Biblical Encouragement of the Day

For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
1 Timothy 4:8

The Message of the Cross

Ultimately the message of the cross is simply this: it is where the stake of God’s judgement from His holiness to our lowliness intersects with His outstretched arms of grace and mercy, motivated by His great love for you.

Jonah: The Brooding Prophet

The grace and mercy of God is not yours for your own enjoyment and selfish benefit. It is extended to you so that you might extend it further to those around you.

Jonah: Unrepentant Anger

Anger is nothing more than an emotional response to unmet expectations. The question then becomes a matter of managing our expectations.

Jonah: The Repentant King

Humble leadership inspires humble followers, and God honors the humble who submit to His authority. In the same way that rebelliousness begets rebellion from the top down, so does repentance beget repentance when its starts at the top and trickles its way down to those who would follow.
