Tired of talking about God
I am tired of merely talking about God. I want to see God move through me, through Cornerstone Church, and through the worldwide body of Christ. I know there’s more. We all know there’s more. That’s why I wrote this book—to explore with you how God has called us to more, through the presence and […]

What is love?
I heard about a teenager who was asked what she thought love was and she answered, “Love is a feeling you feel when you feel that what you feel is a feeling you never felt before.” That’s how most of us think of love. As a feeling. A feeling is something that just happens to […]

Everyone who wants Heaven will get in
The hymn “Rock of Ages” has a telling line: Be of sin the double cure; Save from wrath and make me pure. It’s not hard to want the “save from wrath” part of the cure. God was so willing to save us from wrath that he sent Jesus to the cross so that he could […]

Saved from…
We see most clearly what Jesus came to save us from in his name: “He will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21, emphasis added). Dale Bruner notes the expression is so familiar we miss how surprising it would have been. Israel expected the Messiah to save them from the consequences of their sin—Roman […]

Salvation is bigger than you think
“In our world, something is terribly wrong and cries out to be put right.”[8] This thought, though written by a theologian, is more often expressed in our day by poets and playwrights and novelists and musicians. Hunger and poverty haven’t gone away. Powerful celebrities assault women. The climate gets warmer. Marriages break up. Religion divides […]

Loving God completely
It’s impossible to love God as much as He loves us, because by His very nature, God is love. He doesn’t have to try to love us. He can do nothing else. On the other hand, our love is fickle. We love when we feel like it, and that includes loving God. Yet we are […]

What does it really mean to be saved?
It is certainly and wonderfully true that many people find that their life with God starts through responding to an altar call, or praying a prayer of forgiveness, or crying out for mercy in a rescue mission. It is certainly and wonderfully true that God’s capacity to save us is not dependent on our ability […]
