Love... it’s a word that’s thrown around in society in countless instances and situations. There’s so many kinds of love, and it’s an institution created by and endorsed by God Himself. How do we love? What does holy love... the kind of love that God created... look like?

Loyalty... maybe what immediately comes to mind is a dog who has unending devotion to its master. Or maybe it’s the football player who proudly wears his team’s colors, both on and off the field.

If we want to be successful in life, what does that take? What kind of sacrifices do we need to make in our lives? What behaviors, or habits, do I need to focus on to be successful this year? It sounds hard. But success is on the other side of the hard stuff... are you in?

New year, new you... right? The truth is, our words matter. We need to learn how to speak, when to speak... and also when NOT to speak and keep our mouths shut.

How can we make this year the year we use our speech for GOOD, to propel us into the future God has for us?

Is your New Years resolution to get back into shape? Maybe it’s to get healthy by only eating healthy foods.

How do we treat our bodies as temples? How can we use our bodies and minds to glorify God... the way God intended us to use them?

Are you starting the new year worried about money? Do you find yourself unable to stop thinking about money? The Bible talks a lot about money... there’s no avoiding it in this life.

We have all sinned... we are all guilty... and the penalty for this is ultimately death. Yet God showed compassion on us by sending a gift for us in that first Christmas several thousand years ago. God showed us LOVE, not judgment. And that truly is the best Christmas gift we can receive this Christmas!

Now more than ever, our world needs compassion. During the Christmas season, it’s easy to be compassionate, isn’t it?
