How’s Your Heart?

Do you need to renew your covenant with the Lord to seek Him with all your heart and soul? You may need to renew your commitment to Him, if you exhibit these unhealthy spiritual "vital signs" of an unhealthy heart.

DARE

A few years ago, I kicked New Year’s resolutions to the curb. I was tired of the guilt, of never making it past January with even one resolution. Instead, each year I choose one word to focus on, with the hope that God would develop it in my life.

Keep Your Lips From Speaking Lies!

Lying is wrong and does not please God. We cannot lie and be filled with His Spirit at the same time. Jesus said, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth” (3 John 1:4).

Moving Beyond Good Intentions

“Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.” Proverbs 10:12 When I was twelve, I had a horrendous fight with both of my brothers. I was shocked at the anger and hate I identified in myself.
