It's not just about happiness, but about sanctification, worship, and glorifying God. Marriage has various purposes, including childbearing and child rearing, but also includes suffering and redemption. Couples who have experienced infertility can find joy and purpose in their marriage despite their struggles. [... more]

Future Hope: The Resurrection of Everything

Firm Foundation: The Resurrection and Daily Life

The resurrection of Christ changes everything, including our daily lives. It's a call to die to ourselves, to suffer, and to follow in Jesus' footsteps.

Finding Faith: Why the Resurrection of Christ Matters

The resurrection of Christ is a historical fact, and Christians believe it's essential to their faith. However, in an age of anxiety and scientism, many people struggle to believe in miracles and the supernatural.

The Christian answer to the question of whether there's anything beyond nature is a resounding yes, and the proof is the empty tomb. The resurrection proclaims that nature is falling, but there will come a day when it will be restored and made even better. [... more]
