There is a lot of pressure within the Christian community to spend time daily with the Lord. While it may seem to some like a standard that is impossible to obtain, there is good reason for it. But Bible study is intimidating!! How do I find a method that works for who I am?
When Jesus was born in a humble, dirty manger to a humble couple from a humble village, He was born with all the authority, glory and sovereign power of the Almighty God.

Worrying about your appearance takes a lot of time and obsessing over what others think can be draining. Outer beauty is a mirage. It is always changing, and it is exhausting to try and chase a ghost. What does the Bible say about beauty, and how can I find rest in that?
Christian complacency is a dangerous place to be. It might feel comfy and cozy for the moment, but that comfort is actually a crafty disguise for a numbness to growth and conviction.
No matter who you are, or where your weaknesses lie, we all have a hard time with new friends. But if we can make the effort to put ourselves out there, a friend can be a huge blessing.
