How are you doing maintaining the New Year’s resolutions you established in January?

Imagine for a moment a father sits down on the couch next to his five-year-old daughter, who is watching one of her favorite cartoons, a show about a little girl and her talking horse. In the middle of the show, the horse turns to the little girl and says firmly, “Girls are clueless, so if …

The noise is getting louder. We live in a world full of voices making claims. Claims about what car is the most reliable. Claims about which diet plan is the healthiest.

Somehow, we as a society decided pain and suffering are not fair. And, rather than face the grief and work through it; we are avoiding it. Suffering is the last thing we want to admit about ourselves. We go about our lives hoping God -and everyone else- might not see us as exhausted, anxious souls. …
Do you make resolutions at the start of the year? I joke with my family that I made one New Year’s resolution several years back, and it was to no longer make New Year’s resolutions. So far, I’m doing pretty well at keeping it. Truth be told, I think I grew weary of making resolutions …

A pastor recently asked me if I thought it was worthwhile for churches to try to run their own “recovery” ministries when they could just refer people to recovery groups, therapists, or parachurch organizations like Regeneration. Without hesitation, I answered with an emphatic, “Yes!” When it comes to life-dominating sins or addictions, thank God for …
The scene is familiar to many of us singles: sitting in church on a Sunday, hearing more about the wonderful gift of marriage and the intimate connection it offers. It’s easy to feel deprived or lesser than, like we’re waiting for the day God will finally give us a taste of that intimacy we see …
Our aim as Christians should always be to have compassion on people. But don’t get this confused with having compassion on the delusions that hold them.

If there were a battle between Netflix and Jesus, who would win? I think it depends on what we’re expecting God to be and do for us. God’s not a vending machine. There’s no “on-demand” feature with Him, even if I’m willing to pay extra to expedite my order. The pace of culture has gotten …
