When Worry Steals Your Joy: Trusting God as a Caregiver
There is a difference between saying the right things and living them. We all know of church leaders, politicians, and celebrities that have said things to the approval of their followers, only to be later exposed as hypocrites.

A Pure Heart in Caregiving: Serving God with Love, Not Obligation
When we think of a pure heart that loves God, we do not speak of outward perfection or religious performance.

God is the original heart surgeon. In this passage of Ezekiel he is telling his people that he is going to replace their hearts in order to make them holy, set apart. They have been captives in Babylon and needed to understand God would not let them live like other cultures, worship other gods. As Christians, we have a similar message. We are to be set apart as the spotless Bride of Christ.
Finding Contentment in Caregiving: Trusting God When Life Feels Out of Control
Are you content with your life?
