Standing for What You Believe
Bravery is not just limited to war—daily life can be a battlefield. If you’re facing a tough situation requiring great courage don’t compromise on what you believe. The world needs people who are committed to standing alone for the truth.
That Nasty Three-Letter Word
Of the many things we could name that cause Christians grief and heartache, nothing can compare to sin.
Our Lord’s Return: What Then?
John is urging his readers to think and plan ahead: to realize that the Lord's return is an inescapable reality which we can face with assurance, not shame.

The Disturbing Realities of Our Times
See how clearly 1 John 2:15-18 describes the disturbing realities of our times, and discover how to navigate our way.

Resolution or Prediction
Resolutions are what we determine will happen, based on convictions, personal disciplines, strong purpose, clear vision, or a sense of mission. Predictions are things we anticipate might happen. These are based on assumptions, opinions, trends, or feelings. When you think about it, predictions and worry have a lot in common...they both forecast the future based on assumptions or feelings. They waste your energy and rob you of the joy of living today.
