Among the surprising developments of 2021: “My body, my choice” has become a rallying cry of both the left and the right, for different reasons. Though the gulf seems wide in divided America, one idol—unhindered autonomy—tempts all tribes.

Though unplanned, Carrie Underwood’s elegant pivot to a cappella turned out to be the perfect symbol of what makes America great: choosing empowerment over victimhood; turning adversity into opportunity; singing in unity in spite of the glitches.

We’ve utterly failed our children when: They can be brutally killed in the womb because enough adults clamor for abortion rights. They can be brutally killed in the classroom because enough adults clamor for gun rights. A child’s life is more precious than our rights.

My only hot take on #HeGetsUs is that if God uses it to bring even one sinner to repentance and faith in Christ, then there will be rejoicing in heaven more thunderous than anything heard in the #SuperBowl stadium today (Luke 15:7).

World: follow your heart Jesus: follow me (Matt. 4:19) World: you do you Jesus: deny yourself (Matt. 16:24) World: live your best life Jesus: lose your life to find it (Matt. 16:25)

The word "evangelical" no longer has anything to do with faithfully following Jesus Christ and advancing his kingdom.

When I’m at church, I’m part of the one institution in this world that won’t eventually collapse. I’m looking around at people—of every color and background—who will be my tribe eternally. I’m doing the thing—worshiping God—I’ll be doing forever.

Drink Coffee. Taste chocolate. Watch hummingbirds. Listen to Bach. Nap on a hammock. Laugh. Don’t tell me there’s not a gratuitously loving God. A random universe can’t explain why the world is far more beautiful than it needs to be.

It should be so easy to denounce the evil of white supremacy. It should be so easy to denounce the evil of killing unborn babies. Yet we don’t have a presidential candidate willing to denounce both. Lord help us.

“A Christian who has David in his bones, Jeremiah in his bloodstream, Paul in his fingertips and Christ in his heart will know how much and how little value to put on his own momentary feelings and the experience of the past week.” —Eugene Peterson

Don’t skip the 4th verse of “Hark!” Come, Desire of nations, come, Fix in us Thy humble home; Rise, the woman’s conqu’ring Seed, Bruise in us the serpent’s head. Adam’s likeness, now efface, Stamp Thine image in its place: Second Adam from above, Reinstate us in Thy love.
