Articles Tagged 'Me' (Page 2)

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.

What's Really Important

Paul Faulkner reminds us that most folks miss the point of life entirely because they don't know what is really important.

How do you know the difference?

God of Fresh Starts

Max Lucado reminds us that the God of hope gives us fresh starts just as he did to Noah with the olive leaf and the dove.

Hope is an olive leaf — evidence of dry land after a flood.

What Is Core: Believing

Phil Ware begins a series of messages on what is core, or what is at the heart of what we must believe and do to be true disciples of Jesus, today.

What is most important for us to believe and do as disciples of Jesus, today?

The Misunderstanding

Phil Ware shares his third post on The Question, Peter's confession of Jesus and how he had to be broken before he could really understand what his confession meant.

Without understanding the cross, we turn Christianity into another human contest about self-importance.

A Journey of Love and Care

Finding help for aging adults with Alzheimer's, ALS, and other mobility-related issues is essential to care for those you love fully.

Finding Hope and Support in Times of Need!

Heaven's Window

Phil Ware shares his second post in his four article series on Peter's confession, focusing this time on our tendency to reduce faith to words and not actions and discipleship.

Doesn't discipleship involve more than just saying the right words?

Imprint

Jesus has split time in two and had an even greater impact on our lives and hearts.

How has he left his imprint on you?

The Vast Sky Was My Teacher

Melissa Troyer draws on her life of experiences with the vastness of our universe and her need and thanks God for always knowing and seeing and caring and planning for us.

The vast needs that spread wide before us? They are already in His hands.

Connecting People with Jesus

Phil Ware begins a series of messages on The Andrew Effect -- connecting people with Jesus and helps us learn from Andrew on how to make a Jesus difference in the lives of others.

What on earth are we put here to do?

A Charcoal Fire & the Smell of Redemption

Phil Ware continues his Saved at Sea series focusing on Peter's denials, his promises, his arrogance, his failure, and his restoration.

Why make someone relive his or her sin, why not just ignore it?

The Who's Who that Really Matters

Rubel Shelly reminds us that God's book of Who's Who is only filled with those who are servants.

So how do I get my name in this book?

What's Really Important

Paul Faulkner reminds us that most folks miss the point of life entirely because they don't know what is really important.

How do you know the difference?

A Brand New Idea: You!

Max Lucado wants us to know there is only one of each of us and each of us needs to be who we are to honor God, bless others, and bless ourselves.

And if you aren't you, we won't ever get you. The world misses out. You offer a gift to society that no one else brings.

Future Safe

Phil Ware reminds us that true thanksgiving is rooted in our future being safe in Jesus and sharing in his glory when he comes for us.

How secure to feel about your safety as we move into what seems to be an increasingly uncertain future?

Finding Our Path to God

James Nored and Phil Ware remind us of both the exclusive claim of Jesus as the only way to God and the inclusive fellowship of welcoming all people who truly believe in him.

The Bible and the early church were both exclusive and inclusive about salvation and fellowship.

God of Fresh Starts

Max Lucado reminds us that the God of hope gives us fresh starts just as he did to Noah with the olive leaf and the dove.

Hope is an olive leaf — evidence of dry land after a flood.

Learning to Hear and Experience Jesus

Phil Ware shares how we can experience Jesus in our lives based on Jesus' promises and Matthew's story of Jesus in his Gospel.

We all need to discover that Jesus is not just alive and interceding for us at the right hand of God, but he is also present with us now as our resurrected Lord, Savior, and friend.

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!

Looking for Jesus at Christmas

Rick Brown talks about Jesus not just missing from the nativity, but also from Christmas and from our lives and yet we can use this time to restore him to his rightful place in our lives.

Whatever happened to the reason for the season?

It's the Little Moments

Melissa Troyer writes insightfully about her husband, Daniel, and his way of seizing small moments to be there for his family despite being in a very stressful time in grad school.

He grasps those little moments so well. Pulls the kids close, chooses to go play frisbee or a game of Uno, just because.

When Endings Are Complicated, God Is Still Gracious

Ron Rose reminds us that not all faith stories have happy endings and that sometimes we have to wade on through tragedy with faith.

What do you do when the endings are not always happy ones?

Living vs. Life

Life is more than making a living, it's making a life.

What's the difference between making a living and making a life?

What is CORE: Finishing

Phil Ware brings his series on 'What is CORE!' to a close, giving us a short summary to help us remember these three CORE passages and what they teach and call on us to do.

I remain convicted that these passages give us the CORE of what we must believe and practice as Jesus' disciples.

Biblical Marriage

Lee Wilson goes back to the beginning of Scripture and as an experienced relationship coach, invites people to look at God's plan to make marriages thrive.

Not an archaic form of subjugation but a divine and brilliant system for harmony, mutual enrichment, and voluntary submission!

What is Core: Worshiping

Phil Ware finishes his series on What is Core by talking about worship and the importance of meeting together in big and small groups, but also living out the life God has called us to lead, being a reflection of the righteous character and gracious compa

Why do we put so much emphasis on worship in the box and not in our everyday lives?
