  • Forgiving Others: Joining Wisdom and Love

    Forgiving someone who has hurt you is one of the most difficult tasks anyone ever faces. In fact, it is so hard that most people avoid it at all costs. But when we don’t forgive, we pay the price of bitterness that affects all of our relationships. Is it possible to forgive a great wrong and treat others with compassion despite the way they have treated us?

    Timothy S. Lane, drawing on his personal, pastoral, and counseling experience, explains that only when you understand God’s love and forgiveness for you, will you be able to forgive those who have deeply hurt you. He applies that truth by explaining what forgiveness looks like in different situations and how to wisely practice forgiveness in the midst of difficult circumstances.

  • God’s Love: Better than Unconditional

    “God’s unconditional love.” Sounds nice, but is it enough? Is there more to God’s love?

    Describing unconditional love as detached “blanket acceptance” and “benign affirmation,” David Powlison challenges our common assumption about the nature of God’s love. Although wonderfully accepting, divine love is also intrusive, intimate, personal, and active. Instead of simply loving us as we are, God loves us enough to change us.

    Powlison acknowledges four underlying truths of unconditional love, offers biblical improvements on the idea, and urges us to see God’s love for what it really is—better than unconditional.

  • Guidance: Have I Missed God’s Best?

    What choice should I make? How do I know that my decision will fit with God’s plan for me? “We tend to think that while God has a ‘best’ plan for our life, he also has ‘cheaper’ plans for people who miss the best,” writes Petty. “But for those who are in Christ, there is only one plan.” Petty explains that God’s plan and our actions work in concert. With all the decisions we face and despite the mistakes we make, God works in all things for the good, transforming us into the image of Christ (Rom. 8:28). How comforting to know that our choices fulfill that plan in every detail.
