Our Will or God’s Will?
Psalm 32:8
Following the will of God requires faith and action, which in turn call for risk and release. This is where things get very personal.This is where we persevere and flesh out the will of God.
I have come to this conclusion: Doing the will of God is rarely easy and uncomplicated. Instead, it is often difficult and convoluted. Or...mysterious.

The Beauty of God’s Holiness
Revelation 4:8
We live in a day of pitifully shallow concepts of God.
Some of today's contemporary Christian music leaves the impression that God is our buddy—a great pal to have in a pinch.... One pop song asks, "What if God were just a slob like us?" That is not the biblical view of God. That is man's feeble attempt to make God relevant.
Do you hear the cheap twang of such a concept of God? These small ideas of Him diminish the beauty of His holiness.

Hurried, Harried Homes?
Proverbs 27:23
What's the atmosphere like in your home these days?
Are you in danger of raising a "hurried child"?
Capture some time this week and take an honest look at the quality of childhood your family lifestyle is providing for your little ones. What will be memorable to your kids when they, as adults, look back on the early years? Will it all seem like a high-pressure blur to them...one long breathless marathon? Have you allowed television to snatch up much of your children's unscheduled minutes...andhours?
God Made Me
