Everyone wants to be happy. That isn't always obvious. Some people's quest for the good life leads them down destructive roads. But we were made to flourish, to lead a good, happy, satisfying life. And most of the time we pursue whatever vision of the good life captures our heart.Scripture tells us how to be happy. It doesn't prescribe a formula th…

All who believe in Jesus as Lord must serve him as Lord. As the Lord's servants we must turn from sin and turn to striving after obedience. But we do not do this alone. We are called to turn from sin and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace together with the rest of the body of Christ (which is the church). As the Lord's servants we are tol…

When we pray "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven," we are asking God to help us and all people to deny ourselves and take up our cross, and follow Jesus Christ. We have to renounce our own wills as sinful and both want and work according to the will of God because it alone is good. We are called to do this and can be expected to do this …

If you lived in Israel in the days of the Old Testament you would have been familiar with the work of the priest. Throughout the year godly Jewish people would offer sacrifices to God for their sins. The families would watch the priests kill their animals and burn their parts on the altar as a testimony that God forgives the sins of the penitent. T…

"We do not know what to pray for as we ought" (Rom. 8:26). That's always true. Seeing the world and God's will, as we do—"in a mirror dimly" (1 Cor. 13:12)—our prayers are always imperfect. But the Spirit "always helps us in our weakness." He "intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words." The Spirit prays for us even when we do not think we…

Worship is God's first rule for his people (81:4–5). This rule is fitting because he rescued his people from slavery to sin. It is like Paul says in the New Testament. "You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body" (1 Cor. 6:20). We should not "blow down to a foreign God" () but only to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. That…

Jesus' death is a historical fact. As the Apostles' Creed puts it, Jesus "Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried." Many critics of Christianity would agree. But what does this statement mean? What did Jesus' death accomplish?These are not abstract, theoretical questions. We all feel the guilt of sin and the shame of failure.…

Every true Christian wants to know Jesus (Phil. 3:10). And part of knowing Jesus is understanding the relationship between his natures and his person. Being truly God and truly man, what kind of person is he? The church has spoken on this matter in a somewhat technical way. But this ancient analogy can help: As in humans "the reasonable soul and fl…

The ancient church struggled to believe that God could truly become man. A heresy called Gnosticism taught that matter is evil; surely God could not become a physical being. Some people suggested that the incarnation was only an illusion. Jesus only appeared to be human but was, in fact, pure Spirit. Today, the more common view is just the opposite…

Scripture says, "there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother" (Prov. 18:24). Such a friend will do at least two things for you. First, he will defend you against enemies. His faithful love is a godsend in adversity (Prov. 17:17). Second, he will help you become your best self. A true friend wants you to flourish, materially and spiritually.E…

When Jesus' disciples asked him to help them pray, he gave them words to use as they prayed together. Jesus' actions can help us consider the propriety of common prayer. By common prayer is meant pre-written prayers used in personal, family, or congregational worship. Some common prayers are simply texts of Scripture, like the Lord's prayer, or the…

Catastrophes can be awful but they are so much more gut wrenching when they are the results of warnings which were ignored. In this text, Jesus warns his listeners of the coming storm of God's final judgment which can only be survived by relying completely on Jesus himself. To hear these words and act upon them is to trust Christ and obey him as Lo…
