Life with an Eternal Perspective – Focusing on Heavenly Things

spirituality Nov 10, 2024

In a world where we are constantly bombarded with the pressures of everyday life—work, family, finances, and more—it is easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. As Christians, we are called to live with an eternal perspective, focusing on the things that have lasting value rather than getting caught up in the temporary concerns of this world. Colossians 3:2 (KJV) encourages us, “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” When we fix our eyes on heavenly things, we gain clarity, peace, and purpose, allowing us to live in a way that reflects our hope in Christ.

This week’s post will explore how living with an eternal perspective transforms our daily lives. We will look at practical ways to shift our focus from the temporary to the eternal, helping us to navigate life with a deeper sense of meaning and hope.

In our daily lives, we are faced with countless decisions—some small, others life-changing. Christians must seek God's wisdom to guide us through these choices. True wisdom is not found in worldly knowledge or human understanding but comes from God alone. James 1:5 (KJV) offers a clear promise: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” This verse assures us that God is generous in giving wisdom to those who seek Him.

Improved Discipline – Emotions and Actions Being More in Check

spirituality Oct 06, 2024

Self-control and discipline are crucial aspects of living a godly life, helping us to manage our emotions, actions, and reactions in a way that honors God. In a world that often encourages us to follow our desires and impulses, God calls us to exercise self-control and live disciplined lives that reflect His nature. Proverbs 25:28 (KJV) says, “He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.” Without self-control, we leave ourselves vulnerable to emotional outbursts, poor decisions, and sinful behavior. But with discipline, we guard our hearts, keep our actions in line with God’s will, and maintain a life of integrity.

In this post, we will explore how self-control and discipline are essential in the Christian life and how we can grow in these areas to more fully reflect Christ in our emotions, decisions, and relationships.

Patience in a Fast-paced World – Waiting on the Wonderous Lord's Time

spirituality Sep 08, 2024

In today’s fast-paced world, patience seems to be a rare virtue. We live in a culture that values instant gratification, immediate results, and quick solutions. Yet, as Christians, we are called to a different rhythm that requires us to trust God’s timing and wait on His perfect plan. Learning to be patient, especially in a world that encourages the opposite, is a spiritual discipline that helps us grow in faith, trust, and dependence on God. Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) reminds us of the blessing that comes from waiting: “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

In this blog post, we will explore what it means to wait on the Lord, why patience is essential for our spiritual growth, and how we can cultivate patience in a world that constantly pushes us to move faster.
