Examined life or life of action?

When you should be thankful

One of my brothers remarked after the passing of our mother that our parents were always thankful and were always saying that they had been blessed by God.

Don’t be a pushover

There are times in our lives when we have to say “no” to requests made of us, and we may feel guilty about it, wishing that we could grant the request.I often find myself asking what the Christian response should be to these requests, or, in other words, what would Jesus do?
“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8 NIV
