Looking for a Better Life, by Michael Morrison

Our nation is full of immigrants. Many of us were born in a different nation, and we moved to America at some point in our life. Or maybe it was our great-great grandparents who moved to America from “the old country.” Even if we are Native Americans, if we go back far enough, we will see that our ancestors came to this land from somewhere else.

Abraham - The Real Story, by Mike Feazell

As a boy I heard the story of Abraham recounted at least once a week, and it usually went something like this: “God told Abraham to go, and he went. He didn’t ask questions; he didn’t hesitate; he just packed up and left everything he knew—country, family—and went. That’s how all of us should obey God. When God says ‘jump,’ you don’t ask ‘how high?’ you just jump.”

Living the Trinitarian Life

I’ve got a problem.

Actually, I’ve got two problems.

They are kind of personal problems, so I hope you don’t mind me mentioning them.

But you are probably already familiar with them, because you have the same two problems.

The first problem is sin, and the second is death.

A Hunger for God, by Michael Morrison

Woody Allen is not only a comedian, but also sometimes a philosopher with serious observations about life. As a movie director, he often wanted to deal with serious issues rather than comedy. He has a wit and a knack for humor, and that helped him earn money to do the other movies that he really wanted to do. He knows that life is not all about laughter; there is something more to life that he wants to find and experience – but I suspect that he has never found it.

Repentance

I once counseled a young man who was deeply afraid that God had rejected him because of his repeated sins.

"I thought I had repented,” he told me, “but I did it again.” "I don’t even know if I really have faith,” he said, “because I’m afraid God might not forgive me again. No matter how sincere I think my repentance is, it never seems to be enough," he said.

What does the gospel mean when it speaks of “repentance toward God”?

Many Christians think of repentance as ceasing to sin.

Why Did Jesus Die?

In March or April of each year, Christian churches typically set aside a day to commemorate the death of Jesus Christ. And whenever we participate in the Lord’s Supper or Communion, we commemorate the death of Jesus. It’s an important part of Christian faith and practice. Today, I’d like to explore some of the reasons for this, and I would like to begin by asking a multiple-choice question:

Why did Jesus die?

Actually, there are multiple answers.

Finding Righteousness

As Christians, we know that salvation comes by grace and not by works. It’s part of the bedrock of Christian faith.

And yet we also know the Bible tells us we need to be overcoming sin and living right. It’s easy to get the idea that salvation is really based on our good works more than it is on grace.

And since we all still find ourselves sinning, life can get pretty frustrating and depressing at times.
