You live in a country and your government has just passed a law that you do not like. You can show your disagreement in different ways, but the Bible is clear: not through civil disobedience.
Listening to our negative feelings
In Christian circles, sometimes it is taboo to say that we are sad, discouraged, angry, or disappointed. A good Christian should always be cheerful, they say! Yet our soul is a gift from God and we must take care of it.
Because He is our Father
The prayer taught by Jesus begins with “Our Father”. God has many names because all of His attributes do not fit into one personality. But when we address God as our Father, what does it mean?
Are you a good friend?
We often talk about the kind of friends to have (or to get rid of!), but maybe it’s time to turn the light on ourselves and see if we are a good friend.
Pay attention to your tongue!
We speak an average of 15,000 words per day. A single word can uplift or destroy a person. So we have a very dangerous weapon at our disposal and the Bible teaches us to use it with great wisdom.
