Photo by Ben Wicks on Unsplash My bride and I love our kids. Honestly. We enjoy hugging and kissing them. We enjoy holding their hands, though they’re quickly seeing that I’m not nearly as cool as they once thought I was! We love seeing them smile and hearing them laugh. We love when they ask questions about Jesus,…
By Dave Zuleger The idea of love is talked about often, dreamed about even more, and the subject of all sorts of songs, shows, and movies. But, what does love really mean? What does it really look like on the ground in the hardest, darkest moments of life? It’s easy to picture what love is…
Not long ago my husband and I had a weekend that would make for great reading in parenting books. Multiple children required discipline for sinning against someone else, but the contrasting responses from two of our children in particular clearly displayed biblical truth.

Christianity centers on Jesus Christ, the sovereign, saving, and satisfying Son of God. It is good, therefore, for us to take time to think often about the person of Jesus. Who is he? Where does he come from? How is it that he is both fully God and fully man? In other words, even though…
“What a waste of talent.” I sank in my chair. I tried thinking of a compelling response as my professor continued to express his disappointment when he learned I would be going into the ministry rather than pursuing a career in social psychology. He could not fathom why I would ever waste my talent and…
Can you remember a time when you had to make a big decision, and you didn’t know for sure which was the right decision to make? How did you go about making that decision? What was your process? How can we know what decision is best and most honoring to God? While we cannot know…
