    I am a pastor in the NE United States. Just today I found your article on Christianity.com titled, “What is Righteousness?”. I wanted to express my gratitude for you taking the time to write that piece. I am working through the 23rd Psalm as a sermon series and I am on verse three. I was looking for some different perspective on how to explain righteousness, and your article was one of the first I found on the topic. It is so insightful and you communicate so clearly. Thank you for faithfully using your gift of knowledge and understanding to share God with the world.

    God Bless!

    1. Dear Pastor Zachary,

      Thank you so much for your encouragement and for taking the time to read the article. At the moment I’m reading this message, I could not even remember everything I have written on that article a few months ago. To God be the glory. May God abundantly bless your ministry!

    Hi, I am a pastor in Ontario, Canada, looking for perspectives on the idea of questioning God as Job did. I read your article, “Is it Wrong to Question God?” on christianity.com. Thanks for writing that article. It’s clearly written and well-reasoned with scripture to back it up. You have helped me and given me inspiration.

    1. Hi Pastor Gabriel Jantzi, thank you for reading the article and for sharing your positive thoughts here. I am encouraged by your kind words. May God bless your ministry from the abundance of His grace!
