Peace and Conformity
Are you looking for peace? Do you want to belong? Would you like to be part of an organization or group of people who appreciate you and welcome you in? How welcoming are you? Are you open to changing your outlook? We all want to feel as though we belong. We seek approval. We wantContinue reading “Peace and Conformity”
Peace Through Love
Yesterday, we covered some peace principles. Today, we continue that discussion as Paul provides those same principles in simpler terms. As he is writing to the church in Colossae, he gives them (and us) a rapid-fire lesson on how to live as Christians. In Colossians 3:1-17, Paul rattles off a series of reasons for usContinue reading “Peace Through Love”
Are You Thankful?
Are you thankful? Do you live a thankful life? What does a thankful life look like? We all get caught up in our daily lives of school, work, parenting, sports, and watching too much TV.

Blessing’s For God’s Glory
Why do you want God to bless you? Is it out of selfish ambition? Is it so you can have more? Or is it so that God will be praised? Is it so God’s plan will be executed? Too often it is for our own benefit and not God’s. We don’t like to think ofContinue reading “Blessing’s For God’s Glory”
Caring For All
