    Spiritual Stability: July 26, 2023

    Spiritual Stability:  July 26, 2023

    Spiritual stability is the burden of most, if not all, the writers of the New Testament; they plead with us to stand firm, hold fast, and contend for the faith. In 1 Thessalonians 3:8, Paul explains, “For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.” When God’s people have the joy of the Lord, they stand firm in faith—they live abundantly, tasting even today the promises of heaven. Likewise, if we want to live in spiritual stability, we must take care to maintain our joy. In today’s devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef draws out four ways to maintain joy from Paul’s letter to the Philippian church.

    Be Brave in the War: June 29, 2023

    Be Brave in the War:  June 29, 2023

    There is a war raging on Truth. Our postmodern, post-Truth world is doing all it can to undermine the very notion of objective Truth—creating the perfect breeding ground for heresy and false religion. As a result, our culture considers it foolish—even hateful—for Christians to contend for basic Biblical beliefs. But we must stand firm in our faith, speaking the Truth that the world needs to hear. 

    In today’s devotional, Dr. Michael Youssef encourages us to persevere in trying times through Daniel’s example.
