At the end of life, Mickey Mantle turned from himself to another. He asked Jesus to forgive him and to save his soul.

Jesus took our place in the darkness and dirt of the cross and put us on a new path in his light.

We don’t trust our goodness to insulate us against all earthly trials, we trust the goodness of Jesus to take us through them to himself. 

Knowing and experiencing the Holy Spirit’s re-wiring gives us confidence to move in the direction he empowers.

As we use the power of the Spirit to replace old ways of life, new life matures.

Spiritual growth that honors God requires heart change, not mere behavior improvement.

Problems will pass, God’s purposes will endure. He is near. So, take courage.

Christ’s titles display the essence of the gospel to reveal the grace of God.

God’s graceful design was to use the dingy town to bring his divine Son into the world.

If you think you do not qualify for God’s counsel, might, love, and peace, then think again.
