Heartbeat

Have you ever heard the phrase, “advanced gratitude”? It’s the ability to appreciate the difficult events in your life because of what you end up gaining from them as a result. https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/heartbeat Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us .

Today, students are turning in essays and taking credit for something they didn’t create. Now imagine as they continue onto college, and then the workforce, only to be found out that they never took the time to learn for themselves. It’s the newest form of plagiarism. As children of God, we can behave similarly when we declare ourselves self-made, or we begin to celebrate our talents a...

People with fewer social ties had significantly higher risks of dying from heart disease and cancer. Dr. Claire Young contends that social isolation is a source of chronic stress that puts us at risk. Hebrews 10:25 says, “Some people have gotten out of the habit of meeting together for worship, but we must not do that.  We should keep on encouraging each other…” Don’t...

Sometimes we just want to be left alone! But- If we shut ourselves off from the world, we can’t be much of a light to people in desperate need of hope. So, of course, these notions are incompatible with words of Jesus found in Matthew chapter 22 when one of the Pharisees asked Jesus which is the greatest commandment in the Law? Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all you...

Romans, chapter 6 says, Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/heartbeat Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us .

If you feel stuck in a rut- God is asking you to start dreaming again. Not for wealth or possessions but for the richness of a life only He can provide. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/heartbeat Discover more Christian podcas...

We thought we knew the plan God had in this season of life, when suddenly, an unexpected detour comes up. We doubt. We question. And guess what? This is normal! It’s ok to question God. In Mark chapter 9 we see a desperate father doubt if Jesus can save his son. But Jesus lovingly replies to the father, “Everything is possible for one who believes” So, if your life has taken an u...

Work is never really finished. There will always be another task, another deadline, another email to respond to. But when we bring our stress to Jesus, He offers us His peace. One that surpasses all understanding. So, this week, instead of letting stress control you, pause. Pray. Take a breath and remember: God is in control. Stop living for the weekend and start living for Him. https://salvationa...

Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted to save a friend from a self-destructive behavior? Maybe it’s an addiction, or an unhealthy habit. This can be a very delicate dynamic as you try to convince your friend you have nothing but the best intentions. We often think we can save ourselves. But the truth is, we are lost, and drowning in our own sin without the saving grace of Jesus...

Much like community gardens- our faith deepens and grows stronger when we’re in community with other believers. This is why being connected to a local church is so vital to our Christian walk. So, if you haven’t been to a church in a while I want to encourage you to find a church body you can get connected with. Maybe find your local Salvation Army church. We would love to see you this...

Maybe lately you’ve been in a terrible mood and can’t place why. Look at the conversations you’re having, who you’re hanging out with, what shows you’ve been watching. If you’re seeing a pattern of negativity, it may be time for change. In the words of the Apostle Paul, fill your mind with things that are true, noble, authentic. Focus on the beautiful, not the u...

The Bible says that God will meet all our needs. It tells us to put our trust in God rather than money.

Most of us live in a world where perfectionism rules. We have a hard time letting loose because what if it’s not the right thing to do? We have a hard time playing and simply doing something because it delights us. God, however, is a God of delight. And, he invented play. It’s our ability to just enjoy what he has placed before us to enjoy. Learn more about the show at https://salvatio...

Jesus Christ paid our sin debt, once and for all. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. Jesus thought you were worth the weighty cost of a grueling death on the cross.

In the gospels Jesus tells his listeners that the second greatest commandment is to love one another as you love yourself. In a culture of rugged individualism, perhaps the most loving thing we can do is circle up around those who are weak in our community and protect them just as you would want to be protected.

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. The most beautiful person you can be won’t be found on the outside.
