True Justification (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Justification may sound like a big scary word, but Romans 5 makes it good news. The little picture of Danny picking baby Michelle for the football team helps show the point, because Michelle did not earn the pick, did not prove her skill, and did not make herself part of the team. The pick gave her the title.
The Cost of Sin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Atonement slows down one of those familiar church words and makes the cost of redemption plain. Redemption means God purchases in order to rescue, restore, and bring people home, but atonement shows that the purchase was not cheap. Sin always costs something. Genesis says disobedience brings death, and Romans says the wages of sin is death, so justice does not pretend sin never happened.
True Redemption (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Church language can become familiar without becoming clear. Words like redemption, atonement, sanctification, holiness, and righteousness can be heard in songs, podcasts, posts, and church life, while the real meaning still stays fuzzy. The simple question underneath it all is, “What does this mean?” Redemption is not just another word for forgiveness. Redemption means to purchase someone in order to rescue, restore, and set free.

Who Do You Say He Is? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The world does not mind a manageable Jesus. The world can handle Jesus as a teacher, humanitarian, therapist, life coach, political mascot, or spiritual figure who gives wisdom in hard moments. The world resists Jesus as the divine Son of God, the crucified Savior, the risen King, and the returning Lord, because that Jesus cannot be managed. A Jesus who stays inside human preferences is easy to admire, but he cannot save.
Lost and Found (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A lost and found bin opens the imagination to people who feel visible yet unclaimed, present yet unseen. Luke’s gospel sets Levi right there. Everyone knows his booth, his job, his reputation. Jesus sees him and says, follow me. The label stays on the shelf, but the man gets called into a future. Religion spots a booth. Jesus sees a disciple. The text insists that “you may be lost, but you’re not forgotten; unclaimed, but you still belong to me.”
