We all do a multitude of actions every day. Discouragement comes when our desired goal is impossible to reach or when we think our actions have no effect in reaching the goal. When we are so discouraged, we want to give up. God has another way.
Christians have struggled throughout the centuries of what to do when they encounter a government that is acting counter to God’s basic commandments. Why would a just God even permit this? Today’s podcast responds to this question which was asked by a listener.
We celebrate events and special people one day a year. We call them holidays. Birds sing every day of the year. We come to expect this. What’s the point? Listen and find out.
With the covid-19 shelter in place regulations contact with people is non-existent. With no interaction, no activities, it’s easy to get discouraged. So, what does a person do?
If you know anything about dogs, they need more than food water and shelter to be fully happy. They need a good master. Are we any different as humans? Listen and ponder the possibilities.
When a person has a special skill or ability and it is used, this can bring satisfaction and purpose in life. When that skill or ability is removed and no longer present, it brings many questions to mind. Listen and ponder the possibilities.
A Pear tree in spring is covered with beautiful, white flowers. Those flowers however do not smell good. Life can be that way also. On one level something is good, but on another level it is bad.
Prayer is spoken of throughout the Bible. If prayer is conversation with God, what do we say? How shall we say it? What is the first lesson to learn about prayer?
Most people’s actions and activities are predictable. This is because a person’s personality guides or governs his or her life. Therefore when a person does or says something out of character, it is obvious and noticed. Today’s podcast considers a time Jesus acted differently and why.
