  Did you know you can read Jesus's Sermon on the Mount in about eighteen minutes? Yet packed into this short talk are more life-changing and startlingly original teachings than anywhere else in Scripture. In it, Jesus dives past the surface into the heart of what we need and desire—from God, ourselves, and one another. It's the spiritual straight talk we need about the things that matter most in life. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from decades of study, Dr. Robert Jeffress breaks down Jesus's most well-known (yet least-followed) teachings about happiness, faith, relationships, sex, reconciliation, prayer, money, and more. He shows how we often misunderstand and misapply these verses and unpacks exactly what Jesus was teaching us about our own hearts and minds. 
   
   
   
  If you long to take your Christian walk to the next level, it's time to grasp these biblical truths that have the power to change your life.

  "HINTS TO YOUNG STUDENTS OF OCCULTISM" is the title the editor of the American Theosophist, Louis William Rogers, has chosen for his first book on theosophy. The preface gives an idea of the purpose of the work: 
  "The growing interest in the higher life, and the general search for information that is helpful in attaining it, is sufficient reason for the publication of this little book. The purpose has not been to write of the subject in hand either exhaustively or systematically but to put forward helpful suggestions for taking some easy steps in self-development. 
  "Many who earnestly desire to escape from the bondage of the lower nature and rise to spiritual illumination are at a loss how to proceed, or even how to practically apply to daily life the occult information they may have gained by general reading. This little volume is an effort to assist them-hints on how to utilize time and energy-a few guide-boards in the evolutionary wilderness at doubtful turns in the road, indicating the advantageous way to go and displaying warning signs across some attractive by-ways that lead to perilous places." 
  The basis of the work is a series of articles that appeared last year in this magazine, and which have been revised, rearranged and extended. Among the subjects discussed in the twelve chapters are Self Examination, Original Thinking, Persistent Effort, Thought Assimilation an Essential to Soul Growth, Safe and Dangerous Mental Conditions, The One Protection Against Danger, The Conditions of Spiritual Progress, Conquering Delusions, Faults to be Guarded Against, The Right Road and the Wrong One.

  Understanding trustworthiness is a multifaceted journey that begins with self-reflection and extends outward into every aspect of personal and professional relationships. At its core, trustworthiness embodies a steadfast commitment to honesty, ethical behavior, and consistency, which collectively create a solid foundation for dependable character. Recognizing the importance of trust, individuals who are trustworthy not only honor their promises but also cultivate an environment of reliability in their interactions with others. This journey requires introspection, awareness of personal values, and an unyielding dedication to doing what is right, even in challenging circumstances. 
  When we examine the nature of trustworthiness, it becomes evident that it is more than simply avoiding deceit. It is about aligning one’s actions with deeply held principles, ensuring that words and deeds resonate with a sense of sincerity and transparency. A trustworthy person understands that their reputation is built on small, everyday acts of integrity, whether it is keeping a promise to a friend, fulfilling obligations at work, or providing honest feedback when it is most needed. In doing so, they establish a track record that not only builds self-confidence but also inspires confidence in those who depend on them. 
  Moreover, trustworthiness is an active pursuit that requires continuous effort and self-improvement. It demands that individuals remain vigilant against the temptations of shortcuts and the allure of expediency, always choosing the ethical path even when it may seem inconvenient. Such a mindset reinforces the idea that being dependable is a lifelong commitment, one that is enriched by learning from mistakes and growing through experience. This commitment forms the cornerstone of all meaningful relationships, whether in the context of personal life, the workplace, or broader community interactions.

  We Are Being Lied To 
   
  It's time to get honest with ourselves. Culture's beauty standards are messed up. We all know it, and we all think we can resist the pull to look a certain way. Yet most of us--our daughters and nieces too--still strive for a broken kind of beauty and feel I'm. not. good. enough. 
   
  For Melissa Johnson, a marriage and family therapist, this lie eventually led to battling an eating disorder. Through that experience, she saw that chasing broken beauty breaks women in so many ways. She also realized that true, soul-deep beauty is not impossible--it abounds in us and all around us. And now Melissa's on a mission to help you 
   
  · uncover the hidden damage cultural lies about beauty have on your mind and soul 
  · reconnect with God, in whose image you are made 
  · walk away from shame and striving 
  · love yourself--and others--unconditionally 
   
  True beauty is the fullness of life we are longing for. It's the reality that blows our minds, affirms our true worth, and invites us into an adventure that meets our deepest longings. And it's true beauty that will save us if we open our eyes to it. 
   
  "Nothing is more shattered or more misunderstood in our lives than beauty. On our own, we are unable to recapture God's vision for it, and every generation needs guides who can reintroduce it to us again for the first time. In Melissa Johnson, we have such a guide."--CURT THOMPSON, MD, author of The Soul of Desire and The Soul of Shame
