This past week, I have been really enjoying Chris Tomlin’s latest CD, See the Morning. There is one song called, “Everlasting God” that I have been listening to over and over again. It’s a song that recounts one of my favorite texts in all of the Bible, Isaiah 40: Have you not known? Have you [...]
In terms of practical response to the Gospel, I can think of no more practical response than repentance and humility. When Romans 5:8 tells me that Jesus died for me while I was still a sinner, and this was God’s demonstration of His love for me, a terrible sinner, it’s humbling. And so repentance in [...]
3 Questions to Ask to Invite Correction into Your Life 1. Have you seen any idols in my heart that you believe that I have not dealt with? 2. How can I grow more in light of the Gospel of grace? 3. How can I serve you or love you better? — Take care, brothers, [...]

And listen to how Sovereign Grace responded as a whole to their situation: Months ago I posted the story of our church’s pursuit of larger space for our meetings. We live [...]
Just a bit more on suicide from a biblical perspective… 1. I read a text like 2 Tim 4:6-7: For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. [...]
