Unexpected
Life can have its twists and turns, and often we find ourselves faced with circumstances that are wholly unexpected, and sometimes unwanted. But as Christians, we can face the unexpected with peace and joy because we know that behind it all is a perfectly wise, loving God who has already promised to use all things for our good and His glory.
Soul vs. Substance
In the Bible, word choice is never accidental. In Proverbs 10:3, there is a comparison drawn, but with an important difference.
Christian Unity
Ephesians 4 tells us to walk worthy of God’s calling, and even tells us what that will look like in our lives. But the overarching theme of the chapter is unity as Christians, first with God, then with one another. So what does that unity look like?
Who is the “Main Character” of Your Life?
We each see life from our own point of view, through our own eyes, but are we really the main character?
Feeding on Foolishness
Social Media is an easy way to pass the time or decompress after a busy day. But that very easiness holds a clue to a pitfall Proverbs warns us about.
The Promise and the Person
When the man came to Jesus in John 4, asking for his son to be healed, he believed Jesus’ promise. But that wasn’t the end of the story.
Tasting God’s Goodness
As Christians, we know that the way to be close to God is to spend time with Him, praying and reading the Bible. But that time with God accomplishes more than we might think.
Hope for the Next Generation
This is my 16th year as an elementary teacher, and it sometimes astounds me to think just how much our world has changed. Young people have so many more voices to sort through now as they grow and mature, and it can be easy to feel like it’s a losing battle. But there is hope for the next generation, and those yet to come—and you and I have the opportunity to be a part of God’s working.
Praying with No Strings Attached
Jacob isn’t a Biblical character we typically take for a role model, but there is one moment in his life that gives us a glimpse of maturity—and yes, even an example to follow.
