February 6, 2019

Mature Faith Accepts God’s Word In Redeeming How We Talk, Ken Wytsma and A. J. Swoboda write: “Next to prayer, listening is perhaps the best way to create a positive context for conversation.

Mature Faith Does Not Pursue Worldliness “What a friend we have in Jesus,” a classic hymn rejoices, “all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!

February 21, 2019

Mature Faith Makes Plans in Humility Jesus once told a parable about a rich man whose economic endeavors were going quite well—so well, in fact, that he didn’t have enough room to store all his wealth.
