Marshall Segal | When our souls grow dull to spiritual reality, the character of God is our confidence. He has restored us before; he will revive us again.

John Piper | By God’s design, truth serves emotion. Thinking serves feeling. The lyrics of our best songs serve the Godward longings of our hearts.

David Mathis | What do soldiers, farmers, athletes, and Christians have in common? We endure, through discomfort, to get the reward.

David Mathis | God invites us not only to trust him, fear him, and obey him, but to enjoy him. For as we do, our happiness is full in him, and his glory is great in us.

John Piper | Faithful parents and teachers speak to kids on their level, but they also aim to create new concepts, new structures of thought, new ways of viewing reality.

John Piper | Reformed theology is beautiful because the God of sovereign grace is beautiful. The doctrines are windows — he is the glory.

John Piper | How can Christians be freed from selfishness so that, at any cost to ourselves, we love others in a way that makes Christ look great? Answer: joy.

John Piper | The apostle Paul was no stranger to ministry’s many strains. Yet for all his afflictions, he neither lost heart nor tampered with the truth. How?

John Piper | No one can be neutral about Jesus Christ. Either he will have our heart and soul, our life and obedience — or hell will.

John Piper | When God makes a promise, he keeps it. And he keeps it through his purposeful, all-wise, absolute sovereignty — through his providence.

John Piper | God’s will is not simply that we obey God’s will, but that we obey it in a certain way: with all of our might for all of our life.

John Piper | You don’t have to be Christian to love the story of the Good Samaritan. But applauding Luke’s parable apart from his Gospel contradicts his purpose.

John Piper | When the Bible speaks of “truth,” it refers ultimately to God himself. Therefore, truth demands more than just our minds — truth will have our whole hearts, now and forever.

David Mathis | In this earthly life, Christians do more than wait for heaven. We belong to heaven, find our hope in heaven, and serve the King of heaven.

John Piper | God never tests his saints with ill intent. As the Father of lights, his every test aims at the full and lasting happiness of his children.

David Mathis | The everyday Christian life is both a gift and a duty. By God’s own indwelling power, we work out what Christ has won.

David Mathis | The Christian life has one final aim: to know and enjoy Jesus. He justified us to know him, we daily press on to know him more, and one day we will know him fully and forever.

Marshall Segal | What counsel does the book of James offer for our relationships? Submit to God, ask for wisdom, temper your words, calm your anger, and embrace godly community.

David Mathis | The safest soul in all the universe is the one that rejoices in the risen Christ. God will never destroy those who delight in his Son.

Marshall Segal | How can we make Jesus look good in life and in death? By enjoying him as better than anything life could ever give — and better than anything death could ever take.

David Mathis | Why do so many Christians love the book of Philippians? Among other reasons, because the letter is brief, accessible, memorable, and teeming with joy.

David Mathis | The Father prioritizes the church by choosing her, the Son prioritizes her by purchasing and purifying her, and the Spirit prioritizes her in his power. So, how do we prioritize the church?

John Piper | Does church leadership seem endlessly complicated? Take heart. Christian leaders guide God’s people from where they are to where God wants them to go, using God’s methods.

David Mathis | How did Jesus know Scripture so well? The same way we can today: through patient, prayerful meditation on the word of God.
