When I first started preaching, someone once told me to “Preach to broken hearts, because there’s one on every pew.”
Sometimes, I think we spend too much time focusing on the head and not enough on the heart. In the end, what Christians need to remember — despite everything else — is that God is near to them.
Everything else hinges on holding fast to that idea.

CloseThe story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac is -- on the surface -- absurd. What kind of God would ask a human being to sacrifice their child, especially when later in the Bible, sacrificing your child to a "god" is one of the most heinous sins that people would ever commit? Fortunately, God stopped Abraham from going through with it, but the simple fact that Abraham was willing to do it says a lot about the depth of his faith. According to Hebrews 11, Abraham knew that God would raise Isaac back up in order to fulfill the other promise He had made to Abraham, which was to "bless all the nations" through Isaac. I wonder sometimes -- would I have had the same kind of faith in God to sacrifice my son as well?
