Getting to Balance and Finding the Sweet Spot
In the last article about finding balance, we learned that for the Christian, a balanced life is lived “knowing” within yourself that you are at the center of God’s will for your life. You are where you are supposed to be, doing what you’re supposed to be doing in your time or life stage - in your place - using your gifts, talents, and resources - for those people God places in your life.

Is your definition of balanced living in line with God's?
There are many definitions of what a balanced life is today. Some view balance from a holistic approach, such as: health + happiness + prosperity = balance; or a syncing up of the mind, body, and soul. Some believe you can achieve balance by simply having a positive outlook, focusing on good habits, and lowering stress. And you’ve probably heard the balance buzzwords, like the need to practice yoga. Breathe. Meditate. Be intentional. Promote feelings of well being. Work-life

How do you know if your life is out of balance?
Are you a stressed out mess? Do you long for peace and quiet? Does your life feel like it’s spiraling out of control? I've been there, friend, believe me! At one time or another, we have all experienced feelings of being out of control. When we aren’t experiencing order, or balance, in our lives, it creates anxiety, panic, confusion, and a sense of feeling helpless. This happens for one of four reasons: We have allowed some area of our life (or person) to take more of our ene

What Does It Mean to Follow?
Last time, in Whose Light Are You Following?, I talked about Jesus as our “L” light and the wonderful fact that we don’t have to wander aimlessly through life not knowing who we are or where we’re going. In case you missed it, click HERE. This week, I want to talk about something that is very hard for many, many people - following. We all want to lead or go our own way, but Jesus is clear that he's the One to follow (Matt. 10:38). So what does it mean to actually follow him a

Whose Light Are You Following?
Recently, I was listening to a podcast by Ravi Zacharias, a great apologist and author, whom I respect very much. In his podcast titled Jesus Among Other Gods Part 2, he posed some very good questions: “When you are looking for life, how do you decide on life’s perfection? How do you know what life is meant to be like?” In this world, we all have unique challenges and situations to overcome. There are many people facing extremely difficult issues but continue to wander around

Breakfast with Solomon - Proverbs 28:5
Proverbs 28:5 "Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand all things" evil men The biblical definition of evil men is those who live outside of the moral boundaries of God. They have thumbed their nose at God to the point that they live in open rebellion to His standards of life. Life outside the Ten Commandments is an evil life, God declares. A righteous life is only possible inside of His standards. Then it must be a life of faith and trust i

Living a Surrendered Life
What being a Christian is all about. "What is the greatest commandment for successful living?" The religious leaders asked Jesus this very question (or something similar in essence), and this is what he said: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" (Matt. 22:37-39) Jesus was talking about a surrendered life -- one that
