Kingdom Leadership

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.

Prayer and Mission

Mark Frost continues the series on discovering your mission before finding your minister with the Interim Ministry Partners team and he focuses on prayer.

So if they didn't and couldn't, how dare we?

It's All About People!

Phillip Morrison reminds us in the shadow of Independence Day about the many inconsistencies when principles are first applied, yet he also urges us to be patient and gracious and open to the needs of all people.

Through the years and all the changes, one thing remains true about the heart of God.

Let God Love You!

Max Lucado reminds us to accept and receive the love God longs to give us.

Do more than try to hang onto love. Let's God's love Hang on to you!

Christ our Hope!

Max Lucado reminds us that Christ is our hope and that we can invite him into our lives anew, and to stay, this Christmas.

You offer the invitation, and Jesus brings the blessing!

Houses for Healing!

Phil Ware shares the work of Houses for Healing (H4H) in Abilene, Texas, which serves people of that region of Texas with a place to stay while they (or their family with them) are receiving medical care in Abilene.

This example of bringing together a coalition of people, organizations, churches, and businesses to bless others in the name of Jesus is a powerful example of what Kingdom life could be!

Don't Just Do Something

Phil Ware reminds us that the phrase 'don't just stand there do something' is absolutely wrong: we must pray first, then let the Lord lead us to know what to do!

He was oblivious to the truth that our attempts to live for Jesus will succeed only if we have the power of the Holy Spirit released to us through prayer.

Biblical Foundation for Online Outreach Strategies

Phil Ware acknowledges the burnout and frustration in our church leaders from having to do church online and virtually, but at the same time challenges us to go back to the book of Acts and see how using our technologies to share Jesus is essential.

Instead of spending all of our time focused on re-gathering, we need to ask ourselves how we are have been doing the essential things that go with being Jesus' church

He Entered Your World

Max Lucado reminds us that Jesus longs for us to draw near to him in our times of troubles, problems, challenges, pain, and trials.

God drew near to us in Jesus, so why would we not come to him with our challenges, troubles, and trials?

Love the Family

Patrick Odum reminds us that we can be better at loving the family of believers than we are doing now and that this change, this commitment to love, can make all the difference in the world.

Your church can be that kind of family, and it can begin with you being that kind of family member.

Does It Really Make a Difference?

Steve Hemphill challenges us to rethink our role in spiritual warfare and calls on us to battle for the heart of our cities through prayer and prayer stakes.

They acted on their faith. Crime went down 45% in 18 months.

Holding on to Bitterness?

Max Lucado reminds us of the importance of forgiveness or bitterness poisons our hearts and destroys our influence.

Without forgiveness, bitterness is all that’s left!

What Is Sin?

Patrick Odum challenges us to look at sin, community involvement, engagement in the problems of our world, and what it means to be a citizen of the world in which we live.

I was taught to appreciate the beauty of the world and to see in that beauty glimpses of its Creator.

Quiet Waters

Bill Sherrill feels the rhythm of life and noise on a lake and compares it to life and our need for God to bring us peace and restoration to our souls.

Is there hope for those stuck in the long stretches of life without peace?
