God’s Will Made Simple

God’s will can be simply understood. Still, there is a bit of mystery in it. Life is full of questions, but few carry the weight of this one: What is God’s will for my life? It’s a question asked in hospital rooms, college dorms, corporate boardrooms, and quiet moments of reflection. Yet for all its […]

Do you yearn for Heaven?

You may judge of a man by what he groans after. — C. H. SPURGEON   AS A YOUNG PASTOR, I was sometimes frustrated by the emphasis elderly church members placed on heaven. What about now? I wondered. Don’t you have any goals for your spiritual life, your church, or the Kingdom of God at […]

Why the Gospel Matters More than Anything You Know

We often divide humanity into two categories: Christians and non-Christians. But there is a third, much larger group that doesn’t fit neatly into either label. These are the people who believe the question of faith doesn’t matter. To them, religion is irrelevant—a relic of a bygone era, something to be ignored. There may be a […]

Are the Spiritual Disciplines Increasingly Important to You?

WE HAD A WOOD-BURNING STOVE installed at the Whitney house last year. I’ve written much of this book on a yellow pad with a fountain pen as I sat in my stoveside chair. When you use a woodstove, you learn what it means to build a fire. First, I crumple several sheets of newspaper into […]

Try softer

Not long ago I went with my wife to a yoga class for the first time in my life. Immediately it became clear to me why yoga will never catch on: They don’t keep score. You can’t tell who’s winning. Mostly we just stretched, and I am not good at stretching. On a good day […]

Do You Delight in the Bride of Jesus Christ?

The closer you are to the Lord, the closer you will be to other believers. — PETER JEFFREY   AGUR, THE ANCIENT WRITER of Proverbs 30, acknowledged: Three things are too wonderful for me; four I do not understand: the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a serpent on a rock, […]

How People Change

In How People Change, Paul David Tripp and Timothy S. Lane dive deep into this question, offering a gospel-centered vision of transformation that goes far beyond surface-level fixes. At its core, this book argues that true, lasting change begins with a solid understanding of theology. Without a clear grasp of who God is, what He’s […]

The rest of your life is wet cement

Before the summer ended, during one of our many conversations, I ended up telling Ben that the only way to live was to follow Jesus. Ben did not offer much resistance to my statement. Jesus, he said, was brilliant. But he said it was too late for him; he had messed up his life and […]

The foundation of flourishing

There is a God. It is not you. This is the beginning of wisdom. At first, it looks like bad news because I would like to run the world. I would like to gratify my desires. I would like to have my own way. But once we think about it, this idea turns out to […]
