Conflict happens. But let’s not start pointless squabbles about things that don’t truly matter. Let’s focus on the fact that we as Christians need to give God glory in everything—even with our opinions.
Movie Review: Miracles from Heaven
In short, the movie's message is to have faith. Even though we don't always know why we're suffering, we're called to trust God through it. He can perform amazing miracles in our lives. And sometimes, He uses us to strengthen others in their suffering and show them that He's working in their lives.
Burnout Blues
The church is not a one-man show, with Super Man (or Super Woman) stepping in to meet all the church’s needs. Because Super Man will get tired and frustrated and cranky very, very fast. You do play a part in the body of Christ—but that’s all it should be. One part. Not all the parts.
