Jesus paid for it all
During a prayer meeting in 1865, Elvina Hall wrote a poem inspired by the redemptive power of Christ’s sacrifice. Her writing paired with the music of John Grape, the church organist, became a liberating hymn.
To be satisfied with our lives
We rarely think about our death. We do everything to avoid it! But sometimes it is good to stop and examine the direction of our life. If we would die now, would we be satisfied with what we leave behind?
Everything is going well
When we confidently say that everything is fine with us, it usually means that we have everything we want and that our plans are coming true. But does God have the same definition of well-being?
Don't trust what you see
When it is hot, our eyes perceive puddles on the roads. However, advancing on the road, we realize that nothing is wet. It was just a mirage. Our reasoning can be in error and in all areas of our lives!

Beware: everyone is watching you!
We are adults, we have the right to do whatever we want, and we don’t want anyone to judge us. Unfortunately, that popular attitude is not one that a child of God should have, for at least two reasons.

When we have to make a decision or analyze a situation, it is better to use facts than our emotions. This advice is practical for all areas of life, including our love life.

We are often put to the test in our Christian walk; We must resist all sorts of temptations. However, sometimes resisting is too hard. Then we have to turn to Plan B.
Open my eyes, Lord!
“Open the eyes of my heart…”, says the popular song by Paul Baloche. And we sing it at the top of our lungs. But do we make it a prayer? We can be so distracted by the mundane that we forget about eternity.
Breaking the cycle of retaliation
Sometimes we feel compelled to respond to an offense against us by inflicting the same offense on the person who gave it to us. We want to “make them pay”. This form of resentment only sows poison in our relationships.
