Unlocking the Power of Resolutions: How to Cultivate a Growth Mindset & Achieve Your Goals
Resolutions. A word that at any other time of the year doesn’t hold much power but coming up to the New Year it’s tossed around a lot as plans are made to be healthier in the coming year or to stop doing something because it’s bad for you. Nothing is wrong with this, it’s good…

Sabbath: A Guide to Spiritual Rest
Lately, my thoughts have drifted to the Sabbath and how we should observe it. I know it isn’t always possible to observe it on a Sunday for various reasons, but I believe it is something we should observe as Christians. Genesis 2:2-3 confirms this because if our all-powerful God, who can do all things, takes…

Overcoming Discouragement
Sometimes, it seems like there is nothing good in this world. We are faced with constant negativity, rejections, obstacles, and illness. It is hard, and what hope we have starts to fade. We’ve all been there, discouraged, wanting things to improve but not knowing how or when waiting for what feels like an eternity with…

Discomfort: Why must we suffer to grow?
Discomfort is something we all live with. A fact of life and one that we would rather live without. Yet, without it, none of us would be who we are today. As painful and annoying as it can be, discomfort is not our enemy. It has shaped us and refined us in good ways and…

Forgiveness: What You Need To Know
The concept of forgiveness is something we all struggle with, especially as Christians. We often question whether God truly forgives us, and when we inevitably sin again, we may try to hide from Him, thinking there’s no way He could forgive us again.

Proverbs 31: Warnings and Advice for Godly Men
As promised, I give you Proverbs 31: Man version. Of all thirty-one, I picked out eight verses that guys need to reflect on. We’re starting off with verse 3: ‘Do not spend your strength on women, your vigour on those who ruin kings.’ In some versions, strength is replaced by wealth or energy and vigour…

Proverbs 31: Characteristics of a Godly Woman
This was probably expected at some point; after all, every woman looks to Proverbs 31 at various points in their life for guidance and to be reminded of the values God wants us to live out. What I like most about it is that it isn’t just about women but men too. I will agree…

6 Ways to Nurture a Strong Faith
We are human, mortal beings until death strips us of our Earthly bodies of flesh and we are transformed into perfect beings. As humans we strive for perfection, we try to be God but we never will be. As Christians we know this but we don’t always act like it. We fall, we fail, we…
