If you’re wrestling with your body image, AI tools along with a host of companies and products, offer you a powerful temptation: you can alter your appearance in ways that almost feel like magic, while still remaining and looking like you.

How do we resist the temptation to sacrifice our real selves or health to achieve the impossible beauty we crave?

Our latest article from Stephen Moss explores the nearly magic-like power of AI beauty tools, how they’re temptation and power were illustrated in the writings of C.S. Lewis, and why beholding the beauty and glory of Christ frees us from self obsession and the temptation to pursue an unattainable standard of beauty.

Who is Jesus for you after your husband’s infidelity?

The Scripture is full of mystery as to why God allows suffering, including the suffering of marital betrayal, into our lives. While you may never understand the “why” behind your suffering, the Scripture is crystal clear about who God is for you in the midst of your suffering. Here are three precious truths that are relevant for you after your spouse’s sin…

First, Jesus is your steadfast refuge and tender comforter.

Second, Jesus is your faithful Bridegroom forever.

Third, Jesus is your eternal and true home.

Despite the mystery surrounding your suffering, you can know that Jesus is longing to show himself to you in new ways as your true Bridegroom, the One who never misses you, will not seek another bride, and will never, ever deceive or abandon you.

“And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees,
of which she said,
‘These are my wages,
which my lovers have given me.’
I will make them a forest,
and the beasts of the field shall devour them.
And I will punish her for the feast days of the Baals
when she burned offerings to them
and adorned herself with her ring and jewelry,
and went after her lovers
and forgot me, declares the Lord.
“Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
and bring her into the wilderness,
and speak tenderly to her.
And there I will give her her vineyards
and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.
And there she shall answer as in the days of her youth,
as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.”

Hosea 2:12-15
