Faith is often condemned as illogical, but it always makes sense when we remember that we are dealing with a deeper consciousness of spiritual reality than the world.
We often mistakenly assume that a preacher from the dead -- and his accompanying signs -- will be more effective in converting the unbeliever. But conviction still only comes by the Holy Spirit, and Christians must preach the Gospel as it has always been.
The world’s systems of value and validation diverge from God’s. We cannot escape it all, but how we allow these validations to define our assessment of ourselves, as Christians, makes all the difference.
"The parable of the persistent widow is not a perfect model of prayer for Christians, for unlike the widow who merely sought justice, and nothing else, we seek God Himself as the end result of prayer." Kelvin draws our hearts back to the real purpose of prayer in this thought-provoking article.
We love our superheroes, but where are they when we need them most as we stand before the thrice-holy God? Only One is actually worthy.
God will use us, whether we obey Him, resist Him, or are just indifferent. How will you choose to align your life with His purpose?
David's preoccupation with his enemies seems forgivable at first glance. But what does it mean to imagine a relationship with God, like Jesus', that is independent of our enemies?
God has not put on our shoulders the burden of justifying all of his actions, as if we fully understood why he did/ does everything he does. Why does this matter?
If we believe that God is our everything, then we must learn to be content with what we have because we will always have God. Is He enough for us?
When our tales shall have come to an end, and the joy of reuniting with our friends and family shall have begun to wane, what shall we do in heaven? Sit and stare into each other’s faces for the rest of eternity? Won't heaven be the most boring place?
Stretching all the way into our past and all the way into our future as mankind is a legacy of imagining, committing, and approving what is evil. But there is a good that always overcomes evil: the wicked will not win.
