God routinely uses the very things aimed at stopping His work to move it forward instead.
- [The Socialist Who Changed His Mind: What Max Eastman Learned the Hard Way](https://www.krlabby.com/the-socialist-who-changed-his-mind-what-max-eastman-learned-the-hard-way.md) - Eastman was not guessing what concentrated power does to a country. He watched it happen in real time.
- [Friendship in the Wake of Failure](https://www.krlabby.com/friendship-in-the-wake-of-failure.md) - You don't need isolation. You need a friend. You need a Barnabas, someone who walks with you before you have it together, who reminds you that God does not define you by your worst chapter.
- [The Identity That Powers Lasting Habits](https://www.krlabby.com/the-identity-that-powers-lasting-habits.md) - Your habits flow from your identity, what you believe about who you are. Change your identity, and your desires and behaviors tend to follow.
- [Second Chances Take Time](https://www.krlabby.com/second-chances-take-time.md) - John Mark quit the mission, deserted Paul and Barnabas, and earned a reputation as untrustworthy. Paul didn’t want to give him another chance. Barnabas felt differently. The two continued in ministry together, just in a different direction. That was around AD 47. More than a decade later, writing t…
- [“Why Religion Is Not the Problem” - A Sermon from Acts 7:38-60](https://www.krlabby.com/s-why-religion-is-not-the-problem.md) - Text: Acts 7:38-60 (ESV) Have you ever felt the sting of being called "religious" derisively in a conversation, as if that one word explained why you're so narrow-minded, judgmental, bigoted, or maybe even dangerous? Many of us have. One of the sharpest criticisms of people of faith today is that r…
- [How to Pray for Your Leaders (Even the Ones You Don't Like)](https://www.krlabby.com/how-to-pray-for-your-leaders-even-the-ones-you-dont-like.md) - Most of us will admit, if we’re honest, that we pray more naturally for leaders we respect. When someone we distrust holds power, prayer can feel less like obedience and more like defeat. But Scripture doesn’t give us the option of praying only for leaders we approve of. And the reasons it gives ar…
- [What Jesus Really Said about Caesar](https://www.krlabby.com/what-jesus-really-said-about-caesar.md) - 15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in his words. 16 And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone's opinion, for you are not swayed by appearan…

Might Be the Most Timely Book You Haven't Read](https://www.krlabby.com/no-place-to-hide-why-how-should-we-then-live-might-be-the-most-timely-book-you-havent-read.md) - There's probably a small black camera on a pole somewhere near you. You might have walked or driven past a dozen of them this week without noticing.

A Case for Expository, Law-Gospel Preaching](https://www.krlabby.com/what-kind-of-preaching-shapes-a-church-a-case-for-expository-law-gospel-preaching.md) - You can tell a lot about a church by listening to a few of its sermons. Some churches preach as if every sermon has to close the deal on conversion. The message always circles back to "make a decision," "say the prayer," or "come forward."
