Why Should Nicodemus’s Story Matter to Me?

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Biblical history, Risk · on Apr 3, 2023

Easter. I won’t fully wrap my head around its message until I get to heaven. For now, I remain in awe of God’s love and Jesus’ sacrifice. But many people played a role in Easter’s message, including Nicodemus—who’s mentioned only in the Gospel of John….

Do We Ever Move Beyond Being a Child in Our Walk with God?

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Discernment · on Mar 6, 2023

From Deuteronomy through the Epistles, scores of Bible verses describe believers as being a child of God. In John 13:33, Jesus called his followers “little children.” It’s more than a term of endearment, and it doesn’t allude to being young in the faith. The phrase “little children” links our life to our position in Christ and what it enables us to do….

When the Wise Men Said, “What Next?”

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Faith · on Dec 26, 2022

Despite the Bible’s scanty details about the Wise Men, their story is extraordinary. They found some Hebrew holy writings and interpreted them to mean exactly what God said. They believed something completely counter to their culture and religion. They risked their reputations and more to find Jesus. God’s glory in the form of a star started their journey—and reappeared during the last few miles of the trek to guide the Wise Men to Jesus and His family. They worshipped the child-king, God Incarnate. Then dodged powerful enemies they’d made along the way. Details about the Wise Men end when an angel warns them in a dream to return home by a different route….

Almost Persuaded

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Promises · on Sep 25, 2022

“Almost” may be the saddest word in the English language. No matter what you pair it with, something misses the mark. “Almost perfection” is not quite there. An “almost win” doesn’t count. “Almost passing” is a worse-than-lousy grade….

Map or Compass?

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Direction · on Aug 6, 2022

Did you ever try to run away from home as a kid? I didn’t. But as an adult, sometimes I’ve wanted to run away from life. That’s how Hagar felt when she ran away—both times….

God is 55 Miles Closer than You Know

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Encouragement, Trust · on May 22, 2022

A church misconception is that if you’re “godly,” your faith won’t falter. I beg to differ….

How You Can Be Sure God is in the Details

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Biblical history, God at work · on Jan 24, 2022

“God is concerned about the details of your life.” You’ve heard that many times, but why is it hard to believe?…

When Exhaustion Overwhelms You

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Encouragement · on Sep 27, 2021

Since August, work had been wringing the life out of me, so I planned on writing about exhaustion. (It seemed appropriate.) Geesh. Last month’s exhaustion was nothing compared to these past three weeks….

When Life’s Have-to’s Overwhelm You

by Lana Christian · In: Assurance, Discernment, Strength · on Aug 15, 2021

Despite a crushing work deadline, I’m playing Solitaire on my computer. The project’s overbearing demands weary me. But coursing deep below them, like an underground river, is a more profound fatigue….
