These days, we have coined the term “Adulting” to describe what previous generations has just accepted as the normal part of growing up and being a responsible adult. Often too, we struggle to “adult” in the church. Thus, many of us struggle with “adulting” in the church. How can a young person strive for godliness in the church?
In Judges 6:11-40, the life of Gideon shows us a man who was too fearful to stand up when God called upon him to do His will. Repeatedly, God had to show him His power, and redefine him by His grace. Grace makes us grow up.
We live in a highly connected world but despite all the social media, this generation seems to be lonelier than ever. Articles have been written on this issue, but what does the Bible say about this?
Making decisions is hard for many of us, and for many Christians, we talk about "praying about it" but what does it really mean? How can we move forward? David, the great king David, could have some wise words for us.
In 1 Kings 19:1-18, we see the prime example of a man wallowing in self-pity. God’s response to the man is a tender one. He helps Elijah to recuperate, and restores him for ministry. Likewise, grace soothes and tenderly restores us wherever it finds us, but it never leaves us where we were.
