    How to Change Your Thinking for a Healthier Mind and Body

    Our thoughts are connected to every single area of our lives. They affect our words, moods, attitudes, the choices we make, and even our relationship with God and others. They also affect our emotional and physical health.

    Child Abuse Victims: Rid Yourself of Guilt Once and for All

    Do you spend a lot of time feeling guilty? I did, as a result of being abused as a child. I grew up believing something was wrong with me and that everything was my fault. And when you develop that kind of thinking during your childhood, it can torment you for a long time.

  • Pursuing Holiness: You Can Be Everything God Created You to Be!

    Pursuing Holiness: You Can Be Everything God Created You to Be!

    We live in a very casual society today, and it's easy to carry this attitude over into our walk with God. Many are not as serious as they should be — allowing things in their lives that they really wouldn't want to be there if they thought Jesus was going to come back tomorrow.

  • How to Run Your Race to Win

    How to Run Your Race to Win

    We've all heard the phrase, "Everyone has a race to run." That just means we all have our own lives to live. And as Christians, God has a specific purpose and plan for each of us.

  • Learning to Expose and Overcome Deception in Your Mind

    Learning to Expose and Overcome Deception in Your Mind

    For many years of my life, I believed that I was damaged goods and could only have a second-rate life. I thought that the sexual and emotional abuse I endured as a child was somehow my fault…that it had happened because something was wrong with me. And I felt a false sense of responsibility to fix my circumstances. Of course I couldn't make that happen, so that caused more self-condemnation, and as a result, I didn't like myself very much.

  • Living in God's Rest

    Living in God's Rest

    When we try to do everything in our own strength and leave God out of the equation, we just get worn-out and frustrated by our mistakes and failures. But when we lean on God, we actually enter into His rest and can enjoy our lives, no matter what our circumstances may be.

  • God-Given Confidence Is Actually the Grace of God

    God-Given Confidence Is Actually the Grace of God

    Before I learned how to live my life by God's grace, I was a mess. I was a nagging wife, manipulative and controlling. And I wasn't satisfied living like that.

  • Overcome Doubt and Live With Bold Faith

    Overcome Doubt and Live With Bold Faith

    How could Paul, in the middle of a horrible storm, ask the people to "be in good spirits" and have a good attitude? Because he believed in his heart — without a doubt — "that it will be exactly as it was told me."

  • The Reality of Being More Than a Conqueror in Life

    The Reality of Being More Than a Conqueror in Life

    Romans 8:37 says that Christians are "more than conquerors" in this world. But do we really know what it means to be more than a conqueror? I know it took many years for me to learn what it means and how to live the victorious life Jesus died to give us as believers.

    Between the Pit and the Palace: How to Keep Moving in Life and Not Get Stuck

    The book of Genesis (chapters 37-45) tells the story of Joseph. He was the favorite of his father's 12 sons, and his brothers were very jealous of him because of it. One day when Joseph shared a dream he'd had of them all bowing down to him … well, that was the last straw!
