We can't be saved without believing in Christ, but unless God gives us faith to believe, we remain dead in our sins. Spiritually dead men cannot respond to God in faith.

Israel's story shows us that God's commands are good. But also that we can't obey them in our own strength.

There is no better place to stand at the threshold of a new year than on the ancient promises of God.

Christians should anticipate God's return like an excited toddler waiting for his daddy's arrival at home.

Advent is well suited to grieving. The posture of waiting for the fulfillment of a promise matches the longing for the day when God will wipe away our tears. 

How often do you celebrate Jesus’ coming again–the second Advent–when, for all eternity, we will be in the very presence of God?
