Christian Living
The Christian life is difficult sometimes, isn't it? God asks us to leave behind our selfishness and devote ourselves to Jesus Christ in the service of others. This journey has a clear beginning and an even clearer end, but its path is littered with dangerous obstructions and precarious curves. Thankfully, its destination provides lasting, eternal rewards.
Chances are you have experienced the difficulty of losing your way on the journey. We've all been tempted to stray, to step away from the fundamentals of authentic Christian living toward the more immediate fulfilments we desire for ourselves. But God calls us to a life devoted to studying the Scriptures, to prayer, and most important, to knowing Christ Himself.
Let these resources remind you that the goal isn't just reaching our heavenly destination but walking closely with Jesus as we get there.

A Checklist for Lasting Joy
Happiness, though, rarely likes to stick around. I mean a lasting happiness, an unshakable sense of contentment, an abiding bliss. It’s the kind of happiness that stays truly satisfied because of an inner peace deep within, regardless of circumstances
Joy Is a Choice
Joy Is a Choice
I have told you these things
so that you will be filled with my joy.
Yes, your joy will overflow!
(John 15:11)
God is no distant deity but a constant reality, a very present help whenever needs occur. So? So live like it. And laugh like it! Paul did. While he lived, he drained every drop of joy out of every day that passed. How do I know? This little letter to the Philippians says so.
Same Song, Different Verse
Maturity is a life-long process, and it’s often through times of testing we mature the most. Some people never get it.
