UnrecognizableIn the game of Life, everyone's life matters! God's command to not commit murder speaks not only to the value of protecting life but als to the importance of speaking life into our neighbors by the power of the Holy Spirit.
In this first command, God shows us 'Loving Neighbor' starts at home. As God, in Christ calls us family and cares for us, so are we to honor and care for our earthly families, and by his love, open our hearts to others who need family as well.
Steve is from the Twin Cities and offices in downtown White Bear. We discuss marketing, self-publishing, personality profiles, the enneagram, what's a "devotional?", bible translations, and more, including Steve's book, "An Alphabet for Change."
God invites us to show our love for him, by choosing this day to intentionally remember him. God invites us one day a week to remember he loves us not for what we do, but just because we are his, in this grace filled command to honor him not by our work but by our trusting rest.
Every game has rules. If you don't know them (or follow them), the game is spoiled and everybody loses. So what kind of rules has God put into place so we can play well together and help create a trustworthy world? It begins with trusting in God, alone.
Trisha Kauffman, Executive Director of Solid Ground, brings us into their work to help solve homelessness and housing insecurity in and around White Bear Lake.
The events of the past year have caused divisions in communities, churches, and families. Many relationships have been broken and much has been lost. Can Jesus show us a way back to each other that is filled with grace and truth?
We all share in the fact that each of us will experience the death of a loved one sometime in our lives. Yet each experience of loss is unique to the individual. How do we honor one another and honor Jesus as we walk this difficult road?
In order to grow, we need to grieve what we've lost- but we also need to grieve things we wish we had. When life robs us of the fulfillment of dreams it can challenge our ideas of who we are. Jesus invites us to mourn, so that we may be comforted. Only when we acknowledge and validate our real griefs, can we truly surrender them to the Lord, and ask for his help and healing.
