Our measurements for greatness often don’t match with God’s measurements. We see Eliab the strapping son of Jesse and we cry out, “Anoint him! Make him king!” But, God sees the eighth son of Jesse, who seemingly wasn’t important enough to even invite to the party, and He says, “There is a man after my own heart!” The Bible chronicles a long line of…

The Gospel frees us to live in a brand new way—you are not stuck living the way you always have … you are a new creation! This is certainly true with the two defining characteristics of a believer’s life: love and humility.

Too many Christians see holiness merely as a legalistic list of dos and don’ts, but holiness in Scripture is always a positive thing.

God designed us as humans to remember. But, that doesn’t mean we do. He even commands us to remember. But, we still struggle to live according to our design. Ironically, we even want to remember, but without a purposeful and intentional strategy we simply fail in this mission. Remembrance is a tactical way to sponsor the growth and continuance of T…

There are many blessings and benefits of the Gospel in our lives. As we begin our investigation of a few of them, Nathan Johnson focuses on the topic of adoption.
