If we don't have a biblical view of Jesus, we can become consumed with our personal preferences and traditions, and resistant to change.
The church of the Bible was dynamic, powerful, and life-changing. So why has church attendance today been declining?
When we get our happiness from God, we want to share that happiness with others.
We are not meant to carry our fears, guilt, insecurities, or anxieties alone.
When we have the certainty that God loves us completely for who we are, we can be satisfied no matter what.
God notices what we go through, even if no one else does, and he wants to do something about our pain.
The way we live and conduct ourselves will greatly influence others' view of seeking out God and a spiritual community.
God wants us to both have our own happy and satisfying life and to help others have an opportunity for that life, too.
God wants to give us the help we need, but we have to be willing to be vulnerable enough to ask him for it.
We'll be vulnerable with God when we believe he loves us, is interested in us, and has a plan for us.
The holidays are a time to celebrate hope, and there's nothing greater than the hope God brings with the birth of Jesus.
