Have you been tempted to place your hope in a person? You’re not alone—but Psalm 62 tells us that our hope should rest in God alone. Our hope as a nation will never be found in a president, in a curriculum, in a pastor or even a parent. Our hope should rest in God and in His Word. This view will not make you popular—but it will bring your peace. Take heart! God has overcome the world!

The Christian Atheist: Believing in God but Living As If He Doesn’t Exist Craig Groeschel
“The more I looked, the more I found Christian Atheists everywhere.” Former Christian Atheist Craig Groeschel knows his subject all too well. After over a decade of successful ministry, he had to make a painful self admission: although he believed in God, he was leading his church like God didn’t exist. To Christians and non-Christians alike, to the churched and the unchurched, the journey leading up to Groeschel’s admission and the journey that follows—from his family and his upbringing to the lackluster and even diametrically opposed expressions of faith he encountered—will look and sound like the story of their own lives.
