Provision: Everything We Need
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. – 2 Peter 1:3 (NIV) When I went through basic training, we did a number of marches and two bivouacs (a fancy term for camp-out), and every time…

Pressing On: One Man’s Treasure is Another Man’s Rubbish
What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that…
