We see grace emerge on the pages of Scripture whenever God provides for those who cannot provide for themselves.

Like newborn infants longing for a mother’s milk, those who have been born again by the Spirit of God thirst for the spiritual nourishment of Scripture.

We rarely think of baptism as a death certificate, but it certifies that the values and priorities of a previous life are past.

We can face real, current challenges without crippling anxiety, because our relationship with Jesus assures us of an eternal inheritance that nothing in this world can deny.

When we are convinced that Christ died for us, then we desire to live for him.

You do not become or remain God’s child because of how good you are or how articulate is your religiosity. You are his child because of humble faith in the grace God.

In his mercy, God chooses to look at us from the direction that reveals only his Son. We see our sin; God chooses to see his Son.

We need to remember our ultimate citizenship is in heaven, and our ultimate ruler is the Lord. We never abandon his standards in advocating his purposes.

Trust the One who gave himself for you and walk the path his sacrifice proves was laid in love.

God’s beautiful blessings should be viewed more as evidence of his faithfulness than of our deserving them.
