> July 16 marks twenty years since John F. Kennedy, Jr.’s single-engine Piper Saratoga crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, killing him, his wife, and his sister-in-law. The investigation determined that the cause was “spatial disorientation,” which happens when a pilot flies into darkness or dangerous weather. Jon Bloom sees a spiritual reality in the tragedy, having experienced his own dark night of the soul some twenty years ago. Reflecting on God’s word and his experience, he teaches us to fly by the instruments when our worst storms come.

> Is Don’t Waste Your Life really a good title for John Piper’s bestselling book? That was David’s question in today’s episode of Ask Pastor John, based on Galatians 2:20. John loved the question, and explains how it is that we no longer live, but Christ lives in us.

> The word “jealousy” may bring to mind abusive spouses and insecure friends. So, what are we to think when we read, “The Lord is a jealous God”?

> Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. 
> –Philippians 2:12–13
> Many Christians, when asked what the motive is for obedience, will say gratitude. But that is not what Paul emphasizes when he talks about motive and power for our working. He focuses on faith in what God is yet to do, not just what he has done. . . .
