Our Faithful God
This morning I was reading New Morning Mercies by Paul Tripp. In a writing discussing the battle that rages for the rulership of our hearts, Tripp made a comment, “We still tend to credit God with faithfulness only when things in our lives seem to be working.” Ouch! I cannot think of an instance when I have given God credit for, nor encouraged someone with, God’s faithfulness through events that are trying or hurtful. God has a plan, yes. God is working all things out for the good of those who love him, yes. But faithful? What does that even mean, really?...

Gospel Hope for a Heavy Heart
Broken marriages, suicide, transgenderism, maniacal behavior, defeating jobs, drug abuse, infertility, lawsuits, depression… These are not just things “out there” in the world, but a handful of the weighty conversation topics I’ve had, this week alone, involving people in my life. In some sense it is shocking and overwhelming, and in another it comes as no surprise at all. We are a broken people, that much is clear, and it is painful....
