Worry, Worry, Worry!

14 Dec

As Christians we are, unfortunately, faced with the same concerns the rest of the world face.  Finances, job lay-offs, the children and their Christmas wishes, forclosures and the list could honestly go on and on.  But…  As single believers in Christ we could easlily add marriage, courtship, children (or the lack thereof) and everything else that we must deal with while not being married.  What we must realize is that as believers in Christ our solution is not that of the world.  While their natural inclination is to worry, ours should be to seek the Lord and choose to walk by faith.  For only then will we live in a manner that pleases God. 

Pastor John MacArthur addresses this issue of worried Christians in a timeless piece entitled “A Worried Christian?”  Be blessed.

Emotional Healing from Toxic Emotions

28 Nov

Recently I’ve discovered a few Christian publications that are not only worth reading, but sharing as well.  The Voice Magazine has been around for quite some time, but I’m only now at the place where I am personally able to enjoy it.  This article entitled: Emotional Healing from Toxic Emotions is one such blessing.  Enjoy.

A Grateful Heart

15 Nov

As we move into the season of the holidays I often find myself searching for meaning and sadly coming up empty.  True I understand the purpose of Thanksgiving, but it gets lost in the meal planning and preparations.  Between the football games and Law & Order Marathons (I prefer the latter) I never quite get to the place of truly spending that day focusing on having a heart of thanksgiving.  Oddly enough I don’t spend time grieving over this fact because the word of God says in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 in all things we are to give thanks.  I learned and developed a habit and attitude of gratitude quite some time ago for no other reason than because we should give thanks everyday and most of all for those little things.  Did you get a good park in front of the store?  Did the cashier “just happen” to open a new register when you got in line?  Be thankful.  These days with so many hurting people it is important to maintain a thankful heart in all things.  Happy Thanksgiving!
