Confess Your Sins to One Another and Pray for One Another
I pray James inspires us to use the gift of speech and communication well and powerfully by praying when we’re suffering and praising God when we’re cheerful. May we be humble enough to confess our faults to one another and pray for one another, so God may bring healing to…
Bear One Another’s Burdens
As brothers and sisters in Christ, we need to do what we can to bear one another’s burdens to help us all get through our challenges and to face our difficulties. When we see someone struggling, we must be bold enough to ask that person how we can help. When…
Be Hospitable to One Another Without Complaining
Jesus says (Matthew 25:35, 40), “I was a stranger and you welcomed me. Just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” Believing this with all our heart changes our behavior toward all people, including and…

Walking Wisely in the New Year
Amid all that is taking place, Paul tells the Ephesians they’re to be (Ephesians 5:20), “giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” As you begin a New Year, what are thankful for? What are you afraid of? What are…

Letting God
Many of us feel like Atlas… We’re carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders, we’re weighed down, stumbling, and falling under the burdens we feel. Christmas is Jesus pulling up alongside us and asking, “You want a hand with that?” Jesus invites us to lay the weight of…
A Sign from the Lord
Through Joseph, Mary and their baby Jesus, God is telling us all: You are loved unconditionally. You are not alone. Don’t give up. Keep the faith. Keep on believing. Henri Nouwen said, “This is the great conversion in our life: to recognize and believe that the many unexpected events are…
What Are You Looking Forward To?
“When we’re in those wilderness and desert moments in our lives when God seems distant, hope is merely a glimmer, and faith is hanging on by a thread, we can come back to Isaiah 35 with its images of glad lands, blooming deserts, all kinds of redemptive reversals, sighing and…
