“No one can ever be so good that they do not require a Savior or so bad as to be beyond the saving bounds of Jesus.”
— Alistair Begg

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

Dear Friend,

Did you know that Denmark currently holds the title of second-happiest country on the planet? While one in six American museums risk permanent closure due to financial stress compounded by COVID-19, the Happiness Research Institute recently opened the Happiness Museum in Copenhagen. As someone who is not constitutionally attracted to museums, I find it intriguing that there is now a museum which, according to the creators, “can bring happiness to life.” It is certainly a timely venture if we are to accept the current statistics on anxiety and depression. The quest for happiness is a global phenomenon. It is also present at every age and stage of life.

In Hebrews, the writer reminds Christians to “run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfector of our faith.” In the Bible, we can find many stories of those who have stayed the course during difficult times. In this selection of sermons, Alistair Begg encourages us with the reminder that when hard times come, we are to keep on and rest in the promises of God.

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!

Our Creator designed every aspect of our being, including all of the emotions, thoughts, and desires whose origins we attribute to the human heart. So what does God have to say about our hearts? And what can we learn from all that the Bible teaches about how the heart directs our actions, attitudes, and motives?
