And you should be modeling and encouraging bold trust in an all-powerful God. This isn't about your great faith. It's about your great God - a God who deserves nothing less than faith for "great and mighty things we don't know" (Jeremiah 33:3 ). http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/safe-in-the-middle-of-the-flood-2713 2009-09-16T12:26:23-05:00 You know floods are coming. Just don't wait for the floods to build the wall around your family. If you make each day a flood-proofing day, your family may be in the flood - but the flood won't be in your family. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/load-lighteners-2845 2009-09-11T16:09:29-05:00 Load lightening begins by having your radar on during the day - listening for, looking for burdens someone may be carrying. Be generous with your words of encouragement - for someone, that encouragement may make all the difference today. Think creatively about what practical thing you could do that would remove a little of the weight of that person's burden. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2012:6-8&version=NIV 2009-08-13T11:50:36-05:00 We each have unique talents and gifts given to us by God, and we're called to use those gifts diligently in God's service, in the way that makes the most sense. Different Christians have wildly different interests and talents, but all should work together for the common cause of Christ. http://intothyword.org/pages.asp?pageid=56868 2007-10-05T18:22:11-05:00 Join many other Christians in safe, encouraging and insightful discussion forums! lean about character, Matthew and much, much more...
