Both important. Just like we can’t always live in the rarefied mountaintops, we can’t continually live in the valleys (and stop seeing valleys as negative, stressful, unforgiving). We live on both, separately, and both are important to our growth. Both provide learnings and insights into living our lives. We all need encouragement, and typically those […]

Why do I think we are responsible? And responsible for what? The following 3 points underscore my belief and the reasons. Being a Christian is not something that we sit on our ‘laurels’ since we are saved. We are expected to be and to do. The Lord chose to work through us in His creation…

It is said that people ‘of a certain age’ are invisible (actually on both ends of the age continuum). Then there are those who feel that they’ve always been invisible. Does invisible define or describe your ‘persona’? Do you feel invisible? If so… why? By/to whom? And… do you want or need to do anything
What you do now begins to determine what a year from now becomes. What do you want it to look like, who do you want to be? What do you plan – plan, not just hope – will you have accomplished? What will next year look and feel like? Granted, you can’t see tomorrow from
Is that how you would describe your life … lesser? Why? Why would you choose lesser? And, like it or not, it is You who is doing the choosing. It’s because (you don’t have or you do have…fill in the blank) that stops you. So, to make certain I am understanding you correctly, it’s other

Nor is it ‘easy’. And accepting Jesus isn’t a free ride nor does it exempt us from problems. Jesus tells us in John 16:33, MSG: “I’ve told you all this so that trusting Me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take
I would argue that the biggest burden we try and carry is one that we don’t need to. That burden is identified and is two-fold: unconfessed sin and accepting forgiveness for confessed sin. There are a number of scriptures that speak to this, among them: 1 Peter 5:6-7, Psalms 55:22, 34:15, etc. “If you hide
