Balance in Life
Balance in life is something most adults struggle with on a professional or personal levels. It gets even more complicated when you add to your life all of the other daily demands such as being a parent (great or grand parent), a spouse, a leader at the Church or in the community, and more. […]
Gratitude
Gratitude is another attitude that can help us overcome fear, in addition to non-judgment, patience, trust, and acceptance. Take a look at Matthew 6, which is a good scripture to help us reflect on this attitude. Chapters 5 through 7 are part of what we know as the “Sermon on the Mount.” It’s a record […]
Trust
“Trust” is another attitude we all need to embrace, which will help us overcome fear and anxiety. Non-judgment and Patience are where you should start. The major components of “Trust” include: Emotional attachment. Active listening. Love. Faithfulness. A scripture I use as the foundation for this reflection is Proverbs 3:5-6, Trust in the Lord with […]
Be Patient
“Patience” is another attitude to help you overcome fear and anxiety! I love what Joyce Meyer said once: patience isn’t the ability to wait. It’s the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.” That’s it! [bctt tweet=”Patience isn’t only some kind of skill you learn. It’s who you choose to become.” username=””] Let’s take a […]
Be Non-Judging
Being non-judging is the first attitude you and I need to overcome fear and anxiety. Before delving into how we can learn to be non-judging, let me describe the anatomy behind judging. The truth about being human though is that we are always tempted to judge. And, that’s kind of how our brain processes […]
The Contented Life
Being content has to do with the state of happiness and satisfaction. Ask yourself about what could be the source of your happiness and satisfaction. For one, it’s family. For another, it’s their career. For someone else, it could be money in the bank, etc.! Now, imagine that everything, whatever that may […]
The Kingdom of God
The “Kingdom of God,” is the last theme to look at based on Paul’s letter to the Romans. It builds on what we’ve seen before: We are all sinners. The Righteousness of God as our only way out. Obedience. God grafts us in making us His children. A new way of thinking. Below is […]
A New Way of Thinking
In the section before the last in the letter to the Romans, Paul begins talking about a new way of thinking, which results from all the other themes he has discussed in previous chapters: All people are sinners. We find hope through The Righteousness of God. Obedience to God and God’s word through faith […]
God’s Judgments Are Unsearchable and Inscrutable
In this fourth section of the letter to the Romans, Paul raises the following question: “has God rejected His people?” In other words, he is elaborating on how God operates when it comes to His covenant with Abraham whose descendants are the people of Israel. It’s also important to review the previous chapters in […]
In Christ, We Receive New Life
In this third section of Paul’s letter to the Romans, we discover the anatomy of how we move from ungodly ways of life (or unrighteousness) to living in a way that is more pleasing to God. Also, we explore how God has made it all possible, drawing on Paul’s letter, for us all to […]
