Make Love Your Aim: Today, Tomorrow, and Always!
Love is patient, kind, never jealous, boastful, arrogant, or rude. It never insists on its own way, is not irritable, pouty, or peevish. Love is never resentful, and so much more (Read the entire 1 Corinthians 13). But what if things don't go our way? What then? Think about it: at first the call to love appears simple.

Revolutionize Our Lives: Consider Others Better
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. –Philippians 2:3–4 If we get the apostle Paul wrong here, we’ll miss a very important point and, unfortunately, end up in some off-the-wall teaching or heresy. The apostle wants us to avoid the very human (fallen human) tendency to put ourselves first and others second. By nature
Faith in Action: Becoming a True Musterbrecher!
by Will Powell, Guest Author What does the Bible tell us about putting what we believe, and what do we understand about God’s Guidance into action? Considering James 1:1-4, 19-27. James, the brother of Jesus, who obviously received a lot of respect in the early Church, was able to write his letter with authority “to the 12 tribes." Although he was not a disciple prior to Jesus crucifixion, Jesus appeared to him after his resurrection, and he became close to Peter so

Why Should Expats Go to Church? And Other Annoying Questions
As expats, one of the challenges we have is connecting regularly to a church community. Often, because we are in a new environment for a short while, it is easy to let attending worship regularly slip. Either culture shock or depression wear us down, or there are new family schedules and routines requiring our attention. Sometimes, it’s wonderful to visit new places and we feel that we’ll get back to going to church when we return to our home country. But

About the Father’s Business: Fully Embracing and Engaging Jesus’ Mission and Vision for Your Life
By Philipp Meinecke Guest Author 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” 18 While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21 And going
From the Pastor: A Friend of God
Are you a friend of God? Have you ever thought of what that might mean? Or, did you even know that all of us are supposed to be God’s friends? Abraham was called the friend of God. Jesus called his disciples his friends. The idea is thoroughly biblical and is very striking, since it isn’t a topic of daily conversation and is not found in other religions. The grounds for our friendship with God and Jesus are clear and profound: Abraham
