Hypocritical Healing


Mercy is when you’re spared from trouble you’ve earned. Grace is when you’re given favor you haven’t earned. And we all need mercy and grace. But too often we don’t actually like mercy and grace. Because we want it for us, but we don’t want it for others. We want Jesus to pay for our sins. But we want others to suffer for their sins. If you turn to Jesus in faith, you’ll receive mercy and grace. But would you be happy if God gave your enemies mercy and grace? Or do you just want them all to burn?

Change Hurts


People say, “Lord, change me.” But when he starts to do it, they don’t want to go through it. We want instant change with no pain. Me too. But changing who you are and how you are means something old must go, to make room for something new. The Bible calls this repentance. It’s a change of heart. A change of mind. A change of direction. A change of life. It’s not necessarily pleasant. But if repentance doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t heal.
