TAKE 5 | Why Happiness ISN'T the Ultimate Goal
Happiness is temporary, something we can't rely on to be our ultimate goal since it is not reliant on God, but our circumstances. Joy and contentment are wise, solid, real, unbending, and unwavering graces that come from our God.
TAKE FIVE | Mini-Retreat -Rejoicing About or Rejoicing In?
Rejoice. What comes to you when you hear that word? I think of pure innocent, delight and joy - a sunny day where your cheeks hurt from smiling. It's easy to rejoice after we have overcome an obstacle, but when was the last time you rejoiced in a season of struggle with that level of freedom. Today our friends at Unhurried Living remind us of the freedom and joy we have through Christ.
TAKE FIVE | Mini-Retreat - A Master of Life
A lot of times we break our faith up into compartments between our spiritual life and our life at work. But that is not what God wants.

I believe everyone is in full time ministry, not just those who are paid to do 'spiritual work' - what do you think?
