Hi friends! Today's post was written by blogger Kori and is about how God worked in the life of David. I know that you'll find hope and encouragement in this guest post.
Is Your Phone More Important to You Than People?
We're quick to pull out our phones to check notifications, send messages, and scroll through social media. But are we quick to listen to other people when they speak up? Are we quick to reach out to people who are typically ignored by everyone else? Are we quick to build others up with our words and actions? Sadly, we're not.
Directing My Steps
That's why Proverbs 16 is such a comfort to me. I don't have to worry about the future because God directs my steps. No matter what happens, I can trust that God will open the right doors at the right times.
Stretched to the Savior
What will I do when I’m forced to be with people constantly? What will happen when I’m only able to see my family once a month for very short periods of time? What will be my fate as an introverted freshman who's terrified of making new friends? What if I can't "do" college?
The Purpose of Worship
Normally, my focus during church worship services isn't actually worship. But why do I struggle to focus? Why can't I ponder the words that I'm singing? Am I the only one who has trouble concentrating on God?
Sermons of Ourselves
The focus of this poem is pride—a sin that is addressed many times in Scripture yet is often treated lightly by Christians. Sadly, many Christians focus more on building their platforms and being in the spotlight than on glorifying God. But that's not what we're called to do, friends. We're called to humble ourselves and point people to Christ alone.
An Encouraging Reminder for the 4th of July
I wanted to wish you a happy 4th of July and encourage you to walk in the freedom of Christ on this momentous day. Thank God for setting us free from bondage as a nation and as sinners. Happy 4th of July, friends!
5 Ways to Have the Best VBS Ever
Vacation Bible school (aka VBS) is something that many Christians often dread, even though they know how important it is for introducing children to the gospel. I realize that helping with VBS requires a significant amount of time and energy, but it doesn't have to be draining and discouraging. If you want to have the best VBS ever, here are five things to keep in mind.
Movie Review: The Case for Christ
Overall, the movie used believable actors and actresses. The story was fairly interesting. Though it wasn't as dramatic as some Christian movies, like Courageous, the general story and theme were compelling; and much of the information Lee Strobel discovered was new to me and may be new to you as well.
