Life is messy. But God.
Guest post! My 17-year-old daughter wrote this to present it to her high-school-level Awana group last week. I am so grateful she allowed me to share it with you here, because this is an issue most of us need biblical clarity on in this Age of Entertainment!
Do you ever find yourself anxious or afraid? I know, I know, what kind of question is that? ...we *can* deal with our fears and anxieties in ways that honor God, and we *can* have peace, even when life is hard. …But how?
This world is dark, full of treachery and lies. But God. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:5)
Have you ever felt hopeless in your fight against sin? I have. Many times. But God! Because of Jesus in us, we have more power than we think we do!
Can we understand what it means to "not lean on your own understanding," without leaning on our own understanding? Let's do a Bible study, and find out!
It’s probably safe to say that most of us are dealing with at least something hard in our lives. There’s always something trying to keep us from trusting God. But God is trustworthy. Even if.
Disagreements between believers happen all the time. We have big disagreements, and little ones, and everything in between. What does that mean, and what should we do about it?
Have you ever felt lost for words when you pray? I sure have! What should I say? What should I ask for? Should I even ask for things? How should I approach Him? What should my attitude, my goal, my purpose in praying be? God has given us answers in His Word!
What makes a Bible translation trustworthy? Should I read more than one translation? Why quote from different Bible translations? How can I find out more about different Bible translations? Which Bible translation should I use? I offer what help I can in answering these great questions.
As a follower of Jesus, I want to be like Him in every way possible. Therefore, my view of Scripture should match His view of Scripture. So I must ask… What did Jesus think about Scripture?
