Reaffirm Your Love: When Repentance Opens the Door to Restoration

I recently read a story about a family photograph that sat on a shelf for many years. It showed happier days—a time before conflict, disappointment, and broken relationships. Then something happened that fractured the family. Words were spoken. Trust was damaged. The picture was taken down and placed in a drawer....

He tried planting cotton, but it didn’t do very well. Soybeans weren’t any better. He’s wondering what he ought to do with the rest of his life.

The Message and the Messenger

“What you do speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you’re saying,” was once noted by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson’s observation reminds us that influence is often communicated more by what we do than by what we say....

My friend, fellow Hoosier, and preaching colleague, Steve Wolfgang, recently posted 7 Rules for Self-Discovery by A. W. Tozer that caught my eye. Tozer originally published these in an essay entitled The Root of the Righteous, which later became the title of a book. Tozer understood something that Scripture repeatedly teaches: character is revealed not merely by what we profess, but by what we desire, pursue, enjoy, and value....
