A Personal Inventory for Sunday

  1. Am I putting in conscious effort (work) into learning something new from God, whether in the scripture I read or the sermon I hear?
  1. Do I carefully examine the text of each song I sing in church or just blindly get caught up in the catchy melody or ongoing repetition?
  1. Does my hunger for the food of God’s word match my hunger for physical food? Are they fed even close to equally? (Jeremiah 15:16)
  1. Do I know where in my church I can be taught from God’s word, besides Sunday morning service?
  1. Where are my time and money being spent most? Am I too busy for regular corporate and personal study of God’s word because of other things? Is the pursuit of spiritual knowledge and growth an invested priority in my life? (Matt. 6:21)
These excellent questions appeared in an article by David Bordy.  Link

Families' Fridays

From Focus on the Family 10 helpful tips for single parents Imagine this: you’re the sole parent for your children. You get them up, get them fed and send them to school. You do the housework, maybe you go to work yourself, you get home and you’re still the only adult there. There’s no one to relieve you. No one to pass the baton to while you take a shower or take a few minutes for yourself. You make dinner and gather the family around the table to eat. You play with them, read to them, give them baths, get them to bed and there’s no one there to sit with and process your day. There’s no one there to laugh with you or pray with you. Instead you keep working. You clean up the house again. You pack lunches for the next day. And you eventually crash into bed, knowing you’ll be doing the same thing tomorrow. For many, this is not an imagined scenario. When you parent alone – whether due to divorce, the loss of your spouse or having a spouse who works away from home for long periods of...
