The 2 Greatest

It's easy to fail to recognize the radical nature and message of Christmas.  That gets lost in the trappings of the season. Let's let Mark remind us today.

I'm pretty sure you've never said "thank God for road construction!"  But I think you should...let's talk.

We all need and look for comfort.  Sometimes we seek it in healthy ways and sometimes, not so much.  The good news is the lasting comfort we all need is already promised and provided by God.

The world hit a milestone.  Eight BILLION people are not on planet earth?  How does that make you feel?  What's ours to do in that truth?

What's your emotional reaction when you see a picture of yourself?  Do you swell up with pride or cringe?  Does it make you happy or sad?  Let's work on how we see ourselves in pictures.

Perfection is overrated and underachieved.  We can be it, do it, obtain it--but we're told to "be perfect."  What do we do with that?

Sometimes there are no words, just deep, guttural, painful sounds.  We make them, but does God?

There are artists whose music have helped shape your soul for Christ.  Some, like Rich Mullins, died young; yet they leave a legacy that lives on.  

The world can be a lonely place.  There are lots of image bearers who wonder if anyone cares, anyone sees.  YOU can make a difference in their lives.  YOU can let them know, with God, there are NO invisible people.

WORDS have power--to build up or destroy.  One of the BEST and EASIEST ways to love well is to use our words to cause someone to say "thanks, I needed that!"
