Believe It or Not
In adversity, our temptation is to hit the “eject button”. There’s always one available, and we push it to quit & get off this ride. But that choice never makes our lives better. We become better spouses, parents, co-workers, neighbors, and friends when we choose to keep going. Persevering faith builds maturity.
Yes You Can
What do you do when there’s nothing you can do? Relationally, financially, professionally, physically, or academically. It just is what it is. There’s nothing you can do to change your situation. Challenging circumstances can make you jealous or resentful. They can make you angry with God. They can breed discontentment. But the problem with discontentment…
A Purpose and A Promise
You’ll never experience the fullness of God’s strength until you experience the depth of your weakness. His strength is so much bigger than our weakness. His best shows up in our worst moments.
The New Normal
In the painful, unfair moments of life, we have a tendency to believe that God is either absent, apathetic, or angry. That just isn’t true! God still cares. God’s still working – even when we can’t see it.
For the Purpose
Being FOR others will always cost us something… but the cost is what makes it worth it. The cost is what gives us greater purpose. The cost is how we know we’re doing something worthwhile.
For the World
Changing the world is about doing for someone what you wish you could for everyone. Whose life has changed because you were willing to reach out of your own & into theirs? We are being called to reach farther, but we don’t have to do it alone.
For My Neighbor
Being FOR calls us to do something for our “neighbors” – the undeserving, overlooked, enemy, & inconvenient. Being FOR requires us to reach further than what we’re comfortable reaching.
For Us
You can’t be FOR somebody else until you’ve experienced somebody else being FOR you. We can be FOR others because God showed that He was FOR us. It’s time to get to work!
Embracing God in the Valley
What would change if we stopped looking at the circumstances around us & started looking at the One above our circumstances? We enjoy God on the mountaintops, but we get to know & build trust in God in the valleys.
