A Royal Invitation

By Linda Tancs

There’s a saying among aristocrats that a royal invitation is actually a command. In other words, it’s more than just an honor to receive a monarch’s invitation to something; there’s an expectation of acceptance. When it comes to our King of kings, however, a royal invitation is just that. We’re invited into relationship with Him but it’s always our choice (Joshua 24:15). Make the right choice (Deuteronomy 30:19); don’t ignore His invitation.

The Good Life

By Linda Tancs

How often do you think of the good life as one marked by things like a nice house, fancy car or expensive vacations? It’s arguably not as often that the “good life” is thought of as one well lived, marked by kindness toward others, charity and community service. But how you live is just as important as what you achieve—even more so, in fact.

Is your life grounded in the things of this world or in God (Joshua 24:15)? The good life is even better than you think when you center it around God.
