Leave it With the Specialist
When faced with impossible situations refuse to worry. Instead, hand them over to God. Ask Him to take charge. After all, He’s the specialist.
Learning From Your Mistakes
We don’t have to live perfect lives—that’s impossible. But we can live good lives, and that comes from learning from our mistakes and not making them over again.
Laugh it Off
When things don’t go our way it’s tempting to get angry. A better ways is to laugh it off. When you choose to smile in the midst of chaos you’re choosing to rise above your circumstances.
Keeping Ready
As hard as it is to imagine one day we will meet Jesus. And we need to be ready.
Inferiority
It’s easy to compare ourselves to others—but there’s no reason to! God made each of us unique and to Him we are works of art.
Heroes
What makes someone a hero? Often they’re ordinary people who are able to rise above their circumstances.
Grace-Based Salvation
If salvation was based on works we’d never know when our good works outweighed our bad works. And we’d never know when we were good enough. We’re saved by grace, and there’s nothing we can do to earn God’s favour. That’s why it’s a gift.
Four Ways to Avoid Feeling Offended
Chuck Swindoll has four suggestions to help us avoid feeling offended and they’re all rooted in the same concept. By shifting our perspective from horizontal (focusing on ourselves) to the vertical (focusing on God) we also avoid bitterness.
Dealing With Sin
God doesn’t expect us to live perfect lives, but He does expect obedience. This means when wrong comes our way we deal with it.
