The Only Way to Live

The Bible teaches that faith is the only way to live, and it is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith is not blind superstition, nor is it positive thinking or feeling of optimism, but rather it is a confidence that rests in hope, a conviction that sees the invisible, and a communication that comes from heaven. Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, and we can treat the future as present and the invisible as seen. Faith is the dynamic of spiritual wisdom, spiritual worship, and spiritual wealth, and it is the heart's response to the character of God. Faith helps us to find the goal of life, which is to follow and finish the will of God. [... more]

The Wisdom of Being Bored

According to Harvard professor Arthur Brooks, boredom is necessary for human flourishing and a practice we need to cultivate. He argues that our commitment to avoiding boredom at all costs is behind many of our worst habits, worst problems, and biggest anxieties. Brooks suggests that seeking times of stillness and quiet is essential for finding meaning in life, and that the default mode network in our brains, which is responsible for boredom, is being shut off by our constant use of screens.

Happy Are the Helpless and Hungry (Matthew 5:5-6)

Biblical meekness is not weakness, but rather a strength that comes from having power under control. It involves submitting to the truth and living for God's pleasure, which leads to true happiness. This is achieved by passionately longing for a life that pleases God and being willing to surrender one's own desires and rights. The key to developing meekness is to have a deep hunger and thirst for righteousness, which comes from a relationship with God and a desire to please Him. [... more]

Heavenly wisdom is the ability to make decisions based on a deeper understanding of God's word, leading to a life of peace, love, and gentleness.

In contrast, earthly wisdom is driven by selfish ambition and personal gain, leading to conflict and division. The Bible teaches that heavenly wisdom comes from Jesus Christ, who lived a life of perfect wisdom and righteousness, and that through trusting in his sacrifice, we can live out this heavenly wisdom in our daily lives.

Pay Day! Romans (6:21-23)

The Bible teaches that sin will take you further than you ever wanted to go, cost you more than you ever wanted to pay, and keep you longer than you ever wanted to stay. In contrast, Jesus Christ offers a free gift of eternal life through His grace, which is available to all who believe in Him. The story of Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated Antarctica expedition is used as a metaphor for the dangers of sin, while the concept of God's grace is illustrated through the life of Jesus Christ.
