“As one who loves Me, he will keep My word.” —John 14:23 Winters in the Netherlands rarely bring much snow, but it can be quite cold. When my husband, Tom, was growing up there, his parents made it a family rule: “Don’t go out on the ice until it’s thick enough to support the weight (…)

“Choose life, so that you and your seed may live.” — Deuteronomy 30:19 Nathan grew up in a Christian family, but when he became a college student, he began to drift away from his childhood faith, indulging in drinking and partying. “However, God brought me back to Himself when I didn’t deserve it,” he testified.

Do you know someone who is constantly sharing something with others? They are generous with their words, selfless with their time and generous with their money. And yet it seems that they always have something more to give. The author of the book of Proverbs, who is traditionally considered to be King Solomon, said: “The (…)

Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 12:10 are a paradox. We don’t often think of difficulties in life as a sign of strength or joy. Our culture often celebrates the physically and mentally strong, and it’s easy to exalt the successful and talented. But Paul says that God works differently among those who follow Him. Instead (…)

Our default setting is selfishness. Do not believe? Try to spend the day with the baby. Babies want what they want, and they want it now. Toddlers will fight (and sometimes bite) to maintain control over their prized possessions. Little ones are not bothered by schedules, plans or perfectly white walls. The good news about (…)

Almost every successful company or group in history had something in common: they all had a unifying mission. A mission statement is critical not only for aligning goals, but also for uniting a large group of people for a common goal. As Christians, we all have one mission. We are united in following Christ. We (…)
