The Power of Joy
Build up others, don't tear them down. Follow the example of Christ. Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door! - James 5:9 (NIV)
Tough Decisions. Hard Choices.
Take a breath before that next critical decision and ask God to fill you with His spirit and wisdom to make the best choice. The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. - Psalm 116:5 (NIV)
4 Ways To Avoid Temptation Traps
Temptation isn't the problem - giving in to temptation is the sin. Acting upon temptation's lure is the trap crafted by evil and executed by the wicked. No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. – 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV)
Risky Faith
We need a dose of adrenaline to course through our veins when we stray from God. So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul– men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. - Acts 15:25-26 (NIV)
Time Management
Don't be fooled into thinking "we make time". God makes the time! We just live in it - and decide how we'll spend it. As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease. - Genesis 8:22 (NIV)
Balancing Faith and Work
Pursue your career with passion, but balance your life with equal pursuit for the truth in Christ. In the end, it's Jesus that holds the key - not the industry. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. - 2 Timothy 2:15 (NIV)
Encourage others Daily
Jesus taught us the power of coming together. The proverbs remind us that iron sharpens iron. God designed us to live connected - not solo. Knowing all of this should give us reason to reach out and build up those around us. Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. - Hebrews 3:13
WWJD - What Would Jesus Do?
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” - Jesus Christ (Luke 4:18-19 NIV)
Striving For Christian Maturity
How we respond to offenses says more about our Christian disposition than the endless amount of bible verses we can quote. A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense. - Proverbs 19:11 (NIV)
God Understands Doubt
Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit. - Psalm 147:5 (NIV)
The Faith Priority
Think about the time and the quality of time you give to God on a daily basis and compare that to the call to sacrifice our lives like Christ sacrificed for us. Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God. - 2 Corinthians 7:1 (NIV)
