Faith, Family, and the Beauty of Everyday Life
God’s promises are so good! Not only does he promise to bless you personally when you give generously, but he also promises to bless your work and your business. Proverbs 3:9-10 says, “Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the first and best part of all your income. Then your barns will be full, and... Continue Reading →
When you give from a heart for Jesus, your goal isn’t to get a blessing. But the truth is that God will bless you. You can’t out-give God. When you learn to be generous like God is generous, he promises that you will end up with more. This is God’s economy. Sometimes it seems like... Continue Reading →
Requirement 2: Extend compassion to the person who wounded you. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, “Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.” Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. . . . Should you not also have had... Continue Reading →
We may know we need to forgive. We may choose it too. And mean it. But we have to do it God’s way to be sure He has accepted our act of forgiveness and then canceled the assigned torment. What must we do? What steps does God require? When I first saw this, I returned... Continue Reading →
Let’s turn to one of the most familiar passages in the entire Bible to help us understand more fully.

This life is preparation for eternity—but what does that mean in practical terms? How do you use your life here to prepare for eternity? First, you get to... Continue Reading →
God is far more interested in changing your mind than in changing your circumstances. Most people long for God to take away all problems, pain, sorrow, suffering, sickness, and sadness. But God wants to work on you first, because transformation won’t happen in your life until you renew your mind—until your thoughts begin to change. Why is... Continue Reading →

God’s goal has always been to make you like himself. He wants you to become like his Son. In other words, he wants you to grow up spiritually. The Bible says, “From the very beginning God decided that those who came to him—and all along he knew who would—should become like his Son” (Romans 8:29 TLB). As... Continue Reading →
If you want to be wise, learn how to ask wise questions. Proverbs 20:5 says, “People’s thoughts can be like a deep well, but someone with understanding can find the wisdom there” (NCV). In other words, everybody has something to teach you. Just like it’s worth the effort to draw water from a deep well, it’s worth... Continue Reading →
