This podcast explores the 2 greatest commandments; to love God and others in our everyday lives. What does it look like to live our lives as if Jesus were living His life through us, because He is!
It's GREAT to strongly support a cause! It's SAD when the passion for the cause (even when it's for Christ) causes us to speak and act in ways that dishonors the very one we're trying to support.
Our loyalty and allegiance is to Jesus, never to a worldly institution who promises power with a little compromise of the Gospel. Let's be careful who butters our bread!
If you label people you can stop loving people. At least that's what we tell ourselves. But people are way more complicated than being all bad or all good. One secret to loving others better is to not paint with too broad a brush.
Because life is so interrupted right now and we are WAY out of our normal routines with restrictions all around; it's easy to let the days roll on in a blur. But this is GOD's day, NOT blursday!
We all need inspirational stories of real people who have been changed by the Good News and are now helping change others with that same Good News. Today is one of those stories.
It feels awkward when a person is sharing deeply with you something BIG in his or her life and you don't know what to say. Remember to be a mirror.
There's something about climbing a tree that separates you from all that's going on in the world below. You feel like an observer, safe and distant. But Jesus calls us to come down and walk with him to the future he has for us. Don't worry, it's good!
There are times in life when God is on the move in our lives and GOOD is happening. But while healing is happening, it doesn't always feel good. Don't give up! Life, love and light is being formed in you in Christ!
We tend to compare, compete and complain when we see our lives are different than others. The Lord wants us to ride our own ride!
You don't have to attend every argument you're invited to. And that goes for arguments about God as well. What you can do is lovingly, consistently, tell your story. There's power in the sharing.
