Good Grief

July 7, 2024 • Dr. Mark Batterson

Life is unfair, then we die. No one escapes pain and suffering. Such is life. We don’t believe in happily ever after. We believe in something bigger and better, longer and stronger—happily forever after. How do we make it through seasons of suffering? Months of malaise? Difficult days? There are no easy answers, but it is possible. You have to 1) forgive reality, 2) seek beauty, and 3) prophesy your praise.

Good Fight

The good life begins on Good Friday. It’s not no problems, no mistakes, no disappointments, no pain or suffering. That world doesn’t exist yet. The good life is a good fight. It’s getting back up when you get knocked down. It’s living your life for the applause of nail-scarred hands. It’s living for those words: “Well done, good and faithful servant.” It’s My Utmost for His Highest.
