When we focus only on the weird and worrisome parts of Revelation, we've missed the point--because it's all about Jesus.

When the gift of power is rightly understood, it is a blessing. When abused, it can become an idol.

The impact of a father is life-changing, reaching through generations in ways that both build up and tear down.

Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but we’re a little less clear when it comes to what really makes the Good Place so good, and who actually gets to go there.

If nobody's perfect, does that mean we're all just one bad decision away from missing God's will? What happens next?

Perhaps the most radical part of following Jesus in the real world is obeying his command to love everyone--yes, everyone. Always.

Following Jesus means much more than mental agreement. It means we actually have to obey him in our real, everyday life.
