Laugh Again: Experience Outrageous Joy

Philippians—what a masterpiece of correspondence! With joy as its major theme, Paul challenged his friends to live above the drag of difficult circumstances.

The theme of Philippians is the joy that comes from being confident that Christ is in full control.

Anxiety can be an addiction. The good news is that God has provided an escape—a way of liberation to laugh again.

Those who try to follow Jesus’ example, without His strength, find their lives to be hypocritical and frustrating. What is needed in following Christ is balance.

There's only one place in the Bible where Jesus Himself described what it means to be Christlike.
