Let's finish today neither rehearsing our failures nor counting our wins. Instead, rest in the great love our Father has lavished on us in Jesus. We are his, he delights in us, and it is enough.
The saying goes, "if we don't pay attention to history, we're doomed to repeat it." The book of Joshua teaches us to remember the faithfulness of the Lord so we can be equipped for what the future holds.

Theology 101: If you’re “deconstructing” your faith without your feet firmly planted on the foundation of Holy Scripture understood in light of the historic Rule of Faith, you’ll likely go beyond deconstruction of your faith to destruction of THE Faith.
On original sin: “Human misery is more condition than act, something for which we are to be pitied rather than something of which we are to be accused.” Dirkie Smit
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
(Galatians 3:28 ESV)
The church's economy is that regardless of your background, job, social standing, wealth, popularity, skills, or lack thereof, everyone is equal—equally in need of Christ’s saving grace and equally accepted because of Christ’s work in your life.
@cbc_nashville we get to take the Lord's table together tomorrow! I don’t bring this up so you’ll start pre-judging whether you’re worthy to “take & eat.” I remind you, so you can rest and come rejoicing, remembering how all that needed to be accomplished is satisfied in Christ.
A culture of grace must be protected if it is going to last. There will always be “circumcision” types (Acts 15) who want to turn primary things into secondary things and secondary things in the primary things. A leaders job is to keep first things first and second things second.
One of the greatest comforts I’ve found in life is to trust that Scripture is God’s divine Word, and as such, is our ultimate authority. #solascriptura
The key difference between despair and hope has nothing to do with circumstances and everything to do with faith.
As God told Paul in 2 Cor 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.“
I’m excited to unpack how God is gracious and merciful, forgiving sin, and at the same time, He will by no means clear the guilty and must punish sin.
Exodus 34:6-7 might just be the best description of Christ’s role in redemption.
