دووه‌م په‌تڕۆس 18:3

This classic piece of literature (ghostwritten by Heather Hair) shines light on the power of practicing God's presence. In this short reading plan, hear from the author Brother Lawrence (1614 - 1691) as he gives deep, spiritual direction from his deathbed.

In the life of a family, children are a gift from God. Fathers and mothers have an important role to play in building children's spiritual lives and teaching them the values of life. This reflection will help parents to set an example and teach their children to fear the Lord.

Shortly after writing his first letter, Peter hears word of false teaching spreading amongst the churches in Asia Minor. The letter focuses on combating false teachers and encouraging believers to grow in spiritual maturity by studying the Scriptures. Second Peter reminds us to be diligent in confirming our calling by cultivating Christ-likeness in all aspects of our lives.

We tend to think if we can control enough items in our life, we are safe. This creates an addictive cycle to control as much as possible. By staying in the lanes we can control, we limit our perceptions which suffocates growth. Perhaps what robs us from what God desires most is our inability to surrender control as that is counterintuitive yet can provide tremendous peace and growth.
