“Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary…” (from Luke 10:38-42)
I suppose we have to be thankful on Thanksgiving. The rest of the year we can “cuss and spit” and complain. But how can I be thankful? Each morning when I go to God, my prayer starts with my list of complaints, my fears and anxieties, and my list of things about which I am certainly not grateful. He always listens and waits until I’m spent. Then God says, “You through?”
True community is important, but… how do we find it? Join Joe Battaglia on Steve Brown, Etc. as he talks about his new book, Unfriended: Finding True Community in a Disconnected Culture. Joe thinks we’ve never had more friends, and yet we’ve no one to meet for coffee, and he believes he knows how to fix that.
How do you speak truth when it gets people angry? Or when they simply don’t care? Our culture has drastically changed and is in desperate need of truth. As Christians, we’re called to speak it. And speaking truth to power is more important now than ever. Watch as Steve teaches from Acts 5 about speaking our truth Jesus’ way.
The good news comes to you today singing over you, incorporating you into the story, into the greatest love song ever recorded
Almost everything of any importance is found on the way to somewhere else. If you want to be accepted, seek it and you will never find it. If you want to be spiritual, work hard at it, and your lack of spirituality will rival that of a pagan. If you want humility and work at it, your pride will become your most outstanding trait.
What made that ring valuable was the giver. What makes my own heart and your own heart so is the giver.
Let’s listen to a man—the man—pray. If we’re quiet enough and pay attention, we’ll learn things about Jesus that we wouldn’t any other way.
Our guest today could be killed if we said his name. You’re gonna want to hear his story on this Steve Brown, Etc!
