God has given us a gift that he demands we take full advantage of and yet we seldom truly grasp what it is and how to make the most of that gift.

God’s route to an end goal is usually not the one we would’ve taken, so why does he so often insist on taking us the ‘long way around,’ sometimes through pretty terrible circumstances?

God commands us “You shall be holy, for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16), but the debate over how to actually accomplish this command has caused Christians a great deal of anguish over the years.

How do we respond to people, sometimes even believers, who seem quite content with their sin and convinced that Jesus is more than happy to ignore all their indiscretions?

God often permits pain to enter into his children’s lives, and he promises to gloriously transform these moments to joy, but the space of waiting between those two moments can be agonizing.

God doesn’t guarantee us an easy life anywhere in scripture; in fact, the Bible promises us quite the opposite in many places, so how should we respond to that?

Many of us struggle with problems that have such a grip on us that we feel like we’ll never shake them off, so how do we find freedom?

When God miraculously heals or blesses a person and then they turn away from him, why did God grant them that answer to their prayers in the first place?

When our hearts harden towards God’s Word, we lose our discernment and ability to hear the Spirit’s voice, so how do we avoid falling into this deafening, deadening trap?

God’s order for us to forgive those who harm us can feel unbearable to obey at times, but they are worse consequences if we ignore his commands.
