We can do that which God has called us to do with what He has given us in His word.

Don’t just say you “trust God”—show it in your actions today!

If your future is in God’s hands, you will have your fair share of heartaches but also more than you could ever ask for or dream about.

Have you ever had to deal with a thorn bush in your life? It started out as a seed, a seemingly tiny sin, planted in your heart. You knew it was wrong, yet, you liked it. And you allowed it to stay. Instead of confessing it to the Lord and turning from it, you ignored it, and it began to take root.

It wasn’t long after Jesus’ ascension that false teaching began in the newly established church.

Are you a cultural Christian or a biblical Christian? The true answer depends on if your life and your lips speak the good news of the gospel.

Being driven purely by our emotions is not a healthy, productive, or godly way to live.

But just as Daniel sought the Lord continuously after being taken away to Babylon, we too must seek the Lord and pray for our country.

Reading the Bible is essential to a changed life.

In your walk with the Lord, will you push through the sacrifice and pain that it sometimes takes to have abundant life?

Where are you leading those that follow you? Whether it’s your children, your co-workers, spouse, friends, significant other, family… whether you know it or not, you have someone following you. You are an influence to how they act, speak, and what path they choose. Are you leading them on the right path?

Yes, he was rich. Yes, he was wise. But his fall was one of the most epic in the entire Bible.

Do you ever stop to give God praise for what He’s brought you through? The deserts, the valleys, the extreme hardships and losses that you thought would crush you, and yet, here you are, holding blessings in your hand. What He has done for you is your testimony!

Applying biblical truth comes more easily if you’re intentional about representing Jesus and being his ambassador.

God, rich in mercy, sent His Son Jesus Christ, to take our place. On the cross, the Lord chose to take on all our sins.

God knows that we need each other, and not only that, God wants to be the very center of our families.

Every area of your life is essentially missionary work and gives you the chance to glorify the God of the universe.

God is clear in His design. He created Adam as a man with a specific body and role. He created Eve as a woman with a unique body and role to her. This was His design. Perfect. Flawless. And as mankind chose to disobey God, sin entered into the world. And we are still battling it today.

Trained professionals in any field often don’t realize their skills could be easily used as part of God’s purpose and plan.

Worship takes place when the holy penetrates the ordinary and we are left in awe of the God of the universe.

When God created music and the incredibly talented people who write and sing it, he meant for it to change people’s lives.

Because, truth be told, God is offering a place where there isn’t any trouble. And Dorothy was right, it’s far, far away, beyond the moon, beyond the rain. It’s somewhere over the rainbow, the promise from God of eternity in Heaven.

I’m sitting on my porch while I write this. As I look around, I see things that elicit a smile […]

No need to be confused in this world full of chaos: Simply ask yourself two questions.

One of the aspects of Chick-Fil-A that has always impressed me is their managers. They are always serving with the employees. In the same kind of way, Jesus offers you a spot to work right alongside Him as He seeks to save the lost.

Contrary to popular belief, God is all we need in this world of division that is stoked by people with ulterior motives.

If we have our faith and trust in Christ, He has saved us from our sins. We are no longer the same person. We are a new creation! We are clothed in His righteousness! So why do we still look like the rest of the world?

Is it really too much to ask for you to let someone else’s needs supersede your own agenda?

Jesus was the innocent sacrifice for our sins. His blood poured out on the cross to offer us forgiveness. Without the blood, there is no life.

We must remember to surround ourselves with like-minded people, who have the same beliefs and values we do. That way, you and your friends can be more like “iron striking iron” and become better through each other’s encouragement and advice!

We can’t hide from the purpose that God has placed in our lives.

Whatever you are trusting in, whether it’s your wealth, your health or yourself, none of it will lead to Heaven. There is only one, and His name is Jesus.

It doesn’t matter what you’ve done, what you’ve said, where you’ve been or who you’ve been, God forgives.

Love is a father who takes care of his family lovingly, physically, mentally, spiritually, biblically, and sacrificially.

So here we are, in the midst of one of the craziest, most chaotic scenes we’ve ever experienced. And where is the Christian? We should be found in the most unlikely of places, just like Moses – on our knees, praying.

Small groups are part of discipleship and valuable to churches, so consider the following if you’re part of one.

Return to the Lord. Forget the things of this world that tempt you and lure you from Him. We are the bride of Christ and should live holy lives, devoted to Him, and Him alone. God is faithful to forgive. Return to Him.

It will change your life and the lives of others if you’ll just obey the Great Commission: intentional discipleship.

Aren’t you hungry? Don’t you long for something to fill you? Why do we automatically turn to this world for fulfillment when our soul longs for the sweetness of God’s word? His truth brings peace and satisfies our deepest thirsts and hunger.

Our words and our actions reflect our hearts. If we profess to be believers, our words and actions will show it.

God created you, he knows you, and he hasn’t forgotten that you are his child.

Trust in His plan today. If He said no once, there’s a reason. Trust Him.

We think we need proof to believe, but God says He’ll prove our belief.

When you devote yourself to extended and focused time with God, you will see identifiable results.

Tired of trying to control everything, find your own answers, make your own way? How about just getting out of God’s way?

Although memories can be hard to face, God can use them to give us a better future. One that glorifies Him and not sin.

If not us, then who will be Jesus to “the least of these?”

Our story isn’t over. God continues to work and prepares us for a new day.

There are all kinds of scams out there, but one of the biggest lies is that humans know more than God.

Today, maybe you are running from something. You need refuge. God promises to be our refuge, our help in times of trouble, if we just trust in Him.
