When Unsung Names Change Eternities In the winter of 1938, a young British stock-broker named Nicholas Winton cancelled a ski trip, slipped quietly into Prague, and began handwriting lists. Hitler’s army was tightening its iron grip on Czechoslovakia; Jewish parents were desperate to save their children. Working from a hotel …
Living Out the New Life: Why We Must Shine Two flashlights sit on a table—same make, same design. But only one shines brightly. The other, though outwardly identical, is dead. No light, no power. What makes the difference? Connection. One is fully charged and ready. The other is drained and …
The Gospel Works—Even There We all love the idea of new beginnings—fresh starts, clean slates, second chances. But as Paul reminds us in Colossians, stepping into the new life in Christ means more than just a change in status—it demands a transformation in how we live, especially in how we …
In with the New: Living the Identity Christ Gives Us In sports, a team can redefine its entire identity. Take the 1999 St. Louis Rams, for instance. In 1998, they were one of the worst teams in the league, finishing 4–12. A year later, they went from worst to first—winning …

Released: Living Free in ChristColossians 2:16–23 In John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, there is a moving moment when the character Christian finally arrives at the cross. As he looks upon it, the burden on his back loosens, falls off, and rolls away into the empty tomb, never to be seen again. …

Not because of what we achieve, contribute, or possess—but because of who created us. In Genesis 1:26–27, …
