Next Steps

Over the past few decades we’ve discovered a lot about the science of habits and how God has hardwired us to operate, so we know more about successfully starting, stopping or changing a habit then ever before. For instance every habit has a cue, a routine, and a reward, which is why for each habit you want…

Twice in Galatians 5 the Apostle Paul tells us to “walk by the Spirit” (Gal. 5:16) and “keep in step with the Spirit” (Gal. 5:25). But what does that mean? Is that just ambiguous spiritual language that we’re somehow supposed to figure out on our own? If you grew up in a church or denomination…

Praying is good, but praying Scripture is much better. It’s asking God for things He’s already promised He would give you, it’s claiming promises that have already been made. Here are ten incredible Scriptures to pray over yourself: Romans 8:1-2. Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through…

There are lots of different ways to pray, but I want to introduce a method that you probably haven’t heard of before: the football way to pray. Over the past two months (during the height of football season, not surprisingly), this has helped me balance my prayers so that I’m covering all the vital parts…

As I’ve talked to people who regularly consume the Word, they speak often about how the Word guides them, how it illuminates their path, how it helps them know which way to go. I think of the verse in Psalm 119 that says “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to…

9 How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. 10 I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. 11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. 12 Praise be to you, Lord; teach me your decrees. 13 With my lips I recount all the laws…

The Word of God is vital to you, like a loaf of bread to a starving person, because words shape your reality. For proof, go back and read Genesis 1. How did God create the universe? With words. “Let there be light,” and there was light. Even today, words continue to shape reality. One of the…

1 I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake…

8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.     And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy     and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8 Too many times God’s will appears unnecessarily vague and out of reach, as if God is intentionally trying to keep us in the dark about…

4 For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you.They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. 8 In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own…
