You may feel like you have no sense of purpose right now, even if you did before. Perhaps you have a general sense of direction, but feel unsure what God specifically wants you to do next. Maybe you know your calling, yet struggle to see how it fits in this season.Whether you’re still seeking clarity, discerning your next steps, or already on your path, you may wonder what moving forward looks like right where you are. When progress feels slow, or we feel stuck, it’s not a reflection of our ability or a loss of purpose, but rather the result of what’s happening within us or around us. God’s purpose for you remains, even in difficult seasons, though the pieces might come together differently than you thought.Photo Credit: ©Unsplash/Anthony Tran Thu, 19 Feb 2026 16:41:14 -0500 2026-03-31T01:56:47-04:00 https://www.christianity.com/wiki/current-events/even-teens-are-rethinking-phones-in-the-classroom.html https://www.christianity.com/wiki/current-events/even-teens-are-rethinking-phones-in-the-classroom.html Tanita Tualla Maddox https://www.christianity.com/author/tanita-maddox/ More teenagers are asking for limits on their phone use at school—not because they want rules, but because they want to be free. Here’s how we can guide them toward joy, focus, and spiritual presence in a distracted world.

Jesus did not call people merely to follow rules or adopt religious habits; He invited them into friendship. “I have called you friends,” He said, “for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you” (John 15:15). To know Jesus is to walk with Him, trust Him, and join Him in His redemptive purposes.Being welcomed into God's Kingdom is entirely an act of grace. Through Christ, believers receive forgiveness of sins, are declared righteous before God, and begin a lifelong journey of spiritual growth. Like a seed planted in good soil, new life begins quietly, then grows steadily—roots forming beneath the surface long before fruit appears. The letter to the Ephesians was written to help believers understand both who they are in Christ and how to live out that identity into maturing unity as the body of Christ. Paul's emphasis on spiritual maturity was especially vital for believers living in Ephesus—a city steeped in pagan and occult practices. His call to "live a life worthy of the calling you have received" (Ephesians 4:1) wasn't abstract theology; it was urgent, practical instruction for Christians surrounded by spiritual darkness.Photo Credit: ©Unsplash/Omar Lopez Thu, 29 Jan 2026 15:45:00 -0500 2026-03-31T01:56:47-04:00 https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-life/9-things-you-can-do-now-to-prepare-yourself-for-seasonal-depression.html https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-life/9-things-you-can-do-now-to-prepare-yourself-for-seasonal-depression.html Britt Mooney https://www.christianity.com/author/britt-mooney/ The time to prepare is now, in the autumn before the winter months. If we wait until the depression hits, we’ll be less likely to be proactive and advocate for our own mental health and the health of others.

Let’s face it. This has not been an easy year, and we’re not exiting with peace and joy. While sometimes we groan about how the world is just getting worse and worse, keep in mind that the era into which Jesus was born was also dark and evil. While the nativity is remembered with starlight and cuddly animals, instead, Jesus was born into a time of political turmoil. Rome and the Jewish nation were on tentative terms. King Herod was willing to slaughter every son under the age of two in order to eliminate Jesus, a potential threat to what Herod perceived as his throne, and the Jews were looking for a Messiah who came as a warrior, a champion, and a King.The world was dark then. This December is dark today.So how can we be the light of Christ in this darkness? When Christmas is a facade of twinkling merriment, but beneath it, we fear for the safety of our families, we struggle to make ends meet, we worry about the trajectory of politics and religion, and we are exhausted, lonely, uncertain, or stricken with grief.Photo credit: ©SWN/DALLE AI Thu, 18 Dec 2025 12:32:32 -0500 2026-03-31T01:56:47-04:00
