    There is a distinct difference between happiness and the joy that Christ offers in a loving and obedient relationship with Him.

    WHY DO SO MANY CHRISTIANS FAIL TO EXPERIENCE REAL JOY AND REAL PEACE? COULD IT BE THAT TOO MANY ARE CAUGHT UP IN THE “PASSING PLEASURES” OF THIS WORLD? MAYBE THEY HAVE LET THE WAYS OF LIFE DISTRACT THEM AWAY FROM FAITH AND GOD. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE CALLING THEMSELVES A “CHRISTIAN” ...read more

    Joy In Trials?!

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 18, 2022
     | 2,664 views

    The idea that we could find joy in trials seems very strange. But it makes sense - and it could radically change the way we respond to the trials that inevitably come.

How can we understand it? The general ...read more

    Joy has often been defined as happiness; as a feeling; true, Biblical Joy has more to do with Faith than it has to do with feeling.

    Biblical Joy (James 1:2-4; NKJV) “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, [3] knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.
