Our family went to the Poconos to take on the challenge of a ropes course. I didn’t know what I was in for but it was fun. Is the ropes challenge a fitting metaphor for life?
Thankful for the rumble strips
Rumble strips on the road assist us in arriving at our destination and keep us out of the ditch. Scripture provides warnings that function as spiritual rumble strips. One is found in Galatians 5 and is the subject of this post.
Selective grace in the church
We all want grace, but sometimes struggle to give it when it is most needed. We are in constant danger of offering selective grace by offering it to some and withholding it from others.
Putting first things first
God does not need my service to accomplish his will, nor does he need yours. In his grace, he allows us to participate with him in the accomplishment of his desires. But, we need to put first things first as we consider entering into service.
