Bring Out the Best
Scripture “…love is kind…” (1 Corinthians 13:4, NIV) Word One translation of today’s simple verse says that “love looks for a way to be constructive.” In other words, love looks for ways to improve someone else’s life.

Characteristics of Love
Scripture “Now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13, NIV) Word Spiritual maturity isn’t measured by how long you’ve been a Christian, how much you know, or how often you go to church.

Pursue Loyalty
Scripture “He who pursues righteousness and loyalty finds life…” (Proverbs 21:21, NASB) Word Have you ever noticed that righteousness and loyalty go together? In other words, if we’re not being loyal — to our family, friends, country, job — then we aren’t going to experience God’s best. Loyal people are honorable people. When you’re loyal, […]
You are Equipped

Growing Your Faith
Scripture “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17, NKJV) Word Do you desire to have more faith? Scripture tells us that faith can grow and increase.

Run Your Race

When All Is Said And Done
Scripture “And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.” (Hebrews 9:27, NKJV) Word So many people live life worried about what everyone else thinks and wondering how they can impress other people. But we have to realize that when we come to the end of life, we’re not […]
No Regrets
Scripture “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” (Galatians 1:10, NIV) Word I read a report from a nurse who takes care of people who […]
Free From People Pleasing
Scripture “Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the LORD means safety.” (Proverbs 29:25, NLT) Word In life, there will always be people who try to squeeze you into their mold; people who try to pressure you into being who they want you to be. They may be good people. They may mean well. […]
