We all have emotions that compete for control of our lives. And those emotions can get us in trouble when we let them be the boss of us. In this 7-day reading plan, Andy Stanley shares a scriptural “how-to” about saying no to destructive emotions. We need to monitor our hearts—not just our behavior—to prevent emotions like guilt, envy, fear, and anger from bossing us around.

How we view our work – in service to ourselves or in service to others – makes all the difference in our ability to be witnesses for Christ. Paul gives us a powerful example of what it looks like to shift from self-interest to serving others so that we can be a light for Christ at work.  

Serve at Work

Jesus makes it really clear for us in John 15, that we must abide in Him, for apart from Him we can do nothing. Simply put, if we are going to grow and thrive in our relationship with the Lord, we must be regularly connected to Him. One of the most foundational, and essential ways to connect with and abide in Christ is by reading his Words. The Bible is God’s Word given to us to know Him and to know how to follow Him. The more we engage with the Bible and with God, the more we will grow and produce the good fruit in our lives He desires for us. Come on. Let’s read His Words of life together!

Behind The Badge: Devotions For Law Enforcement

The word surrender doesn’t have very positive connotations in our society. It tends to be seen as a weakness. However, surrendering actually takes more strength than you can even imagine. We don't need to carry shame, worry, ingratitude or fear around on our backs. We need to “give it up completely” as one of the definitions of surrender suggests. I believe that when we surrender our lives to the Lordship of Christ we will find the abundant life promised us in John 10:10. After all, God gives His best to those who leave the choice to Him.

Living the Surrendered Life

Ecclesiastes: The Adventure of a Lifetime

In the world, it’s easy for us to question our identities and who we are. We try to fit in and be like everyone else, but the truth is – We are not!
