"I am discouraged" - Have you said that in the last 12 months? I have. What were you saying it about? Who were you saying it about? Christians have used a lot of social media time and foyer conversations expressing things that disappoint them. Tensions are high. So, why is that happening in the church? Is there any excuse for it? And how do you match that up to the things that Jesus and His Apostles taught?
The truth is, we tend to be making two simple, but serious, mistakes when we are out of focus and down about life's circumstances. In this episode we will go back to two old ideas, old ESM episodes, that still have the power to reshape your thinking and bring great JOY into your life!
- What are the top 39 things Christians are discouraged by?
- What did Jesus say about the attitude of Christians in trying circumstances?
- How can't the habit of Counting Blessings transform the way you see your life?
- How can Changing Pronouns break the gaze on self and see the world as God sees it?
- What is the daily power of J.O.Y. in the life of God' blessed people?
