The Wisdom of Pursuing Christ

The key to living a life of wisdom is to recognize that the things that matter most are the things the world cannot provide.

An Inverted Value System

Each one of us needs a Copernican shift from an egocentric world to a Christocentric world. We must dethrone self and enthrone Christ every day.

The Wisdom of Fearing God

Apart from God, you have no hope. But the book of Ecclesiastes teaches us that there is hope, and there is wisdom in fearing God.

Is This All There Is?

“Is this all there is?” This is the question we find ourselves asking when we achieve a goal, thinking it will have given us our heart’s desire. But whether we strive for popularity, power, possessions, or prestige, we will find that the things of this world cannot satisfy us.

Perception: Cultivating a Seeing Eye

What does it look like to live as a disciple of Christ in this world? One of the ten marks of a disciple is perception: learning to use nature to amplify your delight in and fear of the Lord.

Psalms 119 and 127: A Firm Foundation

One of the wisest things you can do is to put your unflinching trust in God. If your joy is dependent on circumstances, it will not be stable. On the other hand, surrendering to God provides ultimate security and satisfaction. 

Psalms 37 and 73: Hope Despite Injustice

Either life is meaningless, or it isn’t—there are no options in between. If life is meaningless, then this temporal world is all we have, and it will quickly pass away. But the wisdom Psalms teach us the truth: life has meaning, and that meaning is rooted in our eternal God.

The Wisdom Psalms: Training for Eternity

What are your priorities in life? All too often, our priorities center around what is temporal rather than what is eternal. The wisdom psalms teach us how to turn this around.
