The Bible may look like a book, but it is far, far more than any other book. It is a living, expansive Library where we hear the very voice of God.

God is wonderfully, stunningly, sometimes laughably generous. You never will outgive him, but for your joy, he invites you to try.

Christian, your joy in God shows the kind of God he is: awesome and glorious, happy and holy, beautiful and delightful beyond measure. So, come, eat, drink, and rejoice.

The world talks about joy, and yearns for joy, and pursues joy. So, what makes Christian joy any different?

Retirement does not mean retreat. Without the demands of a career, aging saints are free to invest in others who desperately need their rooted presence.

God is most honored in us when we are most desirous of him and the future he promises with him.

Pursuing a holy ambition means seeking maturity in Christ more than we seek influence in the world. An enduring example takes hidden work.

“Blessed are those who mourn.” What could Jesus mean when he calls the sad ones happy, and those who grieve glad?

As the crisis in Iran unfolds, with its devastating sorrows and tremendous hopes, how might Christians watch and pray with the eyes of faith?

“Ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” Why would God attach such a staggering promise to prayer? Because he really wants us to pray.
