“Time off won’t heal you when the problem is how you spend your time on”
No More Crazy Busy Life, Carey Nieuwhof

Instead of being named Immanuel, which means "God with us," it could have been other names with other meanings:
"God against us."
"God opposed to us."
"God mad at us."
But no, it was Immanuel: "God with us."

Don't be so quick to jump to the celebration of His resurrection. Take time to pray, reflect, and lament. Remember, there is no Resurrection without Crucifixion; No Easter Sunday without Passion Friday; No empty tomb without the Cross.

The right relationship always leads to the right rules, but the right rules doesn’t always lead to the right relationship.

The demonization of one thing often requires the deification of something else. If the Bible does not condemn something then neither should we. If God always agrees with you—liking what you like and hating what you hate—there’s a good chance your God is YOU!

Christianity should feel like, “my love for others continues to deepen,” not “my beliefs are more correct than anyone else’s.”

Independence may be the most American word in our lexicon & yet, at least as far as it pertains to the Christian life & the church, it's a foreign concept to the New Testament. In its place we find interdependence. Some form of "one another" is found around 100 times in the NT.

When we have a clear sense of where we're going, we can be more flexible in how we get there.

We American Christians will always be tempted to allow our own freedom, liberty, rights, and comfort to dictate how we exercise loving our neighbor.
Jesus will keep asking us to allow the love of neighbor to dictate how we exercise our own freedom, liberty, rights, and comfort.

Following Christ is not about what you can learn, it’s about what God enables you to UnLearn.

Some wounds don’t heal
with time
they grow deeper and
widen with each
reminder of loss
each anniversary
each birthday
each breath
I’ve found it more helpful
to fall deeper into love,
widen my capacity for
joy, and seek more
intentional peace
than to wait on time’s healing.

Those who only know what they do, work harder. Those who know WHY they do what they do, work smarter.
