There is a secret ingredient that builds community faster than anything else: admitting our mistakes. But why in the world would anybody risk honesty? Because it is worth the risk!

There are four benefits of being honest about our errors, our feelings, our faults, and our fears.

The Bible says in James 5:16, “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.”...

Do you feel nothing but despair? Do you think thoughts of defeat? Do you wonder why you keep struggling and stumbling with the same weakness, hardship, or sin? Do strongholds have a firm hold on you?

The Bible tells us that the enemy (Satan), who the Bible describes as a thief, comes to steal, kill and destroy. He wants us to live our lives in defeat, and one of the ways he does this is through strongholds. These strongholds can affect our attitudes, emotional state, and our reactions to differe...

What do you see when you look into the mirror? Do you see a joyful and genuine person? Do you see one overwhelmed with stress and guilt from past decisions? Do you see an individual who is doing their very best to be the person God would have them to be?

A few years ago, my wife and I abandoned our daily routine and escaped to Abu Dhabi and Dubai for a week. One night, after enjoying an evening of fun on a 6-hour desert safari tour, I became very thirsty and started looking for a bottle of water...

Adam and Eve had the perfect relationship with God in the Garden of Eden, but they settled for less by eating from the forbidden tree. Judas was in the perfect position for greatness, but he settled for less by betraying Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. As for me, there have been times I have settled for less by focusing on worldly things rather than the Word of God.

Over the last ten years, I noticed that very few are committed to God’s best. All too often, individuals respond to their future...

Question: Dr. Tony, I’m a new Christian, and I have many questions about Jesus. Some of the stuff I’m learning is difficult to understand and believe. Some of my questions are: was Jesus even real, or what was he like on earth? I heard he was a Jewish rabbi. Is that true? Who did Jesus claim to be, and why did he die?

Answer:
As a new Christian, I know these are exciting and confusing times for you. I completely understand you may be asking a lot of qu...

 “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:23-24

This revelation is so powerful that if even one person at the lowest level job gets it, it can change an entire...

For many of us, insecurity has become the foundation ofour conventional thinking, bearing a resemblance to humbleness and obedience.In others, it looks like boldness and disobedience, never acknowledging amistake, and continuously assigning guilt.

Worry is primarily a matter of control. It’s an attempt to manage the uncontrollable.

We can’t control the economy; therefore, we worry about it. We can’t control our children; consequently, we worry about them. We have no control over the future, so we worry about it. Worry never solves a problem! It’s like simmering without doing anything.

In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus presents four reasons why you shouldn’t be worried.

Worry is unreasonable. Matthew 6:25 says, “Therefore I tell y...

Yesterday, I allowed someone to make me feel like a useless piece of garbage the other day because this is someone I love and respect; the experience was all the more traumatic and terrible.
