1 Corinthians 15:49

"Blessed are those who mourn..." (Matthew 5:4, NIV) How is that supposed to work? Throughout Scripture, we are encouraged to have joy in all circumstances. Could there be a link between joy and mourning?

In checkers, each piece has an ultimate goal: to be made king. That kingship comes with a lot more freedom and a lot more responsibility. In the same way, God has given every man the responsibility to lead in various parts of their lives, either on a personal level or on a much larger scale. It’s time for men to rise up and take on the responsibility of Godly leadership.

This reading plan encourages you to lift your eyes above the everyday struggles and distractions and to focus on heavenly things. Through powerful Scripture and faith-filled reminders, you will be challenged to renew your mind and set your heart on Christ. When we look upward, we remember who we are in Jesus and where we truly belong. This plan will help you develop a heavenly mindset, strengthen your faith, and remind you that you are simply passing through.

Since Scripture is true, since God is faithful, and since God promised He would not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can endure, we have real hope for success and real help from Him. The purpose of this plan is to help discover such hope and help – and to experience purity before the sexual struggle engulfs us. Can a believer experience sexual purity when everything around him says to indulge and enjoy it? The Bible says yes!
