Scott Hubbard | Our sinful flesh primes us for laziness. Yet in Christ, we can take up even our dirty dishes and unbalanced checkbooks with gladness and strength.

Greg Morse | Living can feel like a ship adrift in a raging sea, no anchor, no harbor, no hope. But Moses helps us navigate the chaotic waters by anchoring our hope in God.

Clinton Manley | Do you seek in food what you can only find in God? Gluttony deceives by promising from food what only the fullness of Christ can provide.

David Mathis | Too often, we dismiss sins like gluttony, gossip, and laziness as minor. But the Spirit hates the sins we often tolerate. And he’s ready to help us put them to death.

David Mathis | Sleep may feel like an inconvenience, a pause in your productivity. But what if every bedtime provides an opportunity to pursue joy in God?

Scott Hubbard | Parents, what kind of God do your kids see reflected in the way you treat them? Would they ever get the impression that God is happy beyond our wildest imagination?

Greg Morse | Throughout history, cosmic powers have demanded the sacrifice of children on their altars. Those demons are still active and behind abortion today.

Clinton Manley | The spirit of abortion stands against the heart of God. Abortion sacrifices the weak to the will of the strong; God sacrifices himself to rescue the weak.
