God of the Garden: What We Can Learn from Digging in the Dirt

Black earth has a sanctity to it. The color calls to us from a damp, ancient place where life comes from death. It’s the call of richness, of fertility, of potential. Black soil is the home of all things green and godly. And that makes perfect sense. All that’s green and godly comes from the […] The post God of the Garden: What We Can Learn from Digging in the Dirt appeared first on PTH. Read more »

Where Lies Love’s Greatest Desire?

I came across a striking sentence that shouldered my mind down a long path with no end in sight (and that was a good thing). Let me share it with you. Love’s highest desire is not to appropriate, but rather to give. Edmund Clowney, Christian Meditation, p. 81-82 It doesn’t stand out too much, does […] The post Where Lies Love’s Greatest Desire? appeared first on PTH. Read more »

Things Unseen by J.G. Machen

There’s a lot of hype around this book, as there should be for anything written by Machenyhy. So I was excited to dive into it. This a series of radio talks that Machen delivered to a general audience in the 1930s, which makes the tone conversational and the reasoning accessible. If readers are looking for […] The post Things Unseen by J.G. Machen appeared first on PTH. Read more »

This is at the heart of my next book, which is coming out very soon. So much of the biblical story is about being in God‘s giving circle. He is always giving to us so that we might always be giving to others. Lord knows we need that message again and again. If you’re interested in helping me launch this book and watching God work through broken vessels, I’d love to have you. You’ll get to read the book before anyone else. Stay tuned.

Been off of social media for a bit. Wanted to come back to offer some encouragement. If you’re battling anxiety and other forms of mental illness, God SEES you and he is WITH you. You may not feel that presence, but it goes beyond feelings. God is in the room. Right now. With you.

I’ve always loved wood grains. I used to carve and whittle as a kid. I made walking sticks and canes. After I’d stripped the bark off the wood and let it dry, it was time for sanding. With each finer grit of sand paper, more of the wood’s soul would come to the surface, like a face coming into focus. The grain is the marker of time, showing layers of growth. Year after year adds beauty that will only be uncovered by rough grit. But when it is, it’s breathtaking. It’s the work of God.

You and I aren’t so different from wood. We have layers. God adds days and months and years to our life, and each one rests on the surface only a short time before it’s covered by the next layer.

Adversity is the grit that seems to pull part of us away. It works slowly. It gathers our dust and casts it to the wind. We mourn for that dust. We want it back. But having it taken away only reveals how much work God is doing. In the end, you’re going to be beautiful (and already are) because you’re going to look like Jesus Christ.

Stacked firewood with this guy this morning. I did it with my dad as a kid, and now it’s one of my favorite memories of him. I told that to Isaac this morning and he said, “oh, so the tradition continues.” 😊😍😭

This is all I can think about right now. Really. Only the PERSON AND WORK of Jesus Christ, applied by the Holy Spirit. That’s what this country needs. That’s all it’s EVER needed. That’s all it ever WILL need.

I took a little break from social media, and I have been using that time to get some reading done. I am really looking forward to the release of @joel.i.clarkson ‘s book with @navpressbooks, Sensing God. It calls us to use our sensory experience to see the beauty of Christ in the concrete moments of everyday life. Pensive, poetic, and thoughtful. I really enjoyed it. The book drops on January 12, so you can pre-order now. I also wrote up a review of the book on my website. To read the review, click the link in my bio. Then click the button that says “new on the blog.“ You’re in for a treat!

In our house, he’s known as “Mickey Man.” He’s perfected puppy eyes after years of practice.

This is the sort of thing that sounds trite to Christians at times. I know, because people said it to me when my father died, and after I’d been hospitalized with anxiety. Generalities never seem so effective when pain is raw and concrete.

I think I would’ve wanted someone to say something more like this: “Hey, this is gonna shape you so much in ways you can’t see yet, and you’re going to come out of this looking more like the Son of God. I hope I’m there to see it.” Do you feel the difference?

In Finding Hope in Hard Things, I try to set out something like this, showing that our hardest things are shaping things. There’s a whole lot that’s going to happen to you that’s painful. You are going to hurt. You are going to lose. You are going to be discouraged and disappointed. The most important thing in all of that isn’t how you feel; it’s what you stare at in the process and how you grow around it, the way ivy grows around a hole in the fence.

The very God purpose of God in your hard things is actually pretty amazing: God’s going to make you look more like his own Son.

All of life, Paul Miller reminds us, is a process

All of life, Paul Miller reminds us, is a process of dying and rising with Christ. We can do that with the anxiety we face each day. Every bit of anxiety is an opportunity to share in Christ’s sufferings and then in his resurrection life. If you’ve been battling anxiety lately, check this one out. I think it’ll reframe your approach to anxiety.

Paul Miller’s book J-Curve is destined to become a classic, in my opinion. I have been so spiritually blessed by it that I wrote an article on how to apply its central teaching to anxiety.

Many people flee from anxiety or seek to eliminate it as soon as possible, but maybe something else is going on. Maybe there’s a real chance to experience the life of Jesus in our death-like state of feeling overwhelmed and helpless. That’s what I get into in the article. I’m excited to see what you think!
