Delight in the Lord
Delighting in what the world offers will only temporarily satisfy you and will sicken your heart even more. But if you delight in the Lord, your desires will change and you will know satisfaction because of Him.
Responsible Strength in Challenging Times
Our goal is that the Lord will strengthen our convictions surrounding the truth of Jesus Christ, so that we place Him first and work on behalf of others so they may know Him. This is not always easy, but it is responsible and just.
Do Good Anyway
No thing and nobody can keep us from being what God wants us to be. This poem from an unknown author will inspire you to live—giving it all you have.
An Encourager That Motivates
Encouragement gives us and others the courage to run the race with endurance.
Peace & Stability in Christ
Has your confidence in God been shaken by this election? Or, for that matter, by any circumstance in our world this past year? If so, take a look at what you truly believe about God’s character and what He says about how we can have peace and stability of mind even in the context of external circumstances beyond our control.
Why Salt and Light Make a Difference
Have you ever been in the dark with no light to guide your way? We often don’t realize the incredible importance of something until we don’t have it—like salt and light. In your walk with God, these two things can make all the difference in the world.
Basic Needs of a Christian
Acceptance and affirmation are two of the most basic needs we all have. Those who are accepted and affirmed will voluntarily be accountable to authority figures.
How to Make This Year Matter
Do you want to make this year matter? The product of your life will be significant throughout eternity when you abide in Christ and produce fruit that will last.
Expectation & Anticipation
Christmas morning is a time to remember the arrival of Jesus Christ. His birth as a baby—and later death and resurrection—opened up the way for us to experience the security and protection that come with being born of God.
You Can Find Grace and Mercy
When we acknowledge our need, we can be confident that we will find mercy (not receiving the judgment we deserve) and grace (receiving what we don’t deserve) to help us in our time of need.
Qualities of a Good Christian Leader
Christian leaders are not supposed to rely on their position as the basis for their leadership. Good, Christian leadership is not position based; it is character based.
A Radical Transformation
If you believe that you are part saint and part sinner, you will live in a very mediocre manner with little to distinguish you from the non-Christian, but when we believe that Jesus is the core of our being, the Holy Spirit will help us to radically live like Him.
Security in Power, Love, and a Sound Mind
Fear is a protective mechanism God built within us to help provide for our safety and well-being. The problem with fear comes when we let it control our lives. God intended us to live a life of freedom that is secure in Him.
Why Jesus Was Born
What Adam and Eve lost in the Fall was eternal life, and that is what Jesus came to restore. He did not come to give us a life with material blessings. Rather, He came to give us a fulfilling life with spiritual blessings.
Praying with Authority
Every believer has the spiritual authority to do God’s will and carry on the ministry of Christ; we do this through prayer. Praying with authority is not expressing our will to God but discerning God’s will and claiming the answer with confidence.
Our Security Comes from being a Citizen of Heaven
Citizenship in heaven is both our present and future reality. No matter what happens here on earth, our eternity is secure because of Christ. So while we wait for the Lord Jesus to return (or our going to Him), may we continue to learn and grow in our faith and steward well all that He has entrusted to us.
Seeking God's Face
Have you ever looked for a sign from God to help you make a decision about something? Gideon did the same thing in Judges 6. Sometimes it’s easy to question the integrity of God; this is why we must choose to trust Him fully while seeking His will daily.
You Can Be Confident in Christ
As you have an attitude like Jesus Christ and work out your salvation by following God’s initiation, you can be certain—absolutely confident and full of conviction—that God will complete that which He started in you.
