Waiting and Hastening
I think God is waiting for us to hold on to His grace in such a way that the world can see a fuller display of His compassion and love.
You Gotta Serve Somebody
The more you observe Jesus, the more you will be attracted to the beauty of His character. It is this attractiveness—this loveliness and beauty—that makes Him so unique.
Understanding God
Jesus is a co-equal manifestation of God’s love. If the Father is just like the Son—that is, if Jesus revealed what God is like—this is the most amazingly good news there could be.
Babylon vs. Jesus

Nadab & Abihu: Consumed By Fire! – Part 3
I don’t know about you, but I want to know about the God who burned them up. Does God want to barbecue sinners, or does He yearn for our well-being and intimate fellowship?
Nadab & Abihu and Nearness to God’s Glory – Part 1

Leaves for Healing: Peace and Plants
The tree, with it leaves mediating “healing to the nations,” is our mission (Revelation 22:2). It helps us choose how we orient our hearts and live our lives here and now.
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.
