Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
That's why we need to be careful about what we choose to look at and listen to. Maybe we’re not affected by every word we hear and every image we see. But when we continually fill our minds with immoral things, they begin to corrupt the way we think, speak, and act. But God calls us to be changed by the renewing of our minds.
That is why we must be very careful when we choose what to look at and listen to. Maybe we’re not affected by every word we hear and every picture we see, but when we continually fill our minds with those immoral things, they start to corrupt the way we speak and act.
Hi, friends! I hope you're having a wonderful winter and enjoying the weather, whether you live in the snowy mountains, the breezy beach, or somewhere in between! If you’re looking for some more great Christian resources to explore (like the five I shared in the fall), check these out.
One of the many incredible aspects of God’s grace is that it doesn’t go away once we are saved. He doesn’t show us His grace for salvation alone. There is an endless supply of it! That's what this poem is about.
As I write this post, I'm preparing to go back to college. I had a lovely break of doing absolutely no homework. I spent time with my family, attended my church, and hung out with my friends. I cooked meals in my own kitchen, showered in my own shower, and slept in my own bed. I enjoyed being home. But now I must return to my home away from home—the far-away land called "College." And I’m just not ready to go back there.
However, I'd rather ask this question: Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions from 2017? What about from 2016? What about from the past five years?
So much preparation was needed for Christmas, and now it's over. But honestly, the preparation wasn’t the hard part. The gift-buying, cookie-baking, tree-decorating, and light-stringing weren't difficult compared to this.
Today's post is unique because it incorporates several Christmas carols into a poem. I'm so excited for you to read it! Hopefully, it'll help you get in the Christmas spirit if you aren't already!
Think about the "worst" sins that you’ve committed and how you tried to handle them. Did you obsess about them? Did you worry about overcoming them? Did you keep giving into temptation? Did you deal with them in ways that hurt your relationships with God and others? Unfortunately, when we give in to sin, we usually proceed in a variety of unhealthy ways.
