Restore that Person Gently (Jul 4th)

Verse

Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.

— Galatians 6:1 tniv

Thought

Spiritual people are those who live under the influence of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:25) and then naturally produce the Spirit’s fruit in their lives (Gal. 5:22-23). When someone is caught in a sin, then these spiritual people should help restore them back to Jesus and the life of Jesus. But they are to do so gently — living out the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control that come from the Holy Spirit! The goal is not to win a point or prove superiority, but it is to win back a wandering soul to Jesus!

Prayer

O Father, as I think of people who are in trouble spiritually, I pray especially for… Please use me in restoring them to Jesus and to his family of believers. As I work toward this goal, I pray for the Holy Spirit to be at work in me and the Spirit’s fruit displayed in me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Budgeting Bliss: 5 Steps on How To Get There, and When To Send the Old Budget Packing

27/10/2014 22/09/2016 Finance

Admit it. You can’t afford not to budget. There are plenty of people out there who–despite their six-figure income–still find themselves in a vicious paycheck to paycheck cycle. The only way out? Budget. A good budget fits snuggly, but isn’t suffocating. It gives direction but isn’t overbearing. A real budget is constructive, not constrictive. My guess is, you’ve been in a bad-budget relationship most of your adult life. That good-for-nothing budget promised you extra money in your account and an end to your problems. Instead, you found nothing but store-brand beans, frustration, and a building sense of failure. You probably left the budget, then came back. Left, came back. Apologized. Left. Came back. Left. It isn’t you Budget, it’s me. I just can’t do this. It’s too hard. Budgeting shouldn’t be dramatic. Healthy money management isn’t painful. When set up right, a budget is empowering. Let me assuage your fears (and let me use the word “assuage”) by helping you avoid some common budg..

Britney Spears Endorses Pastor/Author Max Lucado

03/11/2013 22/09/2016 Music

Britney Spears has a new album coming out and is about to kick off a two-year residency in Las Vegas, so she’s out there working the publicity machine. During a recent Twitter chat, a fan asked Britney what her favorite book was, and the singer replied, “Anything by Max Lucado.” Lucado is a Texas-based preacher and author of a hundred (yes, a hundred) Christian-themed adults and kids’ books. Their titles include Grace for the Moment, Outlive Your Life: You Were Born to Make a Difference, and God..

Diablo Cody Tweets About Rescuing Jinger Duggar

20/10/2013 22/09/2016 Movies

Her new movie, Paradise, is all about religion. In the movie, which was originally titled Lamb of God, a young religious woman (Julianne Hough) is in a terrible accident, which causes her to question G-d and run off to Las Vegas to see what sin feels like. Well, it looks like screenwriter/director Diablo Cody had some pretty specific pop-culture inspirations for the movie: The Duggars. Particularly Jinger. Diablo recently tweeted that if Jinger ever wants to run away from her family, she can com..

Katy Perry’s Song “By the Grace of God” Is a Flashback to Her Christian Singer Days

01/10/2013 22/09/2016 Music

Before Katy Perry was an animal-print-and-candy-loving pop star, she was Katy Hudson, aspiring Christian singer. Though her switch to the secular side of music helped make her a star, Katy (whose parents are pastors) hasn’t given up on her Christian background. Her new album Prism features the ballad “By the Grace of God,” which probably won’t ever be released as a single but does a bang-up job appealing to one of her core constituencies. But what does John Mayer think?
