In these devotionals, Texas pastor “JP” Pokluda leads us in looking at some of the modern-day vices that we find ourselves giving into (even when we know deep down that we shouldn’t). The goal is not to make us feel guilty. It is to help us see where we may have given the enemy (Satan) a foothold in our lives and, by looking to God’s Word, to pursue the life-giving virtues that Jesus has called us to.

None of us will go through this life without facing battles. The death of Jesus Christ and His resurrection mean that we can share in His victory and be conquerors and overcomers. He never promised us that we would not suffer, in fact, He warned us that we would have many troubles in this world. Our strategies for facing these problems are outlined for us in the Bible.

When we have a true encounter with Jesus, our life is never the same again. Our whole being is transformed into something new, something inexplicable. Every old thought, practice, and everything passes away, and now all things are made new. "Remember not things past, nor remember things old" Isaiah 43:18. When Jesus comes, everything changes and transforms. Are you ready for a transformation?

We are going to find what it means to live for Jesus in a distracted world. This world is running at a hundred miles per hour, and we have more information in our hands than we can handle.

A Pastor’s wife is called to support and encourage her husband, prioritizing her relationships with God, family, and others to keep the family healthy; being careful not to allow the busyness of daily culture to confuse her in the role God has entrusted her with. Expectations and needs of family and church may pull her in different directions, but one thing is always consistent, God’s love for her endures forever.

Jesus offers abundant life to those who follow him, but many Christians are stuck in the try-harder life instead. This seven-day study beckons readers into the garden and invites them to listen for the heart of God. Just as plants thrive under the care of a skilled gardener, we’ll move from surviving to thriving as we embrace God’s good gifts designed to help us flourish.

What if every adult leader who served in Youth Ministry was trained and equipped to minister to students, lead them to Jesus, and help them take next steps to grow in their relationship with God?

If you could put all your responsibilities aside for a day, and do whatever you wanted, how would you spend it? This seventh day is a gift from God. He rested (took a Sabbath) on the seventh day of creation and invites us all into a day of rest with Him. Will you decide that enough is enough and take a rest day with God this week?
