Words of Hope and Inspiration with Joel and Victoria Osteen

I read a story about a man who lived in a tiny apartment and died in extreme poverty. At one point in his life, he had even been homeless, living on the streets. This man never had any successes to speak of nor any noted victories. He lived and died as just another face in…

So many people are walking around in this life, day in and day out, going through the motions, checking off their lists, breathing air, but they aren’t truly living the way God intends. See, God doesn’t want us to just “get through” the days; He wants us to thrive, excel, overcome, and really live and…

A couple of years ago, I was chatting with a young man who was sharing how the ministry had really helped him recover from a terrible divorce. He was saying that he just didn’t understand what had gone wrong in his five-year marriage. “After all,” he said, “we met through a very reputable matchmaking website.…

In life, we all experience setbacks and disappointments. We all have times when things don’t go the way we planned. If we’re not careful, those negative experiences can attach themselves to us, weigh us down and hold us back. We have to realize that what has happened in the past doesn’t have to define our…

When things aren’t happening on your timetable, when you don’t see anything changing, are you tempted to get complacent or quit trying? I have a friend who struggled with an addiction for a long time, many years. In high school, he got mixed up with the wrong crowd; and twenty years later, he was still…

What are you seeking in this New Year? What are your highest priorities? So many people make their lists and fill their days trying to make things happen. Or, they seek after something newer, bigger or better. Of course, I’m all for having goals, dreams and pursuing what God has placed in your heart. But…

Psalm 81:10 says, “Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.” As we enter the new year, ask yourself, “Do I have my mouth open wide for this year?” In other words, what are you expecting? What are you ready to receive from Almighty God? If you’ve been thinking, “I don’t think I’ll ever…

I love what Paul said in Philippians 3:13. He’s talking about moving forward with God. In this verse he basically says, “You know, I’m not perfect. I haven’t attained it all. But one thing I do—I press on.” He is focused on moving forward. He doesn’t want to stay where he is. He doesn’t want…

God loves faith! In fact, Hebrews tells us that without faith, it is impossible to please Him. The good news is that each person has been given a measure of faith. (Romans 12:3) There’s a seed of faith deposited into every single person. That faith is activated when you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord…

So many people today are living far below what God has for them. They are missing out on the peace, joy, wholeness and freedom that is found in knowing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. As a believer in Him, we don’t have to be up all night dealing with sleep problems when scripture…
