Reconciled to God

Have you ever stopped to think about what it really means to be reconciled to God? Not just in a vague, church-phrase kind of way, but in a deep, personal, irrevocable sense?

Christ Our Righteousness

There’s something wildly counterintuitive—and deeply freeing—about understanding that our righteousness isn’t something we earn or muster up.

When you dig into scripture … Read more

The Word of His Grace Builds You Up

It’s wild how the Bible, often seen as ancient and dusty, has this incredible way of lifting us up when we tune into the right channels.

Peace with God Through Our Lord Jesus Christ

There’s a strange kind of tension in the idea of “peace with God.” You might think peace is just about quiet moments, serenity, or comfort.

Holding Fast the Form of Sound Words

You ever notice how people latch onto spiritual catchphrases as if they’re some kind of safety net? “Grace,” “faith,” “love.” Beautiful words, all of them. But what happens when those words lose their shape? When the “form of sound words” starts to wobble and get distorted on the way from mouth to mind? That phrase—“holding … Read more

The Faithful Word

There’s something captivating about a phrase that carries weight beyond its simplicity—“The Faithful Word.” It’s not just a casual catchphrase or a quaint expression you toss around in church. It’s the heartbeat of everything we believe and hold dear in grace. When you dig into the phrase with a heart that rightly divides the Word … Read more
