Living With Purpose and Passion
Have you noticed that some Christians are never happy or satisfied? They always have a long face, and they’re constantly talking about their problems and circumstances. They have a lifeless, lukewarm, apathetic and pathetic attitude. The world may have this type of attitude, but we as Christians shouldn’t because the only way we’re going to …

Loving Like Jesus: Put On Love
“Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony” (Col. 3:14, NLT). Love is the highest level of spiritual warfare. We are to “wear” it like a garment or armor.

Your No. 1 Key to Perfect Peace

Are You Wearing Your Armor?
When I read the Bible, I am always fascinated by how many times the Lord tells us to “put on” or “put off” different things. Ephesians 6 is a perfect example—and it’s one of the most well-known passages in the New Testament. Ephesians 6:11 (AMPC) tells us to “Put on God’s whole armor [the armor …

Breaking Up With Worry
Worrying is a natural response in many situations, and I’ve wasted many days getting caught up in it. I thought that was a normal way to live. But through the years, God has helped me end my relationship with worry. And He did it with the help of my husband, Dave. Every time I have …

The Fruitful Versus the Frustrated Life
In John 15:16 (NIV) Jesus says, “I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last.” In fact, the Bible has a lot to say about how Christians bear fruit—and there are two ways that we can do it. One is by displaying the fruit of the Spirit—love, …

Bearing Fruit When Hard Times Come
The Bible talks about bearing good fruit and how that is God’s purpose for our lives. For example, in John 15:5 (AMP), Jesus says, “I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from …

Joyce Meyer: 8 Ways to Avoid Wasting Your Time
Imagine we’re at a graveyard. You look at a tombstone and see the person’s name, the date they were born and when they died. In between the dates, there is a dash.
