Favorite 10 Jeremy Camp Songs

Jeremy Camp is one of my favorite Christian artists because so many of his songs are catchy, easy to listen to and pack a powerful message. He glorifies God through music and this comes through strongly if you have seen him perform live. If you know about his past with losing his first wife, you know that his life has not been free of challenges, but he leans on Christ for strength. His ninth album, I Will Follow, was released earlier this month and it has already topped the U.S. Billboard Christian charts.

5 Awesome Things I Experienced At Winter Jam 2015

5 Awesome Things I Experienced At Winter Jam 2015

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to attend Winter Jam 2015 and was so grateful I went! This was my first year going, so I didn’t exactly know what to expect. I knew most of the bands that would be performing, including Francesca Battistelli and Jeremy Camp. The group I went with had gone in previous years, so they recommended becoming a citizen of Jam Nation in order to walk right in without waiting in line – Grand Rapids is freezing in January! I left the concert more blessed than I could have imagined and still reflect on seeing the incredible performances and hearing Tony Nolan share inspiration and encouragement.

Top 10 Third Day Worship Songs

Top 10 Third Day Worship Songs

Third Day is one of my favorite Christian bands. They have released 11 albums over the 30 years they have been performing and continue to bring us great hits! In 2009 they were inducted in the Georgia Music Hall of Face and have sold over 7 million albums in the U.S. They have also won an American Music Award, four Grammy Awards and 24 Gospel Music Awards. I wonder if Mac Powell and Mark Lee thought they would continue playing music professional after starting the band with former member Billy Wilkins as high-schoolers in 1991?

10 Great Christian Contemporary Easter Songs

10 Great Christian Contemporary Easter Songs

Easter is a time to reflect on many aspects of my Christian walk, including Christ’s death and resurrection. What does this mean to me? I owe Christ so much and what He sacrificed makes it possible to have hope and continue moving forward when things may look bleak. Christ only walked this earth and actively ministered for three years, but his impact was unprecedented. He was human, which meant He endured temptation, pain and what must have seemed like torture at times. Think about Jesus’ many challenges. He focused on the greater good and the end outcome. How does this fit into your life? Do you focus on the end outcome while dealing with your daily struggles?

Today's Devotional

A Prayer to Overcome Procrastination and Laziness - Your Daily Prayer - October 23

The temptation to be lazy is ever-present. Just like any sin, laziness is exchanging long-term benefits for partaking in temporary pleasure. It is a seemingly easy road, but it leads to consequences.
