Feb 20, 2013 John 5:24 When you imagine God's face…what do you see? If you visualize anger, you're wrong. All God's anger at sin was poured on Christ at the cross. This means if you're in Christ, you're free from God's wrath because of Christ's death and resurrection. LifeTrac

Feb 18, 2013 Matthew 10:29-31 God not only moves in unusual ways, He also moves on uneventful days. He's just as involved in the mundane events as He is in the miraculous. His hand is in it all. LifeTrac

Feb 14, 2013 Matthew 11:28-30 When you worry, it's like you're carrying around a heavy burden. You're weighed down with anxiety and you can't think clearly.

Feb 11, 2013 Philippians 4:5 If you want to relax and get rid of anxiety, you need to lighten up. Are you typically harsh or critical? Try cultivating a more gentle and understanding approach to life. “Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.” LifeTrac

Feb 8, 2013 Romans 6:6-7 “Whose slave are you?” It's a great question. Are you a slave to work? Possessions? People's opinions? Bad habits? The good news is you don't have to be chained to any of these. As a child of God, you're free. LifeTrac

Feb 6, 2013 Ephesians 4:11-13 We all have special gifts and abilities from God. While it's good to venture out of our comfort zones, here's a humorous illustration of why we shouldn't force people to go too far outside the area of their gifting. LifeTrac

Jan 31, 2013 Mark 10:42-44 We meet the same people every day but we often don't even know their names. Today, take time to greet the grocery store cashier or bank teller by name. A few words of kindness go a long way. LifeTrac

Jan 28, 2013 1 John 2:15-17 You may be tempted to isolate yourself from the world but we're meant to live in it. People need to see the reality of Christ in you. The answer's not isolation, it's insulation. LifeTrac

Jan 24, 2013 Joel 2:25-27 When you don't deal with the trash from your past, it can eat away at you like an army of locusts. God is not waiting to condemn you for past wrongs. He's waiting to embrace and forgive you. He meets you where you're at today. LifeTrac

Jan 10, 2013 Exodus 33:12-14 Chuck Swindoll tells us to remain students for the rest of our lives. He says to those in education, “press on; never quit. Never stop studying. Never stop reading.

Jan 7, 2013 Romans 10:9-10 It's hard to imagine what heaven will be like. But the Bible does say it's a real place and there's nothing you can do to earn your place there. You just need to accept God's free gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. LifeTrac
