Christianity does not start with an invitation we offer to Jesus, but with an invitation Jesus offers to us.

Peruse the Christian marketplace, and you will find a plethora of books, songs, and paintings that depict God as a loving Father.

God has clearly called and gifted some people in the church to teach his Word formally.

We desperately need each other in the daily fight to follow Christ in a world that's full of sin.

Instead of trying to conquer sin by working hard to change our actions, we can conquer sin by trusting Christ to change our affections.

I could not help but think that somewhere along the way we had missed what was radical about our faith and replaced it with what is comfortable.
