Our Creative, Present God
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).
Our Artist God
Does God have anything to say about how we create? In other words, does God care about creativity and the arts? God actually has quite a bit to say about the arts in his Word.
Making Disciples Among Youth and Young Adults

Grace, the Greatest Gift
As the air ambulance landed on the tarmac in Paris, France, I was placed on a gurney and rushed to a major hospital in downtown Paris. The icy February air bit at my cheeks, so different from the balmy warm air of Bokoro, Chad, where I’d been just a few days earlier.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Jerusalem is a reminder of God’s fearsome judgment and his unfailing grace to both the faithful Hebrews of the Old Testament and the Christians of the New Testament.
