What Do People Misunderstand About God’s Love Today?

From the Show

Is the Holy Spirit a person?

The one who spoke through the prophets and the apostles inspiring the scriptures is no less than God Himself…The one by whom the eternal Son assumed our humanity from the Virgin Mary and who sustained Jesus in his obedience even unto death, even raising him from the dead, is also the person of God who indwells us right now as a deposit, guaranteeing our final resurrection. No less than God, the Holy Spirit, is indwelling us so that we can bring our prayers to the Father. Our ascended savior Christ prays for us in heaven, the Spirit prays within us and with us to the Father. — Michael Horton

Three Themes to Take Away from the Book of Isaiah

Few books in Scripture match Isaiah for the breadth and grandeur of its vision of the Lord’s work of redemption. Beginning with the dismal situation of Israel’s failure, Isaiah gradually unfolds God’s response, which stretches the limits of our comprehension, both in its multi-faceted complexity and its long-haul execution, ending in the final judgment and new creation.

From Him, Through Him, To Him: Why We Worship a God Who Needs Nothing

Worship does not make God glorious but confesses what is already true by those dependent on him. Worship belongs to the order of truth and not the economy of exchange.

What to Do When You Don’t Feel Like Praying

Adoration can not only anchor us but also lead to surprise, exhilaration, and joy as we realize that our God’s beauty and goodness are inexhaustible. The more we contemplate the character of our God, the more he shocks us with how well he deserves our cry, “Glory!”

Imaging God in Our Hobbies

If the image of God is who we are, then it makes sense it could be seen in many different facets of our lives. It would show up not only in the way we speak or act towards others with holiness, but even in the very desires that guide how we want to spend our time. We would find glimpses of the imprint of God within our callings and vocations, but we would also find it spring up within our play.
