The only thing from this life that you will take with you into eternity is your character. It's plain and simple.

This is your character.

Jesus said no one comes to the Father except through him. But in our inclusive world, such an exclusive claim isn't popular. Believers today face persistent pressure to abandon this belief, which the world sees as antiquated at best and hateful at worst. What we need is godly encouragement to stay the course and courage to share the gospel compassionately with those around us.

The book of James has for centuries caused problems for the church hierarchy. Some felt it took away from the teaching of salvation by faith alone; Martin Luther disliked this little book so much that in his original translation, he took it out of the rest of the New Testament and put it in an appendix in the back! There is controversy about which of the three James in the Bible wrote this letter: whether James was trying to tone down Paul’s message, whether or not it was written only to the Jews and not to the budding church; whether it was too practical to be of any spiritual import as ...

In Job 12"7-10 we are instructed to look to the beasts and learn from them. During my time living in Yellowstone National Park I had the opportunity to see and observe the way animals live and interact in the park.

Read along and think about how each creature was given specific characteristics to live and thrive in a wild and broken world. Perhaps it will encourage you in your faith. God bless.

In these seven devotional readings, Shirley Corder encourages you to look for God in the Unexpected.

(John 16:33) Some storms appear suddenly, darkening skies that were clear only moments before. Others build slowly on the horizon, giving us time to prepare but not to escape. Some rage for a day; others linger for years. Some affect our circumstances—health, finances, relationships. Others assault our souls—doubt, fear, despair. But all of them test what we truly believe about God and ourselves. You're reading this book because you're ...

From award-winning Christian fiction author Laurie Larsen comes something a little different ... A life-long Christian, I've read the Bible several times. But this time was different. My goal wasn't to just journey from cover to cover and consider it done. You know, cross it off my list and move on. I wanted to actually learn something that would impact my life. So for a year, I read my chronological Bible. And when something confused me or interested me or I wanted to learn more, I jotted it down. During Year 2, I went back and did just that -- I researched, asked questions, strived to ...
