What is the meaning of life? It is a question that is probably asked by every person in every stage of life. Asking this question is good for a Christian’s walk of faith. But the answer is the most important. The answer is living with a kingdom mindset and impacting the world for the Kingdom. So what is the Kingdom and how can you live Kingdom minded? I’m glad you asked! The Kingdom is a place of righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). Some may believe that the Kingdom will come after the Lord returns. But it is here now!…

So you’re a Christian. You follow the Lord and strive to do His will. Reading your Bible and praying is something that you do daily. And you try to be as set-apart from the world as you possibly can. But you encounter unbelievers—people who necessarily don’t believe in God. How do you respond? Whether these unbelievers are seeking to know more about God or just want to be your friend, what should you do? Verses such as 2 Corinthians 6:14 may confuse the Christian girl: “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or…

Listening to music fills your mind with either lies or truth. Music has been proven to change our moods and direct our way of thinking. So as followers of God, we need to be careful when it comes…

Or as a new wife? A new mother? A grandmother?… The list could go on. No matter what season of life you are in, staying content is difficult. We always want to move to the next big thing.

Hard times and difficult circumstances are a part of life. Every person will go through something that will test their faith. These are the times when joy is hard to find.

Sometimes life can be hard. Not knowing what’s around the corner can make us doubt our next move. Walking a straight path of life may seem impossible. Well I need to tell you that it is impossible. God never promised us that life would be simple. There is a quote that states, “Just because God’s path isn’t always understandable, doesn’t mean it’s not the right path.” Everyone’s path will look different and that’s okay. We are each unique. Each of us has a different purpose to live out. We will all go through different struggles and hardships. Your path may…
