Last year, in a faraway magical land known as Italia. A study figured out what month the average Italian gives up on their New Year’s resolution. And you may have guessed it, it’s February. If you didn’t know, February is one month after January. That’s not much time. The realization is that we want to follow through on things; we don’t want to give up. But the problem is that we are not convicted enough to be able to follow through. But there’s nothing more significant to be convicted about on this Earth than Jesus Christ and his promise of being the way, the truth, and the life.
So we are now in February, and my invitation is to follow through with the Lord. Ask Jesus for a greater conviction of your faith. Because we’re no longer talking about New Year’s resolutions but about eternity.

Shining Light in the Dark
So why does Batman only come out at night? Because that’s when the criminals come out. You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. Criminals prefer working in the darkness rather than the light. And so in the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus says, “The light came into the world, “but people prefer darkness to the light.” The reality is that we are all criminals. We love to keep…

From Mud Pies to Beautiful Beaches
Guys, C.S. Lewis is such a stud. He is a champion and a man among men when it comes to the Christian faith. And he had a great quote, “We are like ignorant children. Completely happy and content playing with mud pies in the dirt when we have no idea what an invitation to the beach at the sea would be like.” Jesus is inviting us to live…

Greatest Christmas Present
On Christmas Day, the math is surprisingly simple: the person who has God has everything, the person who doesn’t have God has nothing, and the person who has God plus everything else is no greater than the one who has God alone. That’s the heart of Christmas. God doesn’t just give us something. He gives us Himself. Jesus is the greatest gift ever offered, fully given and fully available to us. This Christmas, we’re invited to receive the gift that truly satisfies: God with us.
