Living Hope

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” 1 Peter 1:3 Let your anxious heart rejoice with the glorious expectations of all riches and treasures that await you in heaven. Thank God for such a hope and turn your thoughts away from all the burdens and worries of the world. Renew your mind with thoughts of the pure untainted inheritance that is waiting for you – an inheritance that can never be destroyed....

Relieve Anxiety

“Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matthew 6:34 In times of pressure and stress when it feels as if hope is dying, anxiety takes root in your heart and mind and flourishes.

Stand by your Convictions

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of the word, but be transformed by renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2 There are a number of people who do not remain true to their principles and instead bow to societal pressure, suppressing their ideals. If you do this, you violate your God-created character. What you believe is of crucial importance and becomes the only way for you to achieve true freedom in life. If you are true to yourself, you may be scorned and rejected, but you will enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that you do not live a double...
