Sometimes we are deceived by the world to find our identity in external things. But our true identity must be found in Christ alone.

Discernment is not an end in itself. The purpose of discernment is to make the right kinds of decisions.

Sometimes we need others to discern well.

Sometimes we need others to help us discern God's will.

Not all feelings or sensations are the result of our thinking. Some of them simply come from our bodies or our gut. We may sometimes refer to them as instincts, gut feelings, intuition, or sixth sense, etc. But they are real and we need to discern what they mean.

We all have made various decisions in our lives. Some of them good, while some of them may not be so good. God wants us to grow in our relationship with Him so that we can discern His will better.

God has a purpose for us. Listening and obeying Him each day, with the help of others, will help us discover His purpose for our lives.

God is constantly working to transform us. We need to discern what He is doing so we can cooperate. That's why we need one another.

We often celebrate Easter Sunday just like everyone else. But do we really understand its implications personally?

Often we forget the true meaning of the Gospel. That's why we have Holy Week. We need to be reminded always of what we truly believe: Jesus died for our sins to give us eternal life.

When we truly understand God's presence with us, we can then be truly honest with ourselves, with others, and with God Himself.

A lot of people misunderstand God's knowledge of them. That's why they fail to be honest with themselves, with others, and especially with God.

God's purpose for the word of God is to transform us, not just inform us.

We need to know the truth because only the truth can set us free. Whenever we approach the Bible, let us do so with the deep desire to know the truth.

God is speaking to us through the Holy Spirit using human authors. What does that mean and how does that affect how we approach the Bible?

To experience life-change, we need to understand that God wants to speak to us through the Bible.

After talking about all the principles and mindsets, it's time to talk about how to actually practice the Sabbath.

There are always hindrances to practicing any spiritual discipline. How do we overcome these hindrances?

Why practice the Sabbath? It's not just because the Lord commands us. There are actually benefits to keeping it.

Before we can enjoy our Sabbath Day with the Lord, we need to understand what we mean when we say "Sabbath."

We all want to be significant. We don't want our lives to count for nothing. But this desire for significance can often lead us astray, especially when we think that our significance lies somewhere (or in someone) else other than God.

We all have the desire to love and be loved. If this desire is met, so we think, we're happy and fulfilled. But if it's not, we feel sad and depressed. We feel that life is unfair. We become desperate for love. We manipulate people or demand that people love us or else. The result is a lot of unhappiness on all sides. Could it be that we misunderstand this desire?

Everyone wants to be happy, right? But what does it mean to be happy? If you attain your idea of happiness, will you really be happy? Many people sabotage their basic desire to be happy by looking at the wrong things (or people) to find their happiness. True happiness is found in an interactive relationship with God through a living and active faith in Jesus Christ. The key to happiness is not to...

We all desire to be free. But sometimes Satan uses that legitimate desire to lead us astray. Instead of experiencing true freedom with God, Satan tempts us to find false freedom outside of God's will. The result is catastrophe for us and for those we love.
