Blog Break

30 Day Blog Break

Time to break the weekly rhythm of deadlines. Time to feed the mind, body and soul with a much needed break in the routine. I'm taking a blog break. See you in mid-October.

Questions or thoughts for Christ-followers like me to consider during the break:
  • How can we exalt the Savior and build-up His church in practical ways? What would it really look like in a faith community? How would it affect our speech, relationships and actions? How would it change the world (our local community) in which we live?
  • What would it look like if we really practiced the biblical concept and mandate of reconciliation? Would we lower our guard, bear our souls and practice unconditional love toward others, especially those with whom we disagree? Would we learn how to practice biblical forgiveness and restoration?
  • What would it look like if we spoke the truth in love and didn't avoid the hard conversations simply to "keep the peace and be liked"? Of course if we are going to speak truth in love we must be willing to receive it too.
  • Have we forgotten the value of confession, repentance, forgiveness and restoration?
  • How can we practice grace in our daily world?
