Have you ever gotten something in the mail that read, "You have been chosen to be a part of this club"? I get those invitations all the time. I might look at them to see if there are benefits. But most of the time, there's nothing much to them.

Today, I would like to invite you to join a club. This is a club we all need to join. I've been a member for many years. It's called The Until Club. Its motto is "I cannot be defeated, and I will not quit." This club has been around a long time. David wrote about it in Psalm 57.

Timeless Teachings

Learning how to pray effectively is one of the most important things believers can ever do in their Christian walk. Really, we cannot be successful in fulfilling God's purpose in our lives if we do not know how to pray according to biblical principles.

Have you ever been driving or walking somewhere and found yourself completely lost? No matter which way you turned, nothing looked familiar and you had no idea where you were. Do you remember the feeling of relief when you finally found the right way?

Perhaps you're feeling lost in life as this new year begins. Maybe you don't know where you're going or what you're supposed to do. But there is Someone Who does know. God tells us in Jeremiah 29:11, "I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for" (Message).

Whenever we lose a loved one, we are forced to make many adjustments. While some adjustments are practical and external, others are emotional and internal. Some may seem trivial—others monumental. Any and every adjustment can be difficult to make, simply because change itself is difficult.

Human beings are creatures of habit. We prefer to live in our comfort zone. We arrange our life until we're comfortable; then we want everything to stay put.
