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me." John 8:28 #Bible

Father, your table is for sinners, not the self-righteous. Help me lay down my striving and accept your grace. Remind me of the gospel when I forget. Amen.

God loves broken people, oppressed people, and lost people. He loves them more than we can comprehend.

This makes me so happy. Meeting Brent Musburger was a great professional joy for me, and seeing this show and this setup recreated gives me joy and comfort in an uncertain world.

Wise words. Thanks, Fred.

If Jesus was really, bodily raised from the dead according to the Scriptures, then evil and injustice will be vanquished forever--- and death and suffering banished forever. Everything will be all right.

I’ve worked in sports my whole career. There is a big difference between people who love winning and people who love competition. People who love competition can also love winning but they talk different. They talk like this.

Do you believe without a shadow of a doubt that Jesus died, rose from the grave, and is coming back again?

Look at Jesus. He is always weeping, a man of sorrows. Do you know why? Because He is perfect. When you are not absorbed in yourself, you can feel the sadness of the world.

The opposite of joy is not sadness. It's hopelessness.

I woke up this morning to this picture on my phone. The Verse of the Day on my Bible App is Luke 1:37. An angel is describing to Mary how Jesus is going to be born. It sounds unlikely to Mary but the angel says it’s the word of God and the word of God will never fail. What a
