Thankfully, most Americans don’t live in a daily reality where we have to think about our spouse in the context of life or death—at least, not yet. But Christ came to earth, and each day He lived, knowing that the cross was on the horizon. This act of love cost Him something (everything), allowing each of us to receive a most awesome gift...

Twenty years after it was first released, the Newsboys' classic Take Me To Your Leader still holds up as a great album. Read here the CCM Re-Review.

He is coming back to reign, and when He does every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord (Isaiah 43:25, Romans 14:11)—but I don’t want to be in that number. What am I missing from God, right now, by not shutting up or turning off the gadgets, for even just a few hours a day?

What unique challenges do we currently face as we ponder getting to know others hearts, versus attempting to deal with all of the “issues” that seem to get in front of them?

Don’t give up the faith. No one, including the God-breathed Word itself, said that following Christ is going to be a cupcake party. There will be suffering, but God has promised us restoration, confirmation, strength—and will establish His order out of our chaos. Have faith! #PrayForParis
