Joy Comes From The Presence of The Lord
Happiness is circumstantial, but JOY comes from the presence of the Lord! We very often feel happy when things are going well in our lives and unhappy when they are not.

Walking by the Spirit
What does it mean to live and walk "by the Spirit"? The Holy Spirit is the part of God that comes to reside on the inside of us when we've made the decision to invite Him in and call Him Lord. God is in heaven and Jesus is at His right hand, but the Holy [...]
A Renewed Mind Keeps Us in Faith
It's impossible to stay in faith with an unrenewed mind. A renewed mind just simply means one that is constantly feeding and meditating on God's Word, which is His thoughts.
