Articles Tagged 'Do' (Page 7)

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.

Renown or Ransom?

Jame Nored and Phil Ware remind us of Jesus' example of being a servant and giving his life as a ransom to buy our freedom.

How could Jesus' 12 apostles be so clueless? O, yeah. I'm that clueless about half the time!

I'm Not Called to That?

Jordan Harrell reminds us that there are some things we are all called to do because that is what Jesus wants from us.

Called. Sometimes, I think we use that word as an excuse to not do scary things.

Why I'm not Teaching My Three-Year-Old to Read

Jordan Harrell shares wise words for moms on this Mother's Day reminding us what we should most value in our children.

I remember being alarmed at her early disinterest in learning... or at least what we think of as learning.

Upside-Down Kingdom

Phil Ware shares Jesus' teaching that is upside-down to the world around us in terms of status, wealth, power, position, achievement, and importance.

Our groups and our churches must be the arenas where Jesus' upside-down kingdom comes to life.

The Good Life: Following the Way of Jesus

Phil Ware and James Nored, through word and video, remind us of our need to return to the Jesus-styled kind of life.

Jesus went up on the mountain and taught his followers to live the good life — to live as Jesus did!

Love Language with Jesus?

Phil Ware reminds us how important it is to use love language with those who are precious to us and we can begin by doing this with Jesus.

The best way I know to start trying this love language shift is to use it with Jesus.

God's Favorite Name

Max Lucado reminds us of who God is to us and that this great and almighty God has invited us to call him our "Abba" Father!

You used to be normal, ho-hum, and average. No longer. You are not who you used to be!

Adopted into the Family

Phil Ware shares a powerful story about his foster grandson and how that helps us understand what it means to be adopted into God's family.

We come with bad habits, wounds, and all sorts of unfortunate baggage. It takes awhile for us to unlearn them!

What Is Your Price?

Max Lucado challenges us to think about how many of us give up our values and most precious life connections for far less than millions of dollars because we are greedy for something.

When questioned, most people questioned would give up many precious things for 10 million dollars. Would you?

Finding Jesus!

Phil Ware shares a message he has shared privately many times about how to experience Jesus, how for Jesus to be real in our lives, each day.

How do we get started on rebuilding our relationship with Jesus, a relationship He yearns to have with us?

Indescribable

Phil Ware shares a quick thank you for all who have donated and then focuses on establishing a new tradition of teaching his grandchildren to share what they have with others.

Wow! What a precious addition to our Christmas with these boys. We hope to do something like this every year.

God Has a Plan

Max Lucado reminds us that despite the work we have to do in the darkness, God is doing something special in us and with us.

Be assured, God has a pattern and plan for you!

When the Cost Is too High!

Max Lucado reminds us the real price tag for greed.

Greed is not defined by what something costs; it is measured by what it costs you.

Bat Turn at the Jordan

Phil Ware and James Nored look at what the ministry of John the Baptizer meant for people in his day and call on us to share in this move toward the kingdom of God today.

before we can be ready to be fully used by the Lord in the work of the kingdom of God, we must have our bat turn moment.

Refresh

Patrick Odom uses the short letter of Paul to Philemon to remind us what is important in Christ.

If the gospel we believe doesn't cause us to liberate people from the chains of our prejudices and selfishness, then perhaps we don’t understand it.

Hope, Healing, and Help

Phil Ware continues his posts on how to help with the disasters currently plaguing the United States.

With so many struggling, each of us has an opportunity to step up and make a difference in the lives of those in deep need!

Here's Where to Help!

Phil Ware shares a way to donate to help people in need from Hurricane Harvey.

You can help by donating to folks on the ground who have pledged to handle your gifts honorably.

Our Journey with God

Phil Ware and James Nored remind us that we can journey with God like Abraham, knowing that he goes with us until he brings us fully home.

How do I know God is really with me on my journey to find a home with him?

Legion No More!

Phil Ware reminds us the battle we are in with Satan with our lives and how Jesus can end our bondage to him.

Jesus came to bring us freedom from bondage to Satan and his power.

Honesty with God on Our Journey of Faith

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us that Abraham's journey of faith wasn't easy, his life was not perfect, and his questions for God were real.

Thankfully the Bible is honest about the flaws of our heroes so we can know that we can be a person of faith useful to God, too!

Aren't the Trees Nice and Full!

Phil Ware introduces us to the concept of TRANSENDING.church and calls us to be a people who gather to transform and scatter.

We are called to be a group of mustard seed people — folks who know they are GATHERED to be TRANSFORMED and SCATTERED.

I Doubt It: World Changers

Phil Ware continues his series called 'I Doubt It' and focuses today on Jesus' call and promise that his eleven apostles and those that followed them would turn the world upside down with their message of good news and hope and grace.

Despite early Jewish opposition and later Roman persecution and martyrdom, their passion, conviction, and impact could not be stopped.

I Doubt It: Jesus Is Risen from the Dead

Phil Ware continues his series called 'I Doubt It' and focuses this week on Jesus having risen from death to never die again.

Jesus is risen, and we believe because the first disciples had their doubts!

I Doubt It: I AM, Don't Be Afraid

Phil Ware continues his series called "I Doubt It" and this week focuses on Jesus coming to his closest followers through the storm when they were exhausted, afraid, and uncertain.

Maybe the goal in life is not to arrive at our goals, but to invite Jesus into the journey and let him get us where we need to be.

Doing What Jesus' Asks

Max Lucado simply reminds us to obey Jesus when he asks something of us.

Why are we so reluctant to do what Jesus asks us when we know he cares so much for us?
