Our world needs to know Jesus now more than ever.

God is making us more than conquerors in the place where we've been tasting bitter defeat and can't sense His presence.

God is not distant during our difficult times. He is close. He is near to the broken hearted.

replay your day in your head. Start from the time you woke up to this current moment. Think about what you did, thoughts, and said.

Caring about God leads to caring about others.

Psalms 42:2 My soul thirst for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?

Healthy Christians do not make peace with sin. As we grow in love for Christ, we grow to delight in holiness. Yet we live in a world of sin, and still have indwelling sin within us. So, we often discuss various holy fight and flight tactics against temptation.

Rarely is it clear at first if an interruption is a distraction or an assignment? This ambiguity pushes us to pray, " What should I do, Lord?" It pushes us to embrace humility in seeking counsel from others. And it pushes us to test our hearts. Are we being governed by our love for God and neighbor or by our selfish desires?

There are real external dangers in the world. And when we face them, we ought to seek refuge in God and cry in Him to keep us.

Defiant joy is solely based on the victory of Jesus Christ and all that He has won for us. It rests on the fact that you are completely and utterly loved and cared for.
