Why does John 4:23 tell us the Father in Heaven is seeking worshipers? Is he ego-centric like we are? Or could it have something to do with the fact that we are healthy and whole and well-nourished when we are true worshipers?

Hating yourself and dying isn’t very seeker friendly. Or is it? We will explore the prerequisite of giving yourself away before being made whole.

If marriage is for self-fulfillment, you leave it when you aren’t fulfilled. And it can be a miserable obligation if marriage is society’s structure for traditional values. We see God’s definition of marriage as more than either of these.

Daryl Davis

Almost everyone has entertained dreams of marriage. But how much is reality and how much is dreams? And why would you think dreams are better than reality, anyway? Maybe marriage has something to do with God. So first things first.

“How can I get connected to God?” Many people either love that question for its humble presumption, or they hate it for its arrogant presumption. But humble or arrogant, we are stuck unless God himself makes it clear…

Who wants a national leader that looks wimpy, whose image and public relations cast him as weak and ineffective? So why then, on Palm Sunday, did Jesus ride into Jerusalem on a donkey… is he king or not?

Daryl Davis

Why clam-up when we’re angry? Is that the same thing as self-control? Maybe we would be better off learning to be angry the right way. After all, God is angry, but he’s tenderhearted…

Your family and your primary community have far more influence on your values and beliefs than mere rational choices you’ve made. This is the power of community. So imagine what could happen in a community of Grace.

Some run to self-protection. Those who can’t run pretend and cope. Is there any way to trust others when you have been irreparably hurt?

Daryl Davis

Words are such small things, often rolling out of our mouths with little effort. But before they make their impact, they have been living in our hearts, growing with creative or destructive power.

Daryl Davis

Society says they will accept you if you are adopt their beliefs… “We will accept you as long as you’re just like us.” Should Christians have the same strategy, when Jesus himself conquered us by losing power? Did God win you over with a sword in his hands or with nails in his hands?

Daryl Davis

So are we supposed to love the world, as Jesus says, or to hate the world, as Jesus says? Understanding this distinction, and why both are true, speaks deeply to our flawed humanity, and sets us on the right path to wholeness.

Daryl Davis

Most of us cannot imagine certain scandalous sins being published for all our friends to witness, whereas the sin of pride remains scandal free. But in God’s economy, pride is the most serious sin of all, and the root of most others, whereas humility is the virtue upon which so many other virtues are built.

Daryl Davis

Most people picture the Bible as a book we might page through thinking to ourselves, “I like that… I don’t like that. I agree with that… I don’t agree with that.” But what happens when the word of God settles on us, saying “I like that… I don’t like that.” Transformation and wholeness happens, and then worship makes sense.

It’s possible to find people who confess to almost any crime or sin, even the love of money. But it’s very hard to find anyone who confesses to being greedy. The remedy is contentment and generosity, evidence of the Lordship of Christ.

Daryl Davis

Money can blind and deceive us in ways that that ordinary lust just doesn’t have. Who commits adultery and doesn’t know it? But many of us live in debt because we do not have the peace that only comes from worshiping the Lord.
