Grace: Getting What We Don’t Deserve
One of my dear friends, Elizabeth, came from an exceptionally broken and destructive family—a family whose experience included prison, abuse, and suicide. At sixteen years old, Elizabeth cried in anger to her mentor, “This is not fair! I don’t deserve this family, this life!” Most of us would agree with this outcry from a sweet teenage girl subjected to such a life. Elizabeth’s mentor knew Jesus, and . . . replied, “You’re right.

He didn’t deserve death, and we don’t deserve life. It…

Leah’s surgery was scheduled for September 25, right in the middle of our bye week. Even that felt like God nodding at us.

When You Believe in God but Don’t Really Know Him
“If you were to be put on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?” Many believers have been challenged by this question.

Craig Groeschel defines a Christian Atheist as someone who believes in God, but lives as though He doesn’t exist. Believing in Him must lead to knowing Him. The way to know Him is to study the word of God, and spend time with others who are doing the same. We…
