God is generous and gives us immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine, and we have a part to play in accessing this abundance for the good of our neighbors as well as ourselves. Pastor Mark shares the key to unlocking God’s abundance in your life.
When it comes to faith and politics, the specifics can get complicated, but the bottom line is not. As followers of Jesus, our political agenda is to love our neighbors and our enemies.
We cannot separate the kind of politics we have from the kind of people we are. Our politics desperately needs people who have put away anger, rage, malice, and slander. If we want better politics, we have to allow God to form us into the kind of people who live differently.
As long as there are people in community, there will always be politics. While politics can often go wrong, we can also choose to engage in a way that represents the love of Jesus to the world and works for the good of all God's children.
There is no lack of fearmongering during election season, but we don’t have to be afraid. While our political parties and candidates can’t save us, Jesus and his loving-kindness can, and he shows us that love is the way to create a kinder nation and world.
Biblical kindness never seeks anything but the best, even for those who seek the worst for us.
The U.S. Presidential election is 50 days away, and the atmosphere is anything but kind. Yet even small acts of kindness can make a significant difference in our communities. This election season, let’s campaign for kindness!
Broken relationships are painful, but repair is possible. Repair is a process that takes significant effort, but when we’re both willing to make that effort, with God’s help, we can experience the joy of reconciliation.
There are no perfect people. We are all broken in some way, but healing and forgiveness are possible. With God’s help, we can experience healing and even thriving in our relationships.
Character matters in all of our relationships, from our family rooms to our bedrooms to our boardrooms. Your character matters and so does the character of the people you choose to trust.
