Today I’d like to share the first in a series of 5-minute devotionals. These will be just brief thoughts on a verse, subject or concept, something to think about or chew on. If you have a question that might make a good 5-minute devo, feel free to ask it in the comments section and I’ll feature some of them in future posts.
So, to kick off this series, today’s devo is Why We Can’t Think Straight.
We all know forgiveness is important. In fact, if we have been a believer for any length of time we know that God commands us to forgive. But sometimes, we just don’t know how to do it.
So what is forgiveness? Does it require us to forget or to act like the hurt or the sin never happened? What does it mean to forgive as God forgives us?
Maybe you have questions, too. I hope to answer some of them in the next two posts.
This week’s subject may seem like a no-brainer to some. But even though we may claim to know these things, actually living as if we do can be challenging at times. So, what do you believe about God’s Word? Do you know how and why taking God at His word can rock your faith? And the most important question, do you act on it?
We are in a series called “Rock Your Faith.” The principle in this week’s post, Personal Accountability & Snowplow Parents” is at the heart of our ability to grow and change. Without it, our growth will be stunted at best. It’s something with which most of us struggle. It affects our relationships with God, with others, and our ability to parent well. Yet, much of what has been written about it is far from helpful.
Last week I shared about something that happened almost 20 years ago that rocked my walk with God and my husband’s, as well. The change that God did through it eventually rippled out into every part of our lives. Today I’m going to talk about a principle that will not only rock our lives personally but will lay the foundation for understanding and obeying the other principles we find in God’s Word.
Almost 20 years ago, something happened that rocked my walk with God. He had been prodding my husband and I to get more involved in our church. You see we had been wounded a few years before and we were leaving behind one of those “we’ll-just-go-to-church-and-leave-right-afterward” seasons. Maybe you’ve had one. As you may have learned, God is never content to leave us there.
Today’s Featured Post is one I hope everyone will read and consider prayerfully. In it I ask the question, “Are we as committed to our faith and it’s spread as our Muslim Neighbors?”
Have you thought about reading through the Bible, maybe know you should, but keep saying, “Maybe next year”? Here is a 15-day catch-up plan so you can make this year your year!
Though Christians are told to rejoice in our suffering, We can only rejoice when we know some things about God. What must we know?
