Only 144,000 People?

God’s longing desire and goal for human history have been to find a receptive people whose faces are turned towards Him, offering the world a reflection of Jesus.

Don’t Be Afraid of the Chaos

Do not be afraid! Do not be afraid in light of what it takes to critically engage the world with the truth about the kind of person God really is. Jesus has already overcome the world and everything in it. You don’t have to be afraid to run into the chaos. Don’t let anything that is happening in the world around you become more important or more powerful to you than the truth about God as revealed by the Person of Jesus.

The Big Ten for Today’s World

One can read the commandments as enforced rules that must be obeyed, or one can read them as facilitating a relationship with God—as His commitment to engaging with us to help us see Him as not only our sovereign but also our savior, lover and friend.

Psalm 73: God’s Sanctuary and Me

What our world needs today is a picture of God’s goodness and love, a rarity in these times.

No Other Name

The men of Israel once asked their foes to say the name “Shibboleth” (Judges 12:6), and if they mispronounced it, they were doomed.

Abolishing Dividing Walls

Jesus is our peace. Whatever dividing walls we erect—racial, religious, relational, political, or cultural—Jesus wants us to live peacefully with one another. Let Jesus abolish the hostility.

Glory Come Down

No story is greater than that of the world becoming God’s tabernacle. It inspires me to draw close to God, who longs for us know Him and to receive His love. Perhaps we don’t feel the glory of God in this world as we should because no one is working to bring Him here.
