Renewing Our Minds
Why do believers still struggle with old thoughts, habits, and patterns after becoming new creations in Christ? Scripture teaches that lasting transformation comes as we renew our minds with God's truth, replacing the old ways of thinking with the life and freedom found in Christ. Discover why renewing your mind is essential to spiritual growth and how God transforms us from the inside out.
Defining Failure
Failure is taking the path of least resistance. Success is taking the road less traveled, but it’s the only one that leads to success.
God is Faithful
It is hard to relate to people you can’t trust or count on when needed, but you can count on God because He is eternally consistent and faithful.
Choose the Truth
We are not called to dispel the darkness. We are called to turn on the light. You win the battle for your mind by choosing the truth.
Take Every Thought Captive
Regardless of where a thought originates, examine it in the light of God's Word and choose the truth.
Tearing Down Mental Strongholds (Repost)

Philippians tells us that we can do all things through Christ. But what exactly does “all things” pertain to? Let’s take a look.

Stronghold Buster for Fighting Anxiety
A stronghold buster is a daily prayer practice that creates an intentional choosing and declaration of what God says is true. Anxious thoughts are to be expected during the current global health crisis. But we are told to take our thoughts captive and break down the mental habits that contribute to, or perpetuate, anxiety.

The Divine Prerequisite
The one essential prerequisite to knowing God's will is for our will to be in line with His even before we know what His will is.
The Ministry of Reconciliation
