Motivational

The Bible isn’t a book for spectators. God doesn’t want us to just stare at the words on the page. He wants us to do what it says.

In our society, it seems like no one has enough time. At least, that’s the main reason people say they don’t study the Bible. But if you pay attention, you probably have more time than you realize.

Getting started with Bible study can seem like finding your way through an unfamiliar city. The landmarks don’t make sense. The roads seem strange. But don’t let that discourage you. The journey is worth it.
[Intro]
Before you take the first step, pray. Ask God to make His Word clear to you. You need the Holy Spirit to guide you, to be your Bible-reading GPS. He opens the meaning of Scripture so that it can transform us.
At some point during the journey, you’re going to feel discouraged. But Bible study isn’t something you finish; it’s a lifelong thing. The more you travel, the more you’ll realize the connections between verses and ideas. So, just keep walking.
As you go, be sure to take notes. They’ll act like snapshots of where you’ve been and how far God’s brought you. The My Bible page on our site makes it easy.
But remember: it’s not just about reading. Your goal isn’t to accumulate knowledge. It’s to take action on what you learn. Scripture is alive and cuts deep to change who we are. You’ll be blown away by what it can do.

This video jam titled "Pure Love for Christ" comes from a sermon preached by Dr. Vincent G. Artese titled "Pure Love for Christ".

Here is a sermon jam with audio excerpts of a sermon set to music. It explains both the benefits and the responsibilities that a true son or daughter of God is given through Christ. All must remember that if one enters into a relationship with God through Christ they have entered into the New Covenant. A covenant is an agreement between two parties and there are two parts of the agreement, two parts that must be kept. This sermon jam explains both sides of this covenant. Listen to it, reflect on it, and share it with others. We pray it is a blessing.

The Daily Pulse (Friday, January 17, 2014): Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife; quarrels and insults are ended. Proverbs 22:10 (NIV)

At 17, Jacqui Pierce was taking a joyride on a moped. As she rounded a curb, she lost control and hit a tree.

"The impact was so hard that my face detached from my skull," says Pierce, now 26. "I broke every bone in my face. They couldn't find eye sockets. My eye sockets had powdered."

On Pierce's 11th day in the hospital, her father made the decision to stop life support. Three days later, Jacqui came out of her coma. Today, her skull is made of titanium plates and screws, and she can't open or close her left hand.

A few years ago, Pierce joined her sister at CrossFit Rutherford in Tennessee. Today, she's snatching and cleaning and jerking with one arm, and she's jumping on 20-inch boxes.
