    based on 4 ratings
     | 19,329 views

    Having joy is not dependent on circumstances but comes from God, is Jesus-specific, and something that we are called to practice.

    Work is given to us by God, is done in vain apart from Him, and can be a means of worship--because God calls us to trust Him so that we do not find ourselves eating the bread of "anxious toil."

    The reality of work Just imagine—it’s the end of a morning or afternoon or evening of hard work, and you’re very, very tired. But you look around your house, and the floors are swept and clean, the dishes are done, the laundry folded and put away, and even the bathroom fixtures are sparkling; and ...read more

    Jesus teaches us three things about humility: it starts at the bottom, it grows out of gratitude, and it is an act of faith.

    “Oh, it’s hard to be humble . . .!” Have you ever heard that little tune, “Oh, it’s hard to be humble, when you’re prefect in every way?” It’s a little tune I remember from growing up. And I read a couple of stories this week that sort of illustrate this song very well. The first was about Henry ...read more
