The right choice should be easy to make, shouldn’t it? Sometimes we know what the right choice is but we’re scared to make it because of what it will cost. But if the choice is between lying to yourself (or others), or speaking up with the truth, the truth is always the best choice. Lies lead to bondage. When you lie, you have to be prepared to walk down a steep hill and to keep adding weight to your shoulders.

Three years ago, I was listening to BRIGHT-FM when I heard one of the DJs talking about their new Walk with Jesus® text experience. I quickly texted “Easter” to 58228 because I figured, why not give it a try? Fast forward a few weeks later, I was receiving texts throughout the day, reminding me of exactly what Jesus went through to get to the cross. Sometimes they were early-morning texts, other times they were sent late at night.

Have you ever felt like a “thank you” to God comes up short of expressing your true appreciation for everything the Lord has done for you? If we look at 1 Chronicles 16, specifically verses 8-36, we find “David’s Song of Praise,” which provides a great framework we can use to show God how thankful we really are. 8 Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done. 9 Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.

I’m reminded by my wife often that I tend to paint things with broad strokes. To me, things tend to be black or white; there are no shades of grey. The truth is that many good things have happened. I’ve just been required to be willing to see the good in many situations, and it’s not an easy thing for me. My friend Jeff Stark is a terrific pastor, teacher, and writer.

We are taught from a young age that work is important. For example, kids are often asked what they want to be when they grow up, what kind of work they want to do. It’s instilled in us that work is a crucial part of life that we have to study and plan for…Yes, work is important, but so is rest. In Mark 6, the Bible tells us that after healing and teaching people in the name of Christ, “the apostles returned to Jesus from their ministry tour.” (Mark 6:30).

The book of Habakkuk. Few often read it, and even fewer know how to pronounce it (just kidding…kind of). Personally, I never really spent much time in the book of Habakkuk, but that has changed recently. As I have studied this book more, I’ve realized that, although it is brief, there are some beautiful truths to uncover. In short, Habakkuk is a prophet who sees the world around him growing more and more wicked by the day.

Overwhelming. The externals keep flooding in, don’t they? What’s the best way to survive when the nose and water line keep switching places? Maybe it starts with remembering our faith. But not some ethereal faith. Faith in something. Or better yet, faith in someone. As the uncertainty swirls, don’t forget what that Someone’s like. The One in whom we’ve placed our trust and lives.

Amidst the attacks by Hamas upon Israel and the ongoing response and conflict, how can we as Christians pray for Israel? To begin, remember that as we pray, we know that God is keenly aware of the people we’re praying for. Israel is God’s people. He’s made promises to them that have lasted for millennia. When we’re praying for Israel, we’re praying for a people close to God’s heart. “For you are a holy people, who belong to the Lord your God.

On Valentine’s Day, there’s a spotlight shining brightly and directly on the part of a single person’s brain that says, “Look at all the people who have someone to love them and do things for them. You have no one. You’re all alone. They’re special. You’re not.”Know what I mean? I used to feel incredibly wounded, intensely sad, and even angry on Valentine’s Day. It was a giant reminder that God hadn’t given me what I craved most.
