For some Christians, being faithful to God means addressing the big issues that trouble the world today. But the small things can make a big impact on someone in need. And we’re told that God notices seemingly insignificant acts of kindness.
When we find ourselves reflecting on all the good things we have, we have to acknowledge that we have been blessed. But when we begin to contemplate the source of those blessings, our hearts should truly be thankful.
To err is human. To repeat those mistakes is VERY human. Living a life that is consistent with our faith can be quite a challenge. The road from repentance to righteousness can be long and winding, and there are some days when it seems like we haven’t made any progress at all.
Many believers face a difficult dilemma as they try to remain faithful in a world that doesn’t share their values. Should they stand up for what they believe in, or be quiet and go along with everyone else? Sticking to our principles may cost us now, but will be worth it in the long run.
We know that “God so loved the world…” but we also know that it takes more than Love to redeem mankind. On this special day, God reveals His plan to rid the world of the effects of sin.
There are times when the situation demands that we speak out. But sometimes we don’t get the results we were aiming for. Do the words we speak align with what we are trying to accomplish? Does living our life for a purpose alter how we interact with others?
Many different kinds of people attend church, with various levels of investment in the ministry of Christ. How much of our self is God expecting us to offer?
