There is a Kingdom of Heaven and we are invited to become a citizen of that Kingdom. While we may suffer during this lifetime as we live according to our new Kingdom’s values, we have a King who has conquered death and evil. One day, He will take away all sadness and pain.

The Pursuit of Happiness: Day 6
“…for they will see God” is one of the most hopeful verses in Scripture. We live in a world that believes that it is impossible to see God or to even know Him in any reliable way. Yet, the truth is just the opposite! We can see God. Christians know that God has made a way for us to get to know who He is.

The Pursuit of Happiness: Day 4
One thing that I have been aware of my whole life is that I have a deep desire, or hunger, for something I do not currently possess. It hits me as an intense longing or deep dissatisfaction with my current situation—most often in lonely places, late at night when I cannot sleep or after returning to mundane life after a mountaintop experience. The experience doesn’t feel like a blessing, but it actually is.

The Pursuit of Happiness: Day 3
When I’m honest, “meek” is not a word that I get excited about. In my mind it brings up ideas of weakness, but Chromatius reminds us that some of the toughest men in Scripture have been called meek. My connotation of meek is usually “weak” but the truth is that we worship a meek God so it cannot mean “weak.”
