The gift of adoption is a triple blessing—for the children, the adoptive parents, and—an opportunity to fulfill our purpose to glorify God.

In the last beatitude podcast, we discovered that an attitude of meekness is strength under control of Almighty God—which allows us to become both powerful and gentle. We learned this attitude only comes through Christ, as Creator and Sustainer of all things. Meekness allows us to experience the outer limits of God’s power in our life. But how are these first three BE-Attitudes sustainable in a wo...

In the last beatitude we discovered that sin destroys everything good in our life. It is our great horror. To have the abundant life, we must turn away from it; abhor it as much as we would shrink from the death of a loved one.  But both of these first two attitudes are counter to the pressure of the world culture. We are pressured to live independent from God and to do whatever we want. So how do...

In the first beatitude we discovered the answer this question: “What is the one thing you believe will give you your best life?” To be “poor in spirit” is to live with an attitude of our complete dependence on God.
