It calls us to give up our desires, resources, and time. This devotional shows our need for Christ's equipping to develop a servant's heart. Based on the book "Neighborology: Practicing Compassion as a Way of Life" by David Apple.

The Lent Project is an initiative of Biola University's Center for Christianity, Culture and the Arts. Each daily devotion includes a portion of Scripture, a devotional, a prayer, a work of visual art or a video, a piece of music, and a poem plus brief commentaries on the artworks and artists. The Seven Last Words of Christ refers to the seven short phrases uttered by Jesus on the cross, as gathered from the four Christian gospels. This devotional project connects word, image, voice and song into daily meditations on these words.

For foster and adoptive parents, or any battle-weary parent in warfare for their child.

One of the greatest struggles many Christians face has nothing to do with the avoidance or rejection of any one sin, but rather with the neglect of intentional, meaningful prayer. Setting aside the time to pray can be a challenge. What’s more, making sure to pray the right way and for the right reasons (Matthew 6:5-18) can be just as challenging. “Being P.R.A.Y.E.R.F.U.L.” is designed with such challenges in mind.

Over the centuries, millions have been stirred by Christ’s lessons on the Law of Love, the Golden Rule, forgiving one’s enemies, and bearing good fruit. But are these famous words in Luke 6 really just a collection of inspiring moral teaching? Or do they offer us something even greater? In this 9-day plan, we learn how they can lead to a transformation that can only be accomplished by Jesus Himself.

Welcome to “The Fruit of Hope,” a look at the fruits of the Spirit as found in Galatians 5 and how every single one of them points to the hope we have in Christ.

Jesus said, “Love your enemies.” If the 2.2 billion Christians in the world did so, a contagious revolution would commence. Have you learned how?

In these lessons learn the infrastructure needed within our beings to spontaneously and authentically love our enemies.

When life is hard, you don't know what to pray, or when words aren't enough, I hope you will discover the power of praying God's Word. He loves it when you speak His truths back to Him.
