What does it mean to be born again? There are a variety of opinions on this matter, but to understand what this term truly means, we must go to the Bible. Jesus used this phrase to describe a spiritual change that is required in order to have eternal life. Unless we are born again, we cannot enter heaven.

What is the scariest storm you remember? Maybe a thunderstorm, tornado warning, or hurricane? Regardless of life stage, storms are something we should come to expect as the result of living in a broken world. When faced on our own, storms can quickly become terrifying and overwhelming. But because of who God is, we can have courage even in the midst of our scariest storms.

When we’re facing a difficult decision or situation, it’s important that we distinguish between a trial and a temptation. God allows trials in our lives to purify and strengthen us in our faith and Christian life.
