Three truths Christians believe that should be a constant source or happiness: (1) Our bad things will turn out for good (Rom 8:28) (2) The good things we have can never be taken away from us (Rom 8:29-31; 37-39) and (3) The best things are yet to come (Rom 8:18-21).
Felix Nmecha found the net for Germany… but his celebration said even more than the goal.
After scoring, he symbolically laid down his crown, a reminder that every gift, every victory and every moment of glory ultimately belongs to Jesus.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
Much of pastoral counseling—for all its knotted complexity—boils down to three things:
1. This is what God accomplished in his Son. Will you rest in it?
2. This is what God promises in his Word. Will you wait for it?
3. This is what God commands in his Word. Will you obey it?
There is a great gulf between the Christianity that wrestles with whether to worship at the cost of imprisonment and death, and the Christianity that wrestles with whether the kids should play soccer on Sunday morning.

In victory or defeat, Jesus gets the praise.
Illinois’ Ben Humrichous pointed to the grace of God after a loss to UConn Saturday night.
"When the buzzer sounded all I wanted to say was praise God for the gift that this was”

This Easter, I invite you to look at Jesus, consider what he said and did, and ask for yourself what I believe is the most important question you will ever answer: Did he really leave behind an empty tomb? And if he did, what does that mean for you?
This video was made possible and in collaboration with my friends at @ChildlikeMedia.
Created things:
1. Have no capacity to satisfy your heart.
2. Cannot give you inner peace.
3. Cannot give you the heart rest of contentment.
4. Cannot quiet your cravings.
In a word, created things cannot be your savior.
