Serving God without seeing our prayers answered can become frustrating. Why? Because without really realizing it, we sometimes treat faith like an employment contract instead of an inspiring relationship.

It’s easy to be a Christian in church, but in a secular setting or at work, talking about your faith is sometimes difficult, even forbidden. What to do? Follow what the Bible teaches! Our actions and attitudes allow us to bear witness without saying a word!

Of course, the most important fruit of repentance is the restoration of our access to God, the ability to enter His presence. But there are other benefits we can consider to encourage us to turn away from sin.

Traditions play a central role in our daily lives and in our churches. They are even, in a way, reassuring. But beware: by blindly following them, we risk missing God’s plan for our lives.

Just because we are believers, living by faith, doesn’t mean we have to believe everything we hear. It’s essential to use discernment, whether in our daily reading, our relationships, or even our thoughts.
