The word of God is always a sobering reminder of our condition before knowing Christ.

The Gospel gives all of us hope because regardless of our background or circumstances, Jesus can transform us and shower us with His grace.

What comes into our mind when we think about God is the most important thing about us.

When our soul is distant from the presence of God, there is a tension because it just simply isn’t at home anywhere else. As Augustine said, "We are restless until we find our rest in You, God."

When we walk through difficulty, it's natural to ask questions. Faith isn't the absence of questions; it's knowing Who to ask. And Jesus is the answer to our every question.

One of the best ways we can nourish our souls is through worship. When we remember God's past faithfulness, it brings us to a place of worship – and that reignites our present faith.

When we walk through the low moments of life, we want to hide from the world. But when spiritual depression sinks in, we need to hide in God instead. That's where He will teach us things that we couldn't learn otherwise.

How you treat what you have now will impact what you have in eternity. We need to lead our hearts toward generosity as we look ahead to the coming age.

We have to decide if we are going to be rich towards ourselves or if we are going to be rich towards God. Whichever method we choose will have an enormous impact on the decisions we make with our stuff.

The way of the wise teaches us some important things: no one is too far from God's reach, and for those who want to walk in wisdom, the only way to do that is to walk in the will of God.
