What is 'the good life?' We all want it, but how do we get it? In the book of 1 Peter, the Author of life tells us, quite simply, that the good life is the imitation of Jesus Christ. No one has ever lived a better life than He did; so the closer we follow Him, the more we experience the good life. And that life begins with the election of God, Peter's focus in the theologically packed introduction to this book.

What is the 'good life'? Everyone has some idea of what it is, and everyone is looking for it. But if we ask the Author of life, He will tell us, quite simply, that the good life is the imitation of Christ. No one has ever lived better than Jesus. No one has experienced more joy and peace and fulfillment, even alongside of rejection and suffering, than Jesus Christ. Imitate Him, and you will find the best that life has to offer.

Life is difficult and often painful. In the midst of that pain, you can either rely upon yourself to make it through, trusting in your money, strength, connections, intellect, or entertainment to make life work, or you can rely upon God in faith, trusting that He will get you through the pain. One option works and brings God's blessing into your life. The other doesn't, and brings you only His judgment.

Joshua's leadership of Israel in conquering the Promised Land reminds us of the critical principles involved in working out spiritual realities in our daily journey.

King David was an amazing leader who began with humble roots as the youngest child of a family of shepherds. As a teenager God used him to slay a giant, eventually he was anointed as King of Israel (reigned for 40 years) and he authored 73 of the Psalms. He was a powerful warrior, a passionate worshiper, and a gifted writer. Unfortunately, David also had a moral failure with a married woman named Bathsheba. David confesses his sin and experiences God's forgiveness (Psalm 32, 51) but experiences several painful consequences in his family as the result of his sin.

Sadly, there is no happy ending to the book of Jonah. Having lead what is perhaps the greatest revival in all of history, Jonah descends into anger, bitterness, and misery. So God takes his prophet to task - He exposes the error of Jonah's way. He reveals the stunning extent of Jonah's hypocrisy, foolishness, and selfishness. But before we rush to judge Jonah, we must recognize that we are really not so different from him.

The book of Jonah is really not about Jonah, nor is it about the Ninevites. It's primarily about God, about His character, and especially about His limitless grace. That grace is on full display in the third chapter as God, in grace, restores His repentant prophet and uses him to bring grace to a people of unparalleled violence. And if God's grace can lift up a man as stubborn as Jonah and reach a people as wicked as Nineveh, then it can reach and transform every one of us!

Although it is true that those who have believed in Christ are righteous in God's eyes, we still sin and as a result we need to confess in order to restore the fellowship that we have with our maker. It is important to confess quickly knowing that when we do God forgives the guilt of our sin, and he who is forgiven is blessed.

Moses is one of our heroes from the Old Testament. God used him in incredible ways to carry out his plan and purpose. However, one thing we also see about Moses is, he was an ordinary man, like you and me. He was discouraged on many occasions. We examine one such instance and learn the reasons for his discouragement and doubt. Along with the reasons, we conclude with four lessons to help us overcome discouragement and doubt.

Moses is regular person, with real struggles and limitations, just like the rest of us. He struggled with many things such as wondering how God could use him, being fearful that he could not speak well enough, and allowing his temper to get him into trouble. Yet, Moses was obedient to God and continued to pursue a deeper relationship with Him. Moses wanted to know God more and more, and he gave us a great example with his request to God, 'Show me Your glory!' (Ex. 33:18) God wants to reveal Himself to us and He is the 'rewarder of those who seek Him.' (Heb. 11:6)
