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.
God wants us to evaluate ourselves by how deep and strong our faith is. He doesn’t evaluate our spiritual condition by looking at how we appear on the surface. The depth of our faith determines how much of a difference we can make in the lives of those around us.
God orchestrates the people we encounter and the relationships we build, so that he can use us to change lives.
We can learn to start each new day aware of the strengths and talents God has given to us, and consider how he wants to work in our lives to change the world.
Often, the challenge that I face is that I get inspired to want to make a difference, but don’t realize that I first must allow God to change me.
There is no doubt that this world is changing, but it is up to each of us to decide and influence how it changes.
Believing that tomorrow can be better than today, having faith that my actions today can make a difference in someone’s life is what makes us keep going when life is difficult.
There are many lessons that we can learn from studying the life of Jacob in the book of Genesis that will help us understand our unique purpose.
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.
We have an important choice to make every day, and that choice is whether we will choose God, or choose humanism and self-reliance to help us handle the demands and responsibilities of life.
The key to turning our emotion into action is trusting God.
