A Taste of Home 2014 Archives

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.

Remembering What Really Matters

Rubel Shelly reminds us to focus and live based on what lasts and is important and endures into eternity.

So where are you investing your time, your moments, your days?

To Fret or to Leave in God's Hands?

Lisa Mikitarian reminds us of our need to honor God with the things he has called and gifted us to do regardless of how they are used or appreciated by others.

Why do we fret over our artistic expressions?

One of Us

Phillip Morrison writes to remind us that the Ferguson tragedy is not new, but a repeated wound or scar, and we need trusted friends to help address the issue, and the same is true with our lives and Jesus our friend.

Sometimes what we need most is a friend!

Mud Dauber Determination

Cathy Messecar uses the image of a mother mud dauber to give us some insight into a mother's role about paralyzing the evil influences in our children's lives.

Saving spiders for their kids to eat?

Daddy!

Phillip Morrison reminds us of the role and importance of a dad and father on Father's Day.

Father, Daddy, means so much more than just the oldest man in the house!

Mom, You're the Real MVP

Phillip Morrison talks about Kevin Durant's MVP speech and his own mom as the MVP.

For all you do, Mom, we think you are the best.

The Fourth Quarter

Teresa Bell Kindred reminds us to use the fourth quarter wisely and finish strong.

So are you ready for the buzzer to sound?

Potholes Ahead

Rubel Shelly reminds us to not get knocked off our path when we encounter potholes, even big bad ones that do damage, but to keep pressing on and persevering toward the call of God.

While we cannot accurately predict the future, for most of us, there will be potholes in our path!

Ordinary or Not?

Ron Rose is back to challenging us to treat our spiritual life like and adventure and let God lead us by faith and not hide the monotony of our same old routines.

Are you making it up as you go?
