What do football, soccer, basketball, tennis, and baseball have in common? They all involve some sort of referees whose sole purpose is to enforce the rules of the game. These rule-keepers play a critical role.

The Grip of Unforgiveness
When our daughter, Marissa, was about 5 years old, she got her head stuck between two metal bars on a staircase at our church. After others had tried to free her, my wife came to get me. “Are you okay?” I asked my little girl. “I can’t get my head out!” Marissa said. I lifted her up, and when I got her body high enough, she finally slid her head free. What if she had stayed stuck for a long time?
Practical Theology
Living in the World
“When we come to Christ in faith, we are not snatched from the earth and immediately carried into heaven. Instead, Jesus Christ provides power to live in the world as those who no longer ‘belong’ to it.”

The Power of Memorizing Scripture
In Colossians 1, Paul prayed that the Colossian Christians would be filled with the knowledge of God, which would bring about the fruit of wisdom, endurance, joy, and holiness in their lives (see Col. 1:9–11). It is knowledge of God that drives our Christian living. We can’t do the latter without the former. When we think deeply about God as we know Him in Scripture, the truths about His character permeate our circumstances, correcting our skewed view of suffering or sin and sustaining us when we’re weary.
