Zealous faith can have a dangerous, dark side. While recent calls for radical Christians have challenged many to be more passionate about their faith, the down side can be a budding arrogance and self-righteousness that “accidentally” sneaks into our outlook.

"Every believer in Jesus Christ deserves the opportunity of personal nurture and development," says LeRoy Eims. But all too often the opportunity isn't there. We neglect the young Christian in our whirl of programs, church services, and fellowship groups. And we neglect to raise up workers and leaders who can disciple young believers into mature and fruitful Christians. In simple, practical, and biblical terms, LeRoy Eims revives the lost art of disciple making.

We are wired for greatness. We pursue it. We chase after it. We climb ladders and run races. But what if we are running the wrong direction? How is greatness defined as a worship leader? Is it the one with the best voice or the biggest stage, the one with the most followers or songs on the charts? The Christian music industry has set the standard for the way many of us define greatness in worship ministry. We take cues from the leaders with the most followers. We sing their songs and aspire to be like them.

The real lie is that you have to be enough, that you have to make yourself be enough. The truth is that God is enough. Join author Tamyra Horst as she leads you on a journey to discover God in your "not enoughness".

Every Christian has experienced days or even seasons of feeling extreme guilt over past or present sins, thinking that God is angry or disgusted with them—sometimes even wondering if they're truly saved. This often happens when believers fixate on their sins while forgetting what Christ has already done on their behalf at the cross. Sam Storms explains it this way: "What consumes us is what we have done by sinning. What ought to consume us is grateful meditation on what God has done with our sinning." Storms addresses this anxiety over sin by reminding believers of the good news of the gospel.
