Need or Desire?
When we read the above passage and apply it to our daily lives, we must be careful to interpret it correctly. For that to happen, we must understand the difference between "needs" and "desires."
A need is something that is essential for us to develop into who God wants us to be or to accomplish the things He calls us to do. On the other hand, a… Continue

Give Thanks - Everyday!
The Bible instructs us, “In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18) That directive might seem easy when life is going well. But if painful circumstances arise, expressing gratitude can become difficult.

Don't Give Up!
Various thoughts run through our minds every day—some good, some bad. Our natural temptation is to focus on the bad, so accepting them doesn’t take any effort. The effort comes in being determined to take a firm hold of the positive ones, while letting go of the negative.
Positive minds are full of faith and hope, and they produce positive… Continue

Burden or Blessing?
We are called to help those who are less fortunate, to serve where we see a need, to be His hands and His voice. Yes, this includes the world's poor, but I believe that it also means the poor in spirit. The richest person you know may be the most miserable as well.
