You have need of endurance
Every morning when I’m home in San Diego, I go to a gym to work out with a trainer. His name is Todd Durkin, and he’s one of the best trainers in the country—and one of the best things that’s happened to me in recent years. Besides the fact that he’s an incredible physical fitness […]

Go to Their Things And They Will Come to Your Things
It was the Friday night before the Australia Day (which is Australia’s equivalent to the USA’s July 4th) weekend holiday. My wife, Steph, and I were inside an old-school bar where the walls, floor, and ceiling were painted black—because, quite simply, it’s easier to clean up the mess afterward if the surfaces are black. The […]

The Pursuit of Holiness
Christians hear and talk a lot about holiness and being holy. We are told that the sanctuary of the church is a holy place, that we are a holy people who should act in a holy manner. We even use the term in a derogatory sense when we describe someone with a “holier than thou” […]

The Pursuit of Holiness
One of the best books I have ever read is The Pursuit of Holiness by Jerry Bridges. It was life changing. Here is and excerpt: The shrill ring of the telephone shattered the stillness of the beautiful, crisp Colorado morning. On the other end was one of those utterly impossible individuals God seems to have sprinkled […]

Reaching your friends and family
Jesus modeled a deployed lifestyle. He left heaven—that’s really leaving home base—to live among people. He talked with, prayed for, cried with, and touched countless individuals. Jesus showed up in all kinds of places—from synagogues to water wells to private homes to fishing boats. Jesus attended weddings, funerals, dinner parties, and other gatherings of family […]

How to Be Happy according to Jesus
Everyone is seeking happiness, but most people never find it. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus explains to us what true happiness is and how we can find it.

COOPERATE WITH GOD’S PLAN
The second principle is found in Luke 5:4. The second time the disciples went fishing, they fished under the direction of Christ, obediently following his instructions. We must not only appropriate God’s presence in our lives, but also cooperate with God’s plan in our lives. Jesus told the disciples where to fish, when to fish, […]

Living a life of Peace
As I was writing this chapter, my wife and I were staying at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. That day, May 18, 2017, an intoxicated man drove his car over the curb, killing an eighteen-year-old girl and injuring twenty-two others. His car finally stopped when it smashed into the barriers in front […]

Do you like God?
Spiritual growth requires that our life with God move from the “should” category to the “want-to” category, and the most basic assessment we have for any experience or event is what psychologist Jonathan Haidt calls our “like-o-meter.” Your like-o-meter was running the day you were born. Taste receptors in babies are pretty well developed, so […]
