Jesus was known as the “Friend of Sinners.”  Throughout his time on Earth, his practice was to meet and mingle with everyone, always showing love and acting in grace and mercy. As people who take seriously the call to share Jesus with our world, are there necessary expectations of what our interpersonal relationships look like?

When we realize that God is stewarding us and we grasp the Gospel, learn to care not just about our own interest but others as well, see our stacked-up pedigree or good works as worthless, and begin to make smart choices to guard our hearts and minds, the result will be learning the secret of […]

In Philippians 4, Paul seems to counsel us to, in all things, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy!” How is that even possible – or reasonable? Is there some kind of secret to stewarding our hearts and minds so this kind of no-worry, peaceful life can be ours?

Do we spend too much energy and give undo attention to that which is worthless while minimizing or ignoring the truly valuable thing?

The definition of “stewardship” is “the activity or job of protecting and being responsible for something especially entrusted to one’s care.” Imagine the freedom and pleasure that would come if the one who […]

By his grace, God has given us “soul” health.  By his activity, he has brought us into oneness with the Trinity.  But what about our bodies and their health?  What is the importance of activity and how does activity, mental and physical, improve and lengthen our lives? The whole concept of healthy living and seeking […]

“A thrill of hope; the weary world rejoices. For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.” It is the morning after. The morning after everything changed. Without this “Holy Night,” there would be no ministry, no cross, no resurrection, no hope. Today our world is weary, and wherever there is a lack of rejoicing, maybe […]
