Talking about faith should be so simple. But there is a kind of cultural Christian lingo that doesn’t translate. We can no longer assume our friends understand words such as grace or gospel. Others, like lost and sin, have become so negative they are nearly conversation-enders. If you’ve ever felt this tension, maybe you need to join author Jonathan Merritt for a little spiritual speech therapy. In this 5-day devotional, we’ll learn how to speak God from scratch. Together, let’s discover a faith worth talking about.

We know God tells us that we are new creations, and yet so often it doesn’t feel like it. We end up pretending to have everything together, while inside we are in deep pain.

This study will look at how the restorative nature of God can change our marriages.

We live under a daily assault of thoughts and ideas–some true and some false. And perhaps the most dangerous ideas we allow to live in our minds are the lies we believe about ourselves. They magnify failure, steal our joy, keep us from love, and prevent us from realizing all of God’s plans for us. Join us as we call out the lies and replace them with God’s truth.

Although Jesus told us in this world we would find trouble, He also offered us ways to overcome in overwhelming times.

“Family” might be the people you lived with growing up or the people you’re living with now. You might imagine the family you want to have someday.

Whether it's the TV in the background or the constant pinging on our phones, the noise and pace of modern life can be overwhelming. The cacophony of messages that permeate our culture produces an inner restlessness that says, “You should be doing more, saying more, and posting more.” In this 5-day plan, Denise J. Hughes offers readers an introduction to the “quiet life” that Paul discusses in 1 Thessalonians.

Missionaries, pastors, and the average Christian will encounter suffering in their lives and the lives of those they love and serve. This devotion is designed to look at real-life stories illustrating how God uses suffering to teach, guide and mold us to be more like Jesus. By God’s grace, we can glorify God as we embrace suffering in our lives, knowing that Jesus willingly laid down His life for us.

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.
