God tells us that He wants us to fix His Word in our hearts. You might ask, “How in the world do we do that?”

Picture this: a young man walks down a dark street and is confronted by a large, hostile stranger who bars his path.

Life doesn't always feel victorious. There are seasons when the battle seems long, the answers are delayed, and our circumstances appear to tell a different story.

I have read the story of Cain and Abel many times. Recently I have seen something new in that verse.

As I was reading some of our devotionals from the last couple of years, I came across this one. I felt it was so appropriate to reprint.

You may not realize it, but hospitality matters deeply to the Lord.

On this day we celebrate national freedom—flags waving, fireworks bursting bright. But true liberty begins in a heart that knows the Lord.

I recently saw a powerful illustration of why we need to stay continually filled with the Holy Spirit.

Several weeks ago, my pastor preached a message titled, "See It, Speak It." That message stirred something deep within me and challenged me to pursue the vision God has placed in my heart.

Many things happen because we, as believers, permit them to happen by not using the authority given to us in Jesus' name.

I learned to drive a stick-shift in Driver’s Ed class. Oh, the shuddering and sputtering that occurred when I missed the timing while shifting gears.

As I walk out my faith in this chaotic world, I have seen and experienced things that have changed me forever.

I recently heard a statement that really impacted me: "You have to do your way out of doubt."

It is easy to focus on our problems and overlook the many blessings God provides each day.

I often teach about the Holy Spirit and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Recently, however, I have been getting to know the Holy Spirit in a much deeper and more personal way.

I recently attended a Joyce Meyer women’s conference, and one verse that has stayed with me is Isaiah 45:3.

Many people search for confidence in their abilities, finances, relationships, or accomplishments.
