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.

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?

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!

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.

Trust Him!

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

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?

Icebergs

Phil Ware comes in right after Valentine's Day and reminds us about iceberg dates on our calendar that tend to sink us and overwhelm us with feelings of being alone, being failures, and being abandoned but that we can overcome them by crying out to Jesus

What do you do about those iceberg dates on your calendar that seem to sink you?

Comfort in any Season

Phil Ware talks about 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 and comforting others with the comfort we have received when we went through the season of mourning, grief, and pain.

How does God use us to comfort other?

Trust

All around us are people who are grace stories -- people who have opened up to God and received his grace and had their hard lives changed for the better.

Will we open up and really trust him to change our story into a grace story?

Hope Does Not Disappoint Us

No matter how desperate things can seem, God has given the ability to hope in him through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Can we keep from being disappointed by broken hopes?

Empty!

We can think we are following God's will, but the only way to know for sure is by consulting his word.

What are you filling your tank with?
