Because we live in a culture that increasingly leans toward commercialism, materialism, and secularism, it is not always easy to keep the soul nourished.
The challenge of these days, when times are not hospitable to spiritual growth, is how to nuture, feed, heal, restore, and renew the soul. Here are 21 practical suggestions for building a stronger spiritual life.
Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion.” – Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, German Philosopher
Passion is what happens when your activities and responsibilities align with your being, your true self. When this alignment takes place, you come alive! No barrier seems too high and no river too wide; you simply won’t accept setbacks as failures. Without pass
The new eight-part television series “Jesus: His Life” will premiere on the History Channel this month and The Christian Post has an exclusive clip.
“The story of Jesus is the greatest story ever told that helped shape Western culture,” one of the series contributors says in the clip.
“If we want to understand Western history at all, we must understand Jesus,” another says.
“Jesus: His Life,” produced by Nutopia Productions (“Finding Jesus”), will be a combination of scripted drama based off
When you are going through a dark season in your life, one of the toughest but most important things you can do is trust God. During periods of crisis, it can be extremely difficult to understand the depths of God’s love for you and the unfathomable extent of His faithfulness. If you want to become a woman of strength and purpose, you must come face to face before God and confess that you don’t want to do
A couple months ago Fast Company made a significant oversight by releasing a list of “25 of the Smartest Women on Twitter” which included the brightest women in business, politics, news, and innovation, but excluded women of color. The Brandfog Founder and CEO Ann Charles wrote, “As a woman CEO who writes about women in leadership, I’m frequently looking to make connections with other women on Twitter. The main stumbling block to fully engaging professionally on Twitter is that it can be a chall
God first tells us of His plan to create women in Genesis 1:26-28 when He says, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, the whole earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.’ So God created man in his own image; he created him in the image of God; he created them male and female. God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, an

Don’t forget the value of a virtuous woman. She is defined by God, and that value can never be overemphasized. Different seasons of life bring about mixed emotions. You might find yourself feeling anxious, nervous, excited, content, frazzled, or even burdened, but remember the circumstances you are facing today don’t define you. God clearly chose you to experience this journey for a reason. God defines you as “you.” I was having a hard day several months ago and was feel
At the heart of any successful person, is self-discipline. Whether it’s success in their personal lives or their professional lives, it all starts with an inherent ability for self-control through discipline. Your thoughts. Your emotions. Your behaviors. And your habits. All of them must be kept in check.
If you want to achieve those lofty goals you set, understanding how to disc
Embrace God-given roles. The Word of God is filled with descriptive instructions of how God wants us men to act, think and live. They aren't stereotypes but rather guidelines that help us pursue God's will more and more by first growing in character, faith and knowledge.
Take the lead. There seems to be a strong correlation between leadership and growth. Every time God called someone in the Bible to step up in leadership, they experienced immense spiritual advancements as well. Take David, Mose
Could creating your character be likened to an artist creating a sculpture? I believe that character is not something that just happens by itself any more than a chisel can create a work of art without the hand of an artist guiding it. In both instances, a conscious decision for a specific outcome has been made. A conscious process is at work. Character is the result of hun
Regardless of whether you are trying to lose weight or get married or have a baby or increase sales or climb the career ladder, there are 3 simple spiritual steps that you must follow to achieve your goals.
The first step to achieving your goals is to write down the goal.
Habakkuk 2:22 advises us to write down the vision and make it plain so that we may run when we read it and not dither in indecision. Therefore, write down your family aspirations, weight loss goal, sales target, career ambitio

There's nothing like reading and what it can do for you. But the truth is, we don't read like we used to. One of the main reasons for this is the growth of technology. However, what most people don’t know is there is so much to benefit from reading.
When was the last time you read a book, or a substantial magazine article? Do your daily reading habits center around tweets, Facebook updates,
My grandparents had an arranged marriage and did not part until death. When my grandma died, my grandpa was heartbroken. As a young child, I watched them bicker, but I also watched him cry, overwhelmed by memories of her, after she was gone. I don’t know if we modern people would call it love, but the bond between them was undeniable and transcended their differences.
A paradox presents itself then. Why is it that deep attachments can be formed in arranged marriages between people who often di

"But I want you to be without care.
He who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord- how he may please the Lord.
But he who is married cares about the things of the world- how he may please his wife." 1 Corinthians 7:32-33.
A common desire of every female, irrespective of her age, is to have a "caring husband". This is good and worthy of being desired. Any responsible married man must be caring. Any man who is not ready to do this is not prepared to be married.
