Christian Caregivers and Spiritual Gifts: Serving Together with Purpose
Have you ever made the statement that things would be easier if everyone just thought alike? The usual reply is something like “but it would be a boring world if we were all the same.” Let’s face it, groupthink doesn’t work out very well. God shows us in his word that there is actually a deeper purpose in being different from one another.
Faith Over Fear: Encouragement for Caregivers on Life’s Emotional Rollercoaster
Life as a caregiver is like riding a rollercoaster. Our medical team warned us of this early and often. One of the things I realized after awhile is that when the ride is smooth you are often recovering from the bumpy parts. Then the smooth gives way to the next dip and the cycle continues.
Spiritual Growth Through Caregiving: What It Means to Bear Fruit
I love to garden. It is one of the joys of my life to go muck around in the dirt and see God’s beautiful creation up close. It also makes certain parts of the Bible come alive for me. Agricultural symbolism is heavy in scripture. While it made sense to a lot of the audience of the time, many people today don’t understand the deeper meaning.
God Is Bigger Than Your Circumstances: Finding Hope Again
I am at a point in my walk with the Lord that I am realizing just how big He is. Putting God into a box wasn’t intentional, but I was at fault for it just the same. When I didn’t feel like He was working in my life, when I was overwhelmed by worldliness in my community, or when I didn’t feel like lives were being changed even within the church, I made the box smaller. And I let it get smaller, and smaller, and smaller.
Spiritual Maturity Matters: Strengthening Your Faith in Caregiving
It took me a long time to realize that there are different types of maturity. Being able to hold a job responsibly or care for a loved one does not mean that you are spiritually mature. The spiritually mature Christian puts faith into practice and is equipped to teach others.
Don’t Be Deceived: Standing Firm in God’s Word
Have you ever noticed how many predictions are made every New Year? Newscasters all throw in their two cents about sports, finances and politics. It brought to mind this word from Jeremiah. These people speak visions of their own minds, not the Word of God, and we are reminded that we must be careful who we listen to.
Be Doers of the Word: A Devotional on Faith in Action
The theme of the book of James is how we live out our faith—being a doer of the word and not a hearer only. Trouble had entered the early church by way of conflict among the people. James teaches how the people may seek divine wisdom to unify the believers once again.
Shine Where You Are: Living Out Your Faith Daily
Have you ever tried to find the best lighting for a room? There are a lot of things to consider, such as the room’s use, the size of the room, and what lighting is currently in place. Designers will often tell you to have light set at three different heights to account for different needs. In contrast, the average Jewish home in Jesus’ day usually had one small oil lamp that would be placed on a stand to give maximum lighting to the room.
