My sins may look different from theirs, but I still have hurt others with my sin just as they have. However, the Lord has redeemed both of us, and neither of us will get what we deserve.
All that other little stuff that we often let bother us… isn’t worth it. Enjoy life as much as you can and thank the Lord every single day.
I was made to find more in life than counting calories. I was made to find more in life than how many hours of working out would make me look in a bikini.
Jesus was always about love. But truth was never compromised in the meantime. This is the struggle that is plaguing our churches and, indeed, the world at large.
How was I supposed to spread positivity and the light of Christ to others when I wasn’t even letting that into my own heart?
Wisdom and maturity are recognizing that those that hurt us, whether intended or not, need love, too. They need our prayers, our patience.
Loving people like Jesus loves us is not a light command. Loving people like Jesus loves us demands that we “burn the ships.”
We aren’t doing much this summer, not compared to everyone else. I sit and scroll through endless social media posts of people and families enjoying their vacations and I feel like the most boring person ever.
I wanted to throw my phone across the room. How in the world could she possibly praise God for how broken my personality is?
I realized that I was being consumed by social media and what I was seeing to an unhealthy level. What I was seeing on social media was consuming my every thought.
Why is it okay for a businessperson at a booming company to drive her dream car but not okay for a pastor to drive his dream car?
If I am clutching onto something because I’m so afraid of losing it or that relationship, then maybe that’s not really love anyway.
If given the chance, I would’ve run on stage, halted the processional music, and read to them a better graduation speech.
If you can remember that someone’s mental health is just as important and relevant as your physical health, you’re already helping more than you know.
We are all born for connection. We are wired in such a way that we need to be seen, heard, and to belong. I didn’t grow up with that, but it was something that I needed.
As you’ve read this piece, how many more have given up? This month? This year? They were military veterans, sons, daughters, friends, and co-workers. They were businessmen, athletes, firefighters, and dentists.
Don’t allow your mind to be the devil’s playground. You have power and forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ. You have been made new.
The impact of mothers in our lives is undeniable, and it is not just our birth mothers who leave a print on our hearts.
Shane Claiborne is a public speaker, social activist, and author. He strives to strip away all that culture has added to Christianity and get to the core of what following Jesus means.
Whether people are willing to admit it or not, racism is still not resolved in our country. We see this everywhere with bitterness and lack of empathy.
The concept of sin didn’t even exist yet in the heart or mind of man. Adam was complete. But God gave one simple specification to Adam: do not eat from this particular tree.
When you find yourself in a place of offense, your mind, heart, and spirit are more than likely unsettled. You may be figuring ways to justify yourself.
We are to be salt and light in the world, but we should remember that who we are out there to everyone else should also be who we are here at home.
