“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” —Philippians 4:8

Many Christians in the UK worry that a recent proposal by their government could lead to the criminalization of consensual conversations about sexuality due to a vague definition of what constitutes conversion practices.

Aging can pose a threat to our faith, joy, and courage. But Paul never lost heart. Why? Today on Solid Joys, John Piper shines a light on Paul’s secret: we renew our courage by fixing our gaze on the invisible, objective truth.

Did you know Tim Keller said it is not ok to be apolitical?
He said, "Christians can be neither apolitical nor uncritical of their political school or party. To be “a-political” (to not be active in politics or to not even vote) is to essentially support the political status quo, and our doctrine of sin tells us there is no society which does not need change, which does not have its injustices. Christians, then, are in the awkward position of having to vote for parties dominated by one or more of these idols, trying their best to defend the positive features of their respective programs while critiquing (and not airbrushing) the wrong or even toxic elements within them."

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5–6

What are you trusting him to do all day long?

This: “I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you.” Isaiah 41:10

Jesus preached that the kingdom of God is now available. It was not about to happen; it was something that had happened. Whatever the dimensions of the future realization of God’s kingdom may be when he returns in power and glory, the kingdom of God has come in Jesus Christ. It came with the king himself at the perfect moment in history.

We found that the Supreme Court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation of how they voted or the reasons why.

You should feel secure today, but not because you have control or understanding and not because you're strong and competent. No, you're secure for one reason alone:
God exists and he is your Father.

"We talk about the Jezebel spirit as if it's a sexual kind of reality.  And I think  Jezebel isn't a sexual temptress, she's an economist.  Jezebel's a great economist because she comes with a supposed escalating cultic system that will stabilize Israel."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been transforming a government that long championed vaccines into one that questions their safety.

This is what could happen over the next 25 years if shots are unavailable even to the people who want them.
