Jesus shocked and offended his original audience because he turned most people’s view of life upside down. Many of us are familiar with famous lines in history’s most influential speech, such as: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” “Turn the other cheek,” “Go the extra mile,” and “Don’t Judge.” However, this very familiarity dulls our minds to what Jesus is really saying.

In the face of injustice and violence, Habakkuk cries out, “WHY?” Journey with the prophet • from confusion to confidence • from frustration-driven questions to faith-filled ...

If you want to honor God with your money, then you want to know what God says about giving.

Most churches and their pastors try to do everything at once and feel guilty if any one aspect (worship, ministries, outreach, etc.) is neglected. He replaces the exhausting concept of balance with the idea of rhythm: churches, like people, need to give attention to different programs and ministries at different times, basically by attending to their seasons and cycles.
