There’s a lot of negativity that comes at you each day — things you have no control of. But you can take a lot of trash out of your life by reducing your trash talk when it comes to anger, lying, judging and more.

As believers we are a part of God’s new humanity, and as a result we are called to walk in distinctiveness. We are called to walk in love, rejecting the idolatry of disordered sexuality. We are called to walk in humility, rejecting the idolatry of power. Walking in integrity, we reject the idolatry of success. And rejecting the power of greed, we are called to walk in simplicity. 

The “dog days of summer” phrase describes the time of year when it is hot and the summer is winding down. A big change of schedule is often right around the corner. Before you begin a new routine, why not hit the pause button to reflect on your walk with God? This five-day video plan includes short video segments (2-3 minutes) to help you head back to work or school.   

Even amidst problems, look for the good, staying open and responding to what God brings. As we encounter God more intimately, our perspective is rewritten as He reveals new ways to approach our troubles. Begin this five-day plan via Rush from Gather Ministries and allow love, rather than pain, to shape your decisions and relationships.

Of all the apostles, Paul’s conversion/calling story was arguably the most notable and miraculous, his assignment to take the Gospel to the Gentiles the most unique, and the tangible results of his obedience the most impressive by human standards. Even so, Paul did not operate as a lone wolf, set apart from the pack and self-sufficient. On the contrary, this hero of the Christian faith understood the essential role his brothers and sisters played in his life and stayed connected to them even when his assignment to preach and live truth called him away for long stretches of time. 

He’s been through what you’re going through. He’s felt what you’re feeling. And He has conquered what you’re facing. All while being led by the power of the Holy Spirit. Based on Spirit-Filled Jesus by Mark Driscoll, this 5-day devotional shows you how to pick up your cross and follow Jesus.

If you’ve thought, “If only God would meet me like he did people in the Bible!” this devotional is for you. It’s about what happens when God does, indeed, show up. You’ll be surprised by the responses from biblical figures when God “friends” them. That’s the premise of GOD FRIENDED ME, a new CBS series about an avowed atheist named Miles, whose worldview is challenged when he gets a social-media friend request from God.    

The tongue is one of the smallest parts of the body but it can do the most damage to others. As Christians, we must learn to control the tongue and watch our words. Let us help you.

When someone has hurt us, it can seem hard to forgive. But it turns out, forgiveness is your path to freedom. Not only that, it can set free everyone in the situation! These daily readings can give you faith to forgive and expect God to move in the lives of everyone involved.

Christ in you is the hope of glory. Are you living more out of your old, dead nature or your new nature and identity in Christ? Have you drifted away from Jesus? To come back into being a wholly surrendered follower of Christ, we are called to die daily! When you hear the call, how do you respond?
