Reading the New Testament often feels like looking into another world and another life unlike our own experience with God.

A small shift can be enough to change your perspective. When we shift our perspective, we allow ourselves to see something in a whole new light.

Marriage is designed by God to show the world a picture of Christ’s relationship with the church. Why God would use our imperfect marriages to illustrate His perfect love is a mystery, but the implications are clear. How we live behind closed doors matters.

The world can sometimes feel full of disappointments and difficult circumstances. The idea of joy may seem too lofty. Joy is something we choose to see, no matter the circumstances.
