Yakobus 4:3-5

Have you ever wanted to get inside the mind of a pastor? Well, here’s your chance! The founding and senior pastor of Life.Church, Craig Groeschel, gives us an inside look at his daily routine as he reads through the last four verses he highlighted in his Bible. Allow your mind to be renewed as you read these Scriptures along with him, and find out why he chose to highlight them in the first place.

Menjadi pengikut Kristus bukanlah sekadar mengantongi "tiket keselamatan" dan hidup selalu terasa nyaman dan lancar. Ada harga yang dibayar untuk menjadi pengikut-Nya yang sejati, yaitu menyangkal diri dan memikul salib. Melalui renungan ini, kita mau belajar dari teladan Yesus selama hidup di dunia. Yesus adalah sosok yang rendah hati, penuh kasih, dan penuh kuasa. Tetapi Dia juga adalah sosok yang mengalami penderitaan selama hidup-Nya. Melalui Dia, kita dikuatkan untuk menghadapi penderitaan di dunia, karena Dia telah menang atas segalanya.

Just as a physically unhealthy heart can destroy your body, an emotionally and spiritually unhealthy heart can destroy you and your relationships. For the next five days, let Andy Stanley help you look within yourself for four common enemies of the heart — guilt, anger, greed, and jealousy — and teach you how to remove them.

When the devil knocks, you don’t always hear it. Right? He’d rather sneak in an open door. He’s the deceiver, destroyer, and accuser who will do anything to cover up God’s love and truth. He didn’t want this Life.Church Bible Plan written, and He definitely doesn’t want you or your LifeGroup to read it. But that’s another battle God's about to win.
