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.
When we have the certainty that God loves us completely for who we are, we can be satisfied no matter what.
God is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured or feared.
God commands us not to give into our fear and reminds us that he will never fail us.
Happiness starts with a choice: where (or to whom) will we turn to find it?
We have a God who always keeps his promises, and we can find those promises in the Bible.
Relying on an unchangeable God will help us stay steady and happy no matter what happens in our lives.
We can open our hearts up to him by listening, talking, turning, and committing to being close to him.
God wants us to both have our own happy and satisfying life and to help others have an opportunity for that life, too.
We all experience feeling stuck at times, whether it be in hardships, relationship conflicts, failures that follow us wherever we go, or guilt that feels too big for us to carry on our own.
When we love vulnerability, we will open our hearts to God and others.
