The Pursuit of Holiness

Beloved Christian, May God’s grace, by which He saved us through faith, abound in our lives to such an extent that we, like the saints of old, pursue holiness at any cost. We are called to be ambassadors of truth and representatives of God Himself to a world in need. With this in mind, we must recognize that sin is crouching at our door, intent on destroying the testimony of the transformative work of the Holy Spirit, which has led us to place our faith and trust in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Friendship’s Faithful Wounds

I have a friend named Christi. We met in 2004, and she is the person I can shoot a text to when I’m unreasonably angry, when I’m sad for no tangible reason, when I’m frustrated or embarrassed, when I’m terrified and when I feel like my faith is growing cold. She is the person who can handle my ungodly feelings, my skewed viewpoints, my darkest attitudes, my strongest, misguided opinions. I can say anything to her that has crossed my mind without fear of judgment, without bracing for a lecture, without worrying about how she will feel about me after she hears what’s really going on in my heart.
