Too often, our eyes are fixed on our circumstances and not on Jesus. As a result, our relationship with Jesus can be based on what He can do for me, rather than focusing on building an intimate relationship with Him simply because of who He is.

Your decisions and actions are what determine your ultimate destination. If you obey God, you’ll find yourself where you are supposed to be. Sin and complacency will always lead you away from the plan God has for your life.

So many people are constantly stressed out, rushed, in financial trouble, and have no peace in their life. The answer to all of these issues is found in one word – margin.

A lack of gratitude reveals a person who feels entitled. A lack of gratitude towards God reveals a person who doesn’t truly understand what He has done for them. When you understand God’s grace and what that means for you, it will naturally show up in your level of gratitude.

News flash: men and women are different! If we know this to be true, then why do we expect our spouse to think the way we think and act the way we act? How are we going to have a healthy marriage if we don’t understand the needs and love languages of our spouse? To move towards your “happily ever after”, you need to learn how to understand your spouse.

There is something inside of everyone that cries out for more. We were created to do more than just survive. We were created with a purpose and we all have a significant role to play in this life. Finding true significance begins with surrendering all to Jesus and following Him no matter the cost.

Why are we here? What is the purpose for my life? The answer will shape the course of your life.

Most Christians want to be used by God, but don’t believe they’re smart enough, gifted enough, or qualified. But that’s not true. God can use you, but He has to prepare you for what He has for you. What does it look like to live a life of faith, trusting and obeying God even when it doesn’t make sense?

Often times, the Holy Spirit will tell us to do something that doesn’t seem to make sense. This is why the Christian life is a life of faith. We don’t have the ability to understand God’s ways or His full perspective. We have to trust Him and obey Him, knowing He is in control of everything and His plan is best.

In most American churches, Christians are seen as good people with good intentions, who attend church and like God. Through the years, Christians have lowered the bar of what it means to be a Christian. What we see as radical today, used to just be called a follower of Jesus. Rather than defining a “follower of Jesus” by cultural standards, we should define it by biblical standards. So how does the Bible define following Jesus?

It is easy to get comfortable in what God did, and to stop pursuing Him for what He wants to do. Apathy and complacency is one of the enemy’s strategies to sideline followers of Jesus from fulfilling their calling. How do we push through this and keep pursuing Jesus to new levels?

What is suffering and where does it come from? Who is responsible and who can help? How should we respond to the pain? Having a healthy perspective of pain and suffering is difficult when you’re experiencing it. You can either run from God or you can run to God.

Betrayal. Abuse. Gossip. Abandonment. As a result, we can experience pain, resentment, bitterness, and forgiveness. One of the primary sources of pain in our lives comes at the hand of other people. So what do we do with that pain and what is God’s involvement in all of it?

Real and lasting change doesn’t start by changing the outward behaviors and appearances, it starts on the inside. But we can’t change our hearts and inward flawed desires. That is a work that only the Holy Spirit can do.

We don’t have a problem making changes in our lives. We have a problem keeping the change. Success does not happen by accident and hope is not a strategy. So, what does it take to keep the changes we’ve put in place?

You can make changes in your life on your own, but you won’t be able to keep the changes and reach your full potential without the help of others in your life.
