5 ways to make our spirits bright, no matter what
God commands us not to give into our fear and reminds us that he will never fail us.
Giving God the opportunity to show how much he cares
If we want to be bold and courageous and conquer cowardice, we first need to learn to call it what it is.
The idea of control gives us the illusion that we can prevent, manage, and will our lives towards certain outcomes.
God wants us to evaluate ourselves by how deep and strong our faith is. He doesn’t evaluate our spiritual condition by looking at how we appear on the surface. The depth of our faith determines how much of a difference we can make in the lives of those around us.
Jesus' life was a powerful example and inspiring blueprint that guides us in living a life of faith that changes the world.
Believing in the “Spirituality of Jesus” means believing he is intimately guiding our lives. Spirituality becomes a way of life.
The best and truest measure of intimacy with God is when we see him move in answer to a prayer.
Jesus was sent by God to be the chief persuader. He was on a mission to convince, and in John 11:32-44 he is faced with grief, one of the most traumatic afflictions of faith any human being can experience. The sisters of Lazarus had watched their brother die when Jesus failed to arrive, and were plunged into deep grief accompanied by doubt. This grieving doubt had an emotional effect on Jesus as Scripture says he was “deeply moved” (John 11:33,38).
