Jesus promised that a consistent, constant, and steady joy can be ours. And fortunately, he also tells us how.

The Holy Spirit was given to us not so we could be more spiritual, but to produce selfless maturity.

When the church first began, a natural question surfaced right away: What shall we do? The answer had to do more with understanding who your faith was in more than what needed to be done.

While the Greek word “ekklesia” is mistranslated as “church” in many Bibles, the word means “group” or “gathering.” Christianity has always been a movement, with local groups of people living out the same approach and posture of Jesus

The goal of a follower of Jesus should be to allow our hearts to break for thethings that break God’s heart. When you are faced with another person in a tough situation or in desperate need, how does your heart respond?

There is a very real battle between what we want now and what we want most,

and we have a choice to make—will our hearts be set on NOW or LATER?

One way to test the spiritual condition of your heart is to listen to the words

you say. In Matthew 15:10–20, Jesus teaches that the words we say reveal what’s in our

hearts. Monitoring the nature of your words can help you monitor the condition of your

heart. When it comes to your heart, do you hear yourself?

In all its subtle forms, greed has the potential to rob your life. But the secret to living a meaning-filled life is found across the border from what’s in it for me.
