"Jesus binds himself to his people. No expiration date. No end of the road. Our side of the commitment will falter and stumble, but his never does. We will not grow in Christ if we view his presence and favor as a ticking clock, ready for an alarm to go off once we fail him enough. We can flourish into deeper health only as the truth settles over us that once Jesus has brought us to himself, he will never be looking for an off-ramp. He will stick by us to the end. In that knowledge we calm down and begin to flourish. One Bible scholar rightly called our growth in Christ “a strangely relaxed kind of strenuousness.”1 We strain forward, but it is a straining that is at the same time relaxed, because it has been settled in our hearts that we cannot sin our way out of the grip of Jesus."

Our most recent newsletter on Parenting Adolescents

It has now been some years since I had a teenager in the home, so it is easier to reflect on parenting adolescents.  I see with more clarity what a formative and challenging time it is for a child and how to approach it as a parent.  Based on this, I want to offer some general guidelines based on ...

Just a reminder for those of you considering a year end gift - Daymark would be grateful for your support!

As we say goodbye to 2022 our thoughts naturally move toward the New Year. Those thoughts can be hopeful or fearful and the nature of them often revolve around our connection to God’s goodness. David declared, “Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,” (Psalm 23:...

I recently read a thought-provoking article in the Boston Globe that said the biggest threat facing men as they age isn’t obesity, smoking, etc.; it’s loneliness. The article went on to say loneliness has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke and the progression o...

Martin Luther put it this way in the Small Catechism (published in 1529), his little handbook on Christian faith and life: I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him; but the Holy Spirit has called me by the Gospel, enlightened me with his gifts, sanctified and kept me in the true faith. In the same way he calls, gathers, enlightens, and sanctifies the whole Christian church on earth, and keeps it with Jesus Christ in the one true faith. In this Christian church he daily and richly forgives all my sins and the sins of all believers. On the Last Day he will raise me and all the dead and give eternal life to me and all believers in Christ.
