Do you want to learn the way of human flourishing? The path to the fullest pleasure and satisfaction that life can offer? Then consider the wisdom literature of the Bible.

The key to fighting anxiety.

Perhaps you’ve missed a few days or even months in your bible reading plan for the new year. If that’s you, here are three thoughts to help and encourage you to get back up and continue the pursuit of reading God’s Word.

You have not out sinned His love. The Lord loves us where we are, but He also loves us too much to keep us there.

What encouragement can we hold onto when silence from God enters our lives? When God Feels far, is there hope?

God, Help me in the blessing and the curse of slowness.

In God, we do not have a King so lofty and above our difficulties that He sweeps away our tears with disdain. No, we have a King who has descended into the pain with us. You do not cry alone.

Sin looks enticing because, at the core, sinful action is always a symptom of sinful beliefs.

Sin thrives in darkness. Sin shrivels in the light.

A song for the weary soul who is downtrodden by their sin. Look up, Christian. For there is far more mercy in God than there is sin in you.

He is strong. Able. Creative. On time. Perfect. Powerful. Sustaining. Refreshing. Purposeful in all seasons. The darkness has just as much purpose as the light.

Tiredness is a symptom of a deeper reality; so it is with our spiritual fatigue. There is a distinction to be made between being tired from time to time and staying tired. That is when you need to take a more serious look, what are the symptoms revealing?

Having unmet desires is not a unique experience for some Christians, we all experience it. But each experience of it is unique. Here are a few thoughts to help guide us when this is our season.

You can learn from anyone if you are willing to listen (or read).

As you look back on 2019, you might find that what fills you is regret over your sins and mistakes. Here are six anchors that will hold you amidst the waves of regret.

Christmas time is one that is often joyful. Cozy. Filled with family, laughter, and comforts. For some, though, the holidays are quite painful. Where do we go for hope when the holiday tears fall?

The spiritual disciplines are not an end in themselves, but a means to know God better. I imagine God sitting in a coffee shop, off in the corner. I look over and I see two coffees. One’s for me and it’s still steaming. Will I go sit? Or will I look back down at my Netflix episode?

Do you want to read the Bible more meaningfully? Do you want the scriptures to shape the way you think, feel, and believe? Do you want to bridge the gap between what the head knows and what the heart feels and worships? If so, the key is meditation.

You can be still because HE is God.
