What does this have to do with the turning of the year? Everything. We are tempted to treat a new year like a blank page where we finally get to write a better story about ourselves. Resolutions. Reinvention. Image management. Control. But that’s not how Christians enter a year. Christians enter time under a Name already given, under a mercy already promised, under a Savior already bleeding for them. You don’t walk into this year alone. You walk into it branded—sealed—named.

The Word became flesh so that nothing human would be left unredeemed. Not only the “spiritual” parts of you. You. Your body. Your mind. Your will. Your suffering. Your death. Christ has entered the whole human condition so that He can heal the whole human condition. #biblestr View article →

This is where joy breaks wide open: God is not waiting for you to get your act together before He comes near. He comes near to rescue you. He comes near to carry what you cannot carry. He comes near to take what is yours—your frailty, your vulnerability, your mortality—so that He can give you what is His: righteousness, life, and peace. #biblestr View article →
