When No One's Pushing - #6618
You've got to develop your own discipline of time in The Word, of making Christ-honoring choices when there's nobody around to see but Him. You've got to take a stand on your own.

Engaging with your nation's soul & spiritual questions
When people are seeking spiritual answers, why would we not try to listen to them and start engaging in the terms and language they are using, rather than defaulting to some standardized formulaic gospel presentation?

Your Skin Goes Everywhere - #6580
Your relationship with Christ isn't just some set of spiritual clothes you put on to do spiritual work, to go to spiritual meetings and then take off. It's skin that you carry with you into every arena of your life. Living for Christ is a style that you carry with you all day, everywhere like skin.

When You Charge, They Charge - #6577
Serving the Lord is much like football. As soon as you start gaining ground spiritually, the other side starts to come after you. When you charge, they charge. That's something to be aware of, but it's not something to be afraid of. Just keep running toward that open door, because you have the Son of God blocking for you.

Spiritual questions in The Hunger Games movie
The Hunger Games movie has released across the world, with critical acclaim. It may not be a film that would appeal to your mother, or perhaps even you – if your demographic is not teens and twenties. But be assured, most of your church youthgroup and their peers will see this one. And it's definitely not a lightweight high school comedy. This is deep and serious.

How to Lose Something Spiritually and Keep it Off - #6570
I think as Christians we should be known for being too busy doing good things to miss the things we're not doing. Let's be known not for what we're against, but for the great things we're for.

So Much Hurt - #6571
When our son was three years old, we visited the U.S. Capitol in Washington. I remember him looking up that massive flight of steps and thinking, "Man, there's no way." Well, he made it to the top, because his Daddy carried him where he couldn't go. See, when you can't walk, your Father will carry you. I really can do "all things through Christ who gives me strength" (Philippians 4:13), because Jesus really is enough.

Arial views of Calke Abbey filmed by model helicopter
Calke Abbey is a stately home in UK's East Midlands. Here’s a fascinating video shot by a friend of a friend using small radio-controlled battery-powered model helicopters (3- and 4-rotor) carrying a video camera. They are an amateur version of police or military drones. The pilot wears a headset to see from the ground what the camera sees and navigate accordingly. It really is almost like being up there. There are many spiritual parallels in flying.

Deliberate Forgetting - #6566
The enemy loves to have you dwell on the past. I'll tell you why. Because it can't be changed. He wants you to think about those past failures because you can't do anything about them. He wants you to think about those past damages because you can't change those, instead of what you can affect, which is this 24-hour period of time and a future that has yet to be written.

Eat When the Pressure's On - #6560
Is the pressure on you right now? Spend quality time in your Lord's presence, even though it may be harder than ever to do it, you've never needed it more. Feed on His resources. Download them. Partake of it. That's why He's brought you to this point. Get the resources you would never experience if the pressure didn't drive you to it.
