This parable will help us understand what it feels like to be lost and how God responds to that feeling by always trying to bring us home.
How can those of us who identify as Christians make church more accessible to those who believe in God?
Jesus had a relationship with God that gave him peace, power, and purpose in a chaotic world.
No matter what problems you may face, God has a way to make them purposeful. God helps us change our perspective so that we see problems as opportunities.
Building self-discipline is what gives us the ability to bridge the gap between aspiration and victory.
To change the world, we must change the church. This starts with every Christian deciding to transform personally, beginning with our personal relationship with God.
Many Christians become deceived because our entire experience is lived within the church. God wants us to expand our world to see he has bigger things in store.
When we are insecure, it can be easy to feel like we are a “nobody going nowhere.”
With insecurity, God never responds with criticism. He responds with a purpose to live for something beyond themselves.
There are many things that aim to undermine our faith: our guilt, different diagnoses, depression, anxiety, fear, and various circumstances. God wants to build our faith and confidence to be so strong it can handle anything thrown our way.
God loves us and he guides us through discipline and training, just like a father who cares deeply for his children. How and where is God guiding your life?
