Joy--our lifeline and strength through life's suffering.C.S. Lewis said, "Joy is the serious business of heaven." Too often, however, joy is missing from our lives. When we look to Scripture, we see examples of early Christians thriving even amid hardship and persecution. How do we recapture that deep and stubborn joy? Pastor Chip Ingram takes us to God's Word, helping us shift away from self-centric happiness and toward lasting joy found in God's goodness. "Choosing joy in the midst of difficulties goes against all our instincts . . . But if you look at your circumstances through the lens of God's goodness--His power and promises--that's a higher perspective."You cannot choose your life's circumstances, but you can choose how to respond.

Many Christians are skeptical about what creativity might do to their faith. At the same time, a lot of creatives worry about what Christianity might do to their talents. But it doesn't have to be this way. God and creativity are not in opposition. Far from it. God is the creator of creativity. He made you creative. This is why your creativity needs theology and why your theology needs creativity. If we really want to know and practice creativity to its fullest, we should begin where creativity begins. We should begin with God.When we do, we find that where many Christians have stayed silent, God still speaks. And where the world so often distorts, God gives clarity. Now is the time to listen. Now is the time to see creativity from God's perspective.God is reclaiming creativity. For His glory. And for our good.

A captive in a pagan land, Daniel resolved to faithfully follow God while also serving in a nation that hated his God. Can we do the same?

In The Church in Babylon, Dr. Erwin Lutzer will encourage you to do just that, by answering the pressing questions of our day like: How do we love, lead, and serve with Christ's heart and mind in today's Babylon?What are the five false gospels in our churches and how do we stay true to our Christian witness? How do we respond to transgenderism and Muslim immigration with biblical truth and compassion?We are moral and spiritual exiles in a culture growing increasingly hostile toward Christianity.
