Monitor our attitude
Doing what God wants is very important. But God doesn’t want little robots. He also wants our actions to be accompanied by a good attitude.
The Love of 1 Corinthians 13
“Love is…” That is probably the most quoted passage in wedding ceremonies. It is viewed as the ultimate standard for romantic relationships. But are we right to associate it with marriage?
Disagreeing without being at war
God asks us to be peacemakers. For that, you don’t have to agree with everyone. We can disagree with someone without putting them down or demonizing them.
A holy day
We are blessed to live in a time where technology allows us to hear all kinds of teachings and enjoy Christian music. But we must be careful with this comfort so that we don’t forget the sacredness of what we are doing.
The Word that liberates
We often talk about salvation as being freed from the grip of sin. And it is true! Yet Christians still seem to walk in slavery in some areas of their lives. Why?
Worthy of being imitated
It is much easier to tell people what to do than to set an example for them. Yet our actions are much more convincing than our words. There are even personal advantages to being an example to emulate.
Easily offended?
“Oh! His words are outrageous! His inaction hurts me!” Some people are sensitive and react strongly to all kinds of interactions. But beware, the feeling of being offended can hide pride.
Setting goals...What's the point?
When we make plans and circumstances beyond our control render those plans beyond reach, it can be disheartening to make new ones. Yet we were not created to give up.
Are you ready to receive your miracle?
When we plead with God for a favor, we imagine receiving our response beautifully wrapped, with stardust swirling around and violins. However, God’s miracles are not always beautiful.
