Delight in Grace

You’ve likely seen a video of someone putting their whole weight on something that could not truly hold them up. Whether it is a man swinging from a worn out rope or a woman standing on a decrepit ladder, the result is never good. These people put their confidence in something that failed them! We realize that we can’t move forward with confidence unless the object of our trust is truly trustworth...

What is your idea of peace? Well, people have varying views of how things ought to be and on how to attain that place of peace, but God has laid out for us in His Word both the true nature of peace and how we can have it. Sadly, mankind has often turned aside from God’s way. C.S. Lewis points out that human history is the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which wil...

We clearly live in a world where something has gone terribly wrong. Where do we find security when surrounded by so much uncertainty? One whose life is built upon God, who banks it all on the truths of His Word, will find himself anchored and secure.

C.S. Lewis said “The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.” See, goodness is a natural outflow of a life of faith in Christ. A life surrendered to Him will be a life that leaves footprints to help others move toward the Lord. We are continuing through Psalm 37 in this series titled Living by Faith.

It frees us to be meek.

Henry Thoreau observed that “the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” In our culture of pressure and noise, true quietness of soul is somewhat of a rarity. The American heart is often filled with anxiety and stress. But the metanarrative of God’s Word offers freedom from the frantic search for continual control. Psalm 37 holds rich truth to help us view the world around us with confident...
