It’s About How We Respond
Living the abundant Christian life isn’t about what happens to us. It’s about how we respond to what happens to us. . .
Perseverance
Freedom Isn’t Free
Trouble ultimately produces hope. Suffering leads to greater character. Disaster leads to maturity. Attacks from Satan lead to strength. Why? Because freedom isn’t free. . .
Goals
Ah, goals. We have a love-hate relationship with them, don’t we? They seem so doable. . .at first. Then reality kicks in. Did you ever stop to think about why we so often don’t meet our goals?
When Our Faith Is Tested
The process of growing in holiness often hurts. God tells us to rejoice when we fall into various trials, because when our faith is tested, we learn patience (endurance) and grow in maturity. . .
Count It All Joy
What kind of reaction do you have during tragedy? Do you blame God? Turn to sin? Or hold fast to the truth, despite the pain?
A Work in Progress
God is not finished defining who you are. You are a work in progress. Like a child asking, “Are we there yet?” at each new mile, trying to rush the journey is futile. . .
While We Wait
It’s easy to depend on God when all is well, but hard times may cause us to doubt Him. However, if you cling to God’s promises, you will experience tremendous growth. . .
Thank You for My Troubles
So often in life, we look for ways to avoid troubles of any kind. But what would happen if we saw troubles as an opportunity for growth, rather than a roadblock?
Walk in Your Calling
Whether you’re called to be a firefighter or a teacher or a stay-at-home mom, you are important. Your life means something. God called you to fulfill that special role. . .
No More Tears
This world is sadly full of sorrow and disappointment. But God doesn’t allow our pain to be purposeless. It drives us to a closer, more dependent relationship with Him. . .
