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.

CloseBe honest: Does it really feel like Jesus' yoke is "easy" and His burden "light" (Matthew 11:28-30)? Some of the time, it feels quite the opposite. Even if there is plenty of hope and grace, God's plan of salvation is fraught with temptations, and difficulties. It makes it hard for us to really "be excited" about living a life filled with so many challenges. And yet, 1 John 5:3 says that true obedience is when following His commandments are "not burdensome." How are we supposed to do that? How do we get to a point where His commandments are not only "not burdensome," but a delight for us to perform? Answer: Full and total commitment to His Word.
