When we hear someone calling out to us, what is our first reaction?

Purpose
What if we set aside just one thing today to do something with a greater purpose?
The Kool-Aid Man
We might not always deliver kid's drinks, but we still have opportunities to aid others.
Hypocrisy vs. Humility
The very essence of the Christian belief starts with admitting that we fall short of God's ideal, and need help. How well is this message communicated to others, though?
Battle Ready
Regardless of what its enemies throw at it, the body of Jesus Christ - the collection of His followers on earth - is destined to win the battle.
The Power of Choice
Sometimes, the difference in the paths our lives take depends on a choice that we make at a key time. The good news is that the most important choice remains open for us to seize, even if we previously made the wrong decision.
What Does Washing Feet Look Like Today?
If washing others' feet isn't part of our daily routine (unlike first-century disciples), through what sort of humble service might we be called to follow Jesus' example instead?

Wisdom Check
Advice is everywhere around us, so how do we screen out real wisdom from the spam?
Tastes Like Purple
After growing weary of a diet of chemicals and being bombarded with superlatives, where can we find the satisfaction of true abundance?
Cracked Screen
Sometimes, we need to look at others' lives from a different angle (and let them do the same in return) to find - and fix - the hidden fractures.
Putting On a Good Face
Where is it written that Christians should artificially look or act a certain way to make it look like being a Christian is always great?

While we may sometimes have a filter in the way, there is nothing like inhaling pure air...or unfiltered truth.
