We've all heard the thought-provoking challenge to face life's decisions asking, "What would Jesus do?"

There are times in our lives when we simply get to the point that we say, "I can't take it anymore!" This depression is just too dark. This marriage is just too hard. The job I lost, the family member I buried, the junk I'm going through. Deep down inside your heart you say, "I quit. I'm done." And though you may go through the motions on the outside, you've just had it. Your mind says, "I've got to trust God," but your heart says, "I've heard it all before, and it's not working for me." You begin to drift - from people and from God.

Nobody likes a hypocrite, and nobody wants to be one. But for some reason, living an honest, authentic life is tougher than it sounds.

If you'd like to know how to live a winsome, whole, and holy life, join Chip Ingram for this series from Ephesians 5.

Who is the Jesus of the Bible? What would Jesus say to today's businessman? To a prostitute in one of our red-light districts? To a group of political leaders if he met them at a summit? Or even to Barbara Walters in a primetime interview?

Life is hard, and we struggle with these hard times. We have difficulties with money, relationships, jobs, and just living in a broken world.

Frightening to some, freedom to others, singleness is a fact of life for millions of adults today. But many of the issues surrounding singleness are unclear.

In everyday life Christians are faced with moral dilemmas. When those circumstances come up, what do we do? Where do we find the answers? Who in the Bible can relate to these moral dilemmas? 1 Peter relates to moral choices in a fallen world by showing us how to live out God's values, even as they clash with the world's values. Peter faced many difficult situations and shows how to overcome them. His experiences provide inspiration for Christians to hold firm in a world that constantly asks us to conform.

Most of us live very complex lives that move too fast, deliver too little, and demand too much. We often succumb to the push and pull of all the demands. We lack time for God, relationships, or ourselves. We know we need to change our pattern of life, but we either put it off or just don't know how to get started. It is possible to break free from the high-speed, high-pressure, high-demand, guilt-producing disease of our lives. The answer is counterintuitive, and it's found in 1 Corinthians 13.
