"I need to confess something to you." When you hear those words you would normally brace yourself for unwanted news: I gossiped about you. I cheated on you. I stole from you. And a confession can be about something bad; we must confess our sins (1 John 1:9). But there is nothing in the word that assumes that one's confession will be negative. A con…

Everyone wants to be happy. That isn't always obvious. Some people's quest for the good life leads them down destructive roads. But we were made to flourish, to lead a good, happy, satisfying life. And most of the time we pursue whatever vision of the good life captures our heart.Scripture tells us how to be happy. It doesn't prescribe a formula th…

Jesus may not meet everyone's expectations for a savior who has authority toforgive sins, but he is nonetheless the only savior who has all authority given to him by God. Thescribes and many others in Jesus' earthly ministry concluded that Jesus was an imposter whomade false claims to authority that he did not have. But a paralyzed man by the power…

When we pray "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven," we are asking God to help us and all people to deny ourselves and take up our cross, and follow Jesus Christ. We have to renounce our own wills as sinful and both want and work according to the will of God because it alone is good. We are called to do this and can be expected to do this …

All who believe in Jesus as Lord must serve him as Lord. As the Lord's servants we must turn from sin and turn to striving after obedience. But we do not do this alone. We are called to turn from sin and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace together with the rest of the body of Christ (which is the church). As the Lord's servants we are tol…

Psalm 114:7 calls the whole earth to tremble. And in some sense, that includes believers. Those who trust in God should recognize his majesty. We should honor God and revere him. We should tremble at the thought of sinning against his holiness and against the love that he has shown us in Christ. But in context the trembling of the earth is meant to…

We tried to summarize the themes and touch on as many points as possible.

"We do not know what to pray for as we ought" (Rom. 8:26). That's always true. Seeing the world and God's will, as we do—"in a mirror dimly" (1 Cor. 13:12)—our prayers are always imperfect. But the Spirit "always helps us in our weakness." He "intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words." The Spirit prays for us even when we do not think we…

If you lived in Israel in the days of the Old Testament you would have been familiar with the work of the priest. Throughout the year godly Jewish people would offer sacrifices to God for their sins. The families would watch the priests kill their animals and burn their parts on the altar as a testimony that God forgives the sins of the penitent. T…

Worship is God's first rule for his people (81:4–5). This rule is fitting because he rescued his people from slavery to sin. It is like Paul says in the New Testament. "You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body" (1 Cor. 6:20). We should not "blow down to a foreign God" () but only to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. That…

Jesus' death is a historical fact. As the Apostles' Creed puts it, Jesus "Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried." Many critics of Christianity would agree. But what does this statement mean? What did Jesus' death accomplish?These are not abstract, theoretical questions. We all feel the guilt of sin and the shame of failure.…

Every true Christian wants to know Jesus (Phil. 3:10). And part of knowing Jesus is understanding the relationship between his natures and his person. Being truly God and truly man, what kind of person is he? The church has spoken on this matter in a somewhat technical way. But this ancient analogy can help: As in humans "the reasonable soul and fl…

The ancient church struggled to believe that God could truly become man. A heresy called Gnosticism taught that matter is evil; surely God could not become a physical being. Some people suggested that the incarnation was only an illusion. Jesus only appeared to be human but was, in fact, pure Spirit. Today, the more common view is just the opposite…
