How to Let Your Light Shine

by 22 Comments

How do we live as light in a dark world that grows darker by the day? Because of the COVID restrictions in our area, I don’t enjoy going out anymore. I can’t see people’s faces because of their masks. I can’t understand them when they speak from a distance with voices muffled by masks. The added chemicals many use to disinfect their stores trigger breathing issues in me. I feel trapped in a B-rated thriller.

Riding home Saturday night with my husband after one such experience, the bright moon caught my attention. “Look how bright that small sliver of moon is,” I said.

The moon’s brightness stood in beautiful contrast to a day that had been gray, windy, and even briefly snowy. Seeing it helped me understand an admonition from Scripture that applies to the times in which we live.Continue Reading

I Found Something Better Than Working for God

Have you become worn out or disillusioned working for God? Sometimes we need an attitude shift. When we work for God, we make mistakes in “His name.” We bruise people, become resentful, proud, or burned out. We may even hurt His kingdom instead of building it.

Rejoice! How to Safeguard Your Year

How can you safeguard your year? Paul offered a surprising protection that our son Brant discussed this weekend. His lesson resonated with many of us. Here’s a brief summary of his insights combined with some of my own thoughts on how Paul’s admonition to rejoice in the Lord safeguards us in this new year.

From prison, Paul wrote, “Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you” (Phil. 3:1 NIV).

Isn’t it ironic that a letter written from prison would talk about rejoicing? Maybe you’ve felt like you were in a prison last year. You’re praying to be set free in 2021. COVID restrictions restrained us from gathering with friends and family. We couldn’t participate in activities we’d taken for granted. Without warning, many of life’s securities and pleasures were yanked away.Continue Reading
