Messages by Desiring God

David Mathis | In this earthly life, Christians do more than wait for heaven. We belong to heaven, find our hope in heaven, and serve the King of heaven.

John Piper | God never tests his saints with ill intent. As the Father of lights, his every test aims at the full and lasting happiness of his children.

David Mathis | In Jesus, we find the complex beauty our hearts were made to behold: meekness and majesty, nearness and transcendence, the might of the Lion and the mercy of the Lamb.

David Mathis | The everyday Christian life is both a gift and a duty. By God’s own indwelling power, we work out what Christ has won.

David Mathis | The Christian life has one final aim: to know and enjoy Jesus. He justified us to know him, we daily press on to know him more, and one day we will know him fully and forever.

David Mathis | When we stop and look, we find that we know a lot more about Jesus’s spiritual disciplines than we might think. What can we learn from the prayer life of the Savior?

David Mathis | When we think of spiritual disciplines, we might immediately think of our time alone with God, but the Christian faith is a community project. We all need the body of Christ.

David Mathis | Whomever God justifies, he also sanctifies. What means has he given us to keep growing in holiness?

David Mathis | The safest soul in all the universe is the one that rejoices in the risen Christ. God will never destroy those who delight in his Son.
