Start 2011 with a 30-Day Binge

Every New Year starts the same way—with a massive push to purge. Everyone commits to purge their lives of bad habits, bad food choices, or too much stuff. There’s nothing wrong with using a new year to think about what needs to go in your life, but I want to encourage you to start this year with a 30-day binge. What do I want you to feast on? The Word of God.

Will You Resolve to Choose Truth in 2011?

Yesterday, I challenged you to resolve to put God's truth into action in 2011. I gave you five action steps based on the truths Nancy and Dannah write about in “Lies Young Women Believe.”

Here are eight more ways you can live out God's truth in 2011. 

Twenty-One Resolutions for 2011

There's nothing wrong with making the choice to be healthier or try new things at the start of a new year. But this year I'm feeling motivated to make changes that truly matter. I want the same for you.

Not Feeling It

Some years the Christmas story seems too familiar to me. My to-do list seems too important. I want to get caught up in Christmas cheer, but I find myself thinking, I'm just not feeling it.

Remembering the Good News

What is the good news? That Jesus was willing to do whatever it took to become our Savior. What did He save us from? That is the question you should be asking this Christmas season.

God, what are You doing?

Whatever your tough circumstance, would you grab a pen and paper (or just type below), and ask God what He's doing through your tough circumstance?

How would Jesus celebrate Christmas?

Between Santa and jingle bells, Christmas parties, and presents to buy and hope for, I think most of us struggle to keep our attention focused on the baby in the manger. I've worked hard to make this a Christmas where I had time to consider the sacred. That's why I keep wondering how Jesus would celebrate His birth.

God is My Good Luck Charm

Is Jesus your good luck charm or the God you trust in all circumstances?

Do Jehovah's Witnesses really believe the same things we do?

How can you test whether a spirit is from God or not? Let's ask the apostle John.

Redefining the Blogosphere

The Jesus Standard

If you're waiting for a guy who is without sin, communicates perfectly, and has his faith all figured out, it's going to be a long wait.

Finding Freedom from the Lies

What might have been different had Eve chosen to surrender to the truth? Everything! How might our lives look different if we would surrender to God's ideas rather than our own?

The Truth About Insecurity

It's easy to acknowledge that a girl who flaunts her drop-dead-gorgeous looks has a problem in the area of pride, but am I really saying that a girl who thinks she's completely unattractive and untalented may struggle with the very same issue?

Don't forget!

Here's what I love: Jesus has never let me down. Here's what I hate: Forgetting that fact time and time again.
