Are you going through life and not really knowing how to live? The Bible talks about this, specifically in Ecclesiastes. I think of that book every time I hear Audioslave’s song, “Show Me How to Live.”

I Need Somebody to Show Me How to Live – for Real

One of the worst fates is going through life and not ever knowing how to live. I mean genuinely knowing how to live fully with freedom to be you and pursue your purpose. The Audioslave song, Show Me How To Live is one that always gets me pondering that premise. Some...

Bad moods are an inevitable part of the human condition. Take time to stop and consider their ripple effect, and how much more valuable the impact on others, if you were to be disciplined enough to counter your condition with positive moods.

Moodiness and Bad Moods… and Why They’re Stupid!

Bad moods are inevitable. Some of us find our way into them more often than others, but it happens to us all. It may be caused by how we are feeling, events that happen, as a response to stress, or just because. Heck, I have been so moody, it seems like I am sometimes...

I wonder if our YOLO culture will produce no regrets or more regrets for people approaching the ends of their lives. We may never know, but we should give thought to our response in our own earthly lives, and the eternal implications of the answer.

The Key to Living a Life of No Regrets in a YOLO Culture

There’s no easy way to say this, so here it is; we’re going to die. And when that time approaches for each of us, we want to be able to look back on our lives and say we have no regrets, right? That’s the idealistic scenario, at least. Is it realistic? Maybe. Of...

The Right Personal Influences and Being Mindful of Them

I credit many people as being positive personal influences in my life. Some are long-time influences, while others are short-lived. Likewise, there were many events and happenstance that I pinpoint as personal influences of both me and my entire generation. Take a...

Personal accountability is almost a dying art. I think that is why Edwards make sure to resolve to hold himself accountable to his resolutions.

Resolve to Have Personal Accountability in Life

There often seems to be a lacking of personal accountability in our world. In fact, it seems like personal accountability is a dying skill, much like cursive and Latin. That's why I love that Edwards built personal accountability into his 23rd resolution. And I don't...

Knowing and making the right Christian response to conflict and in small moments shows a grasp of personal discipline, cultivated wisdom, submission to the Holy Spirit, and more.

What’s the Right Christian Response in Big & Small Moments?

One of my former pastors encourages people to ask “what is the right Christian response to this?” when faced with conflict. It's not just conflict, though. It’s an appropriate question for all matters of life. Being able to press pause for questioning an appropriate...

The phrase, Christian Living is probably a publishing industry invention. But it may be one of the most important disciplines of our age. I think Jonathan Edwards’s first resolution captures this ideal for becoming more like the character of Christ and in frequent communion with God.

The Art of Christian Living – World but Not Worldly

I tried to find the origin of the phrase, Christian Living. I failed. It’s not overly surprising to me. However, I have seen it in many avenues over the last several months, so I thought there was a chance. But the art of Christian Living may be one of the most...
