Never Have I Ever Been Unholy

Have you ever played the social icebreaker game in a small group or youth group, Never Have I Ever? Imagine if, during my turn, my statement was, “Never have I ever said anything unholy.” Immediately, you would know that I was lying! “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us” (1 John 1:8). And as you scanned the room, every honest person playing the game would be standing or raising their hand—because we all have said many unholy... Read More

Holiness for God and People

It is essential to understand that we have been saved not just for heaven but also for holiness. “As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy” (1 Peter 1:14-16). In our pleasure-obsessed, self-centered world, where comfort is king and temporary personal happiness is the definition of the good life, this quest o... Read More

Remembering Tim

On Sunday, May 21, 2023, my wife, Luella, and I had the unique privilege of worshipping with the grieving congregation of Redeemer Presbyterian Church on the east side of New York City. You could feel the congregation’s love for their pastor, Timothy Keller, who passed away two days earlier, on May 19. We watched a video of Tim’s last words to the people he loved so much. His words of counsel going forward were classic Keller, but I was particularly taken by his very last charge. ... Read More

Walking Away from Holy

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” (Isaiah 6:3) The holiness of God needs to be at the center of how you make sense of life. Whether you are a homemaker, executive, pastor, plumber, farmer, designer, or professor, it is impossible to understand anything in your life correctly without the doctrine of the holiness of God. But here’s the problem: the culture around us, along with the systems and institutions of that culture, has aband... Read More

The Holiness of Qadowsh

Did you watch the coronation of King Charles III over the weekend? This month, we’re reflecting on God’s kingship, specifically, his holiness. The most recognizable declaration of God’s holiness is captured in Isaiah 6:3, when one seraph says to the other, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” But of course, there are many more. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture is filled with pronouncements of the holiness of God. Exo... Read More

The music, jewels, dress, weapons, animals, automobiles, and art will all have been carefully prepared to the finest detail with one purpose: to declare to the world that Charles III is ...

The Hallway of Life

When our children were young, with little understanding of life and its dangers, I would have to say, “No” or “Not yet” to them, even though I knew they didn’t have the capacity to understand why. They would be understandably upset and ask, “Daddy, why?” so I would say, “Daddy would love to help you to understand why, but even if I told you why, you still wouldn’t understand.” To try and ease their confusion and frustration, I would ...

In The Beginning...

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep.

99 Days of Losing

I live in Philadelphia, and it’s been a tough year for fans of our professional sports. In the span of 99 days, three Philadelphia teams lost in the championship game: soccer, baseball, and football. But it hasn’t always been so bad. In 2008, the Phillies won the World Series, and in 2018 the Eagles won the Super Bowl. I live on the edge of Center City, and the city went crazy the nights Philadelphia won. The celebrations were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. A seeming... Read More
