Featured Articles

For over 30 years, Heartlight has shared articles to help people live for Jesus in everyday life. While we are no longer publishing new articles, this enduring collection features relevant pieces throughout the year to encourage faith, offer biblical perspective, and speak to real-world joys and struggles.

Listen to Your Teacher

We need to listen to our Teacher: Jesus is the one we must look to for our answers in how to help and bless others.

Have you been listening lately?

Finding Contagious Joy

Max Lucado reminds us that contagious joy is rooted in courageous joy and not contingent joy, and our courageous joy is rooted in Jesus and faith in what God did through Jesus.

How can we move from contingent joy through courageous joy to contagious joy?

The Lord is Near

Phil Ware reminds us that in our darkest times the Lord, our good Shepherd, wants to be near us and make his presence known to us.

The Lord longs to be near us when we feel most alone, especially in our last journey through the valley of shadows.

You Know How it Feels

If we have been through a hard time, we know how it feels and God can use us to comfort others.

Do you really know how it feels?

Storm Peace

We can pray for our families and our children to help be prepared for the difficult times come.

Can you rest securely when the storm winds blow?

Country Chicken

A trip to the cattle and the country rattles this city slicker loose from her busy ways enough to help her appreciate God in wonder.

A Texas city slicker?

One-way Missionaries

Bruce Logue reminds us that people still do pick up their cross and follow Jesus and the Lord uses them to make an eternal difference!

They took a coffin, which they packed with their belongings, along with a one-way ticket.

Wildlife Preserve

A lady bug helps refocus us and link us back to the beauty of God's creation and our need to be still and experience more and do less.

Have you been to a wildlife office preserve?

Trust Him!

Jesus doesn't live up to our expectations, because God has more planned for us than what we can imagine.

Will we trust him even if he doesn't live up to our expectations?

The Jesus Filter

Russ reminds us that we are to have the mind of Christ, our Jesus filter, through which we process the things in our lives and the way we look at people around us.

How do you process things these days?
