People create our own versions of God and then point fingers of blame at these versions of God. “He let my sister die. He doesn’t care.” “He sent a hurricane. He’s cruel.” “He needs to be number one in your life. He’s such a narcissist.” But these inaccurate versions of God aren’t real, so the fault isn’t, either. God is …
The opposing team enters the basketball court. The crowd stands and roars. Not in support. But in an act of overt intimidation. They shout in unison, “Whose house?” Stomp. Stomp. “Our house!!” Repeat. In other words, this is our home court. This is our gym. We own it and we own you! You can’t come in here and beat us. When Jesus would enter …
Personally, I have regrets about undone to-do lists and missed opportunities of the past. And I worry about what the present circumstances might mean for the future.

Well, little students who want to rush through homework make careless mistakes. Little swimmers who want to speed along on slippery concrete aren’t aware of the danger. Walking can also be preferable to …
When your life is over God is not going to ask you why you weren’t your boss or big sister or your dad. He won’t ask you why you weren’t Moses or Mother Teresa or Joanna Gaines or Jeff Bezos. He’s going to ask you if you were the best version of you. We are each uniquely gifted persons, particular …
Jesus clearly and consistently calls people to follow him. This is what believing in Jesus means. The Facebook pages, Instagram posts, blogs or podcasts you follow—it’s because you want to be led, to be influenced in some way. So you give your trust to those people for that purpose.
