keeping our hearts light toward ourselves and heavy toward the needs of others

When the battles for cultural supremacy in our Babylon threaten to eclipse the presence of God within us, let us respond by imitating the character of Jesus.

As image bearers of God, we are eternal beings, and our souls will live forever somewhere. How do we cultivate an eternal soul that outlasts the constant impulse to live like there’s no tomorrow?

Religion can be tricky. Like when we look to religious practices as a framework for becoming a good person.

Jesus has a plan for us to build a healthy inner life in an increasingly divided and toxic culture where darkness can quickly accumulate in our souls unaware.

Jesus’ blood relatives had had enough. His continual rebukes of the cultural elites and standing religious customs were more than they could take. They thought he had lost his mind, as Matthew records in this clarifying, eye-witness narrative.
