Fighting for Faith When Doubts Abound
Sarah tells us how important it is to fight for faith when doubts abound. “There’s a pervasive belief that subtly infiltrates my thought life.

Flashback: Could You Use Some Joy Today?
Hoarding wealth for ourselves gives far less lasting satisfaction than contributing wealth to God’s causes. Where we tend to associate joy with how much we get, higher joy comes from how freely we give.
No matter what good truths you have to teach, no one will thank you if you do not speak kindly.
—C.H. Spurgeon
