Psalm 34: Giving Our Children a Taste of God’s Goodness
When my children taste God’s goodness, they will want more of him. His goodness, not my labors or longings, will be the reason they choose to consume more of him.

If we want to encourage students in their prayer life, there is perhaps no better place for them than the Psalms.
Jesus rose from the dead, is seated on his rightful throne, and laughs at the plots and plans of the powerful.
Our ministries cannot sit on the throne of our hearts if Jesus is already sitting there.
Worship becomes the soundtrack of life as students are equipped with a pattern and a vocabulary to proclaim God’s greatness and character back to Him.
Look and see, oh Lord, what has happened to your children – those who were slain in a place that should be safe.
Praising God alone is beautiful, yet it is only a facet of the diamond that is the fully-embodied, gospel-centered community of real individuals, in real time.
Our students are invited to draw near to the throne through Christ – not when their anxieties are over, but in the midst of the worst of them.
Philippians 1:6 has always been a balm of comfort to my anxious soul when I am discouraged about the pace of my own or my students’ sanctification.
