“Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up” – Proverbs 12:25It costs nothing to be kind. Yet, it’s still a mystery why we don’t outgrow childish cliques or unkindness.I’m sure you’ve seen it in the shows you watch or the tunes you hear on the radio....

We said that following Christ’s command to deny ourselves means coming to the end of ourselves – putting our desires to rest and living a life of serving others and, ultimately, the kingdom of God. This process is painful and is referred to as sanctification. In the second article, we explored h

Staying humble and recognizing that all good things come from God keeps us grounded in our faith. It helps us maintain a spirit of gratitude and ensures that we give credit where it is due, honoring God in all aspects of our lives.
