Trusting and acting on the promises of God drastically affects how we live here on earth. For us as Christians, it means faith in the promise of what lies in the future should be wholly embraced, even if we don’t see it.
Only what is done for the good of others will matter in the end. On what basis are we to have this radical love? God helps us to have that hope and he gives us great examples of people who had great faith. Faith is what links hope and gives power to radical obedience.
How do we as Christians live our faith in these times of social and racial tension? By listening. Ultimate healing can only take place when we listen to understand and provide Jesus as the source of change.
The battle to remain positive is a matter of perspective. What do we see when people are hurting? God calls us to listen and have hearts and souls that feel, when we see our brothers and sisters in need.
Jesus’ ministry exemplified leadership through servitude. By taking up our cross and forfeiting worldly desires, Christ calls us to use our power and influence to serve others.
God’s compassionate and comforting character is the ultimate reminder that he is also a mother to us, his children. So, as we celebrate Mother’s Day, let us rejoice in God’s love for us.
More than a holiday celebration, Easter is a victory. From the curse of sin that is lifted, to the power unleashed within us, to the living hope we now have in Christ, Jesus’s death and resurrection changed everything.
Are we aware that our identity is not based on what we achieve, but what we have received from Christ who has set us free?
As God’s chosen people, we are promised an inheritance. No matter how hungry, tired or weak we get, we are reminded to hold on to our inheritance and not sell out our salvation.
