“It’s easy to fall into the trap of being spiritually nearsighted. You just see your own needs and desires. The Bible can be a kind of sharp pair of glasses that brings the real meaning of life into focus,” writes Ken Lass.
Ken Lass shares thoughts on an embarrassing situation that happened to him during a church service. “Thank you, Lord, for rescuing me even in my most awkward and humiliating moments,” he writes.
Planning for your own death is uncomfortable but necessary. With the hope of Jesus Christ, believers can find comfort, even with the thought of death looming large in the background.
It’s never too late to improve your Christian legacy, writes Ken Lass. “A hundred years from now, will my picture be up on a Cracker Barrel wall, right next to other amusing, old artifacts?” he muses.
It can be difficult to seemingly go out of your way to help or check on another. But what may seem like an inconvenience for you could be a blessing to someone else, so don’t be afraid to boldly walk out in faith.
Ken Lass reflects on how caring for his daughter’s aging Boston terrier has helped him see the beauty of treating the aged with gentleness and grace.
“God thought of everything when He designed us. He gives us what we need but not until we’re ready for it.”
