As we allow God’s Word to come alive in music, poetry, painting, or film, we open our hearts to how God works in and through us in this broken, hurting world that is waiting for his return, when “[he] will wipe every tear from their eyes” (Revelation 21:4).

I have a friend who owns his own business. A few years ago, he was wondering out loud, “What could God do through my simple business? What does this have to do with sharing the gospel with my neighbors?”

Whether we already have a loving earthly family or we are waiting for one, we can all look forward to an eternal home with our God, who declares with absolute love and authority that we are his children, “not of natural descent… but born of God!”
