Titus 3:3-5a – “At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, [...]
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the message of the gospel. I know that there are depths of it that we cannot fathom. For Peter talks about “the good news… into which angels long to look” (1 Peter 1:12). The continual uncovering and rediscovering of God’s promises in the gospel have been my joy [...]

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to [...]
I was having one of those weeks. As a licensed social worker, I’m accustomed to tests of my patience. My demeanor is also somewhat tolerant, and I’m not usually too quick to anger as I try to appreciate peoples’ positive attributes before considering their faults. This particular week, however, was extraordinary. We had a friend from college and [...]
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.
