Haven Today

Have you ever thought of your daily tasks as a job assigned to you by God Himself? It's so easy to mentally separate our work from our identity in Christ, but God wants us to see things differently.

The phrase "in Christ" appears dozens of times in the Bible and is often found on the lips of Christians. But what does it really mean?

We often focus on the big events of life, but our lives are really lived in the moments in between. Our normal day-to-day thoughts and decisions need the light of Christ more than we think.

When something seems too good to be true, it probably is. That's why so often we are disappointed in our heroes. But there is one hero who has never fallen, and never will.

People who don't believe in God tend like the statement, "God is love." And although that's true, we need to know more. God gives His ultimate definition of love in a way no one would have expected.

Worship is part of life. And everybody worships something. The only question is: what? Our words and deeds reveal the true object of our worship.

God created everything in the universe to shout for joy and give glory to its Creator. If God made us for this, why is it often so difficult to do? And how can we get better at it?

Do you know a prodigal? Are you a prodigal yourself? We are prone to wander away from Jesus, but fortunately He comes after us because He loves us. What is His message to those who have wandered?

Growing up doesn't mean bullying goes away. Regardless of our age, we all encounter pushy people who intimidate and threaten us. God has something to say to both the bully and their victims.

Parents protect their children as long as possible, but eventually we all must face the hurt and pain of a fallen world. One truth can make the difference if our hearts believe it: Jesus loves me!

We like rules. They tell us when we are being good and when we are being bad, but Jesus has a bigger agenda for people of all ages ... His agenda is grace.

Have you ever heard someone suggest that if you tithe faithfully God will reward you financially? Does that teaching align with the Bible? The words of Jesus have the final say.

Have you ever heard about the prayer of Jabez? Jabez asked God to enlarge his territory and God answered his prayer. Does that mean we should do the same and expect God to increase our wealth?

Sometimes we believe things that sound biblical without ever really examining them for truth. When it comes to money issues there are ten myths that many Christians believe. Do you know what they are?

What does money make you think of? Taxes? Debt? Payday? Jesus said to give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. But what does Jesus mean when he says this? And what else does he say about money?
