Why is Refusing Help a Problem?

It’s not always easy to accept, but Jesus teaches us in scripture that working on our issues is a priority. In Matthew 7:3 (NET), He asks us a poignant question, “Why do you see the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to see the beam of wood in your own?” To me, this verse has many levels of meaning. First, it’s much easier to recognize the faults of others rather than acknowledging our own.

What are Real-Life Results of Receiving Help?

As we near the end, let me give you another peek into my personal life. I take three prescription medications to regulate anxiety and treat autoimmune disease. This is totally contrary to my holistic, organic, grass fed and spirit-led ideology. I never envisioned myself on long-term medications, but I’ve determined they improve my quality of life greatly.

What Does Putting God First Look Like?

For a long time I asked myself this question. I knew that going to church wasn’t optional, nor was giving to the church. But my shoulders drooped when I heard others talk about doing their devotional time every day. As a busy homeschool mama, I always made excuses.
