When Love Calls for Sacrifice

Marshall Segal | Do you love the world more than the one who made it? Worldliness may entice, but it promises only to deceive, defile, disappoint, and eventually destroy us. 

Greg Morse | Must we bear fruit when we have God’s grace? The parable of the barren fig tree warns us not to squander God’s mercy. 

How can Christians be freed from selfishness so that, at any cost to ourselves, we love others in a way that makes Christ look great? Answer: joy. 

Christian leaders often carry great burdens. But God never leaves them without the opportunity to know serious joy, even in the hardest trials. 

Brokenhearted joy colors the entire Christian life. We might struggle along, but in the end, we have ultimate victory in Jesus.
