Has the Recession Gotten to You too?

After years of working hard and following all the rules, suddenly finding yourself unemployed can be devastating. For many people, a layoff is a life-changing event that forces them to reassess their priorities and rethink their plans for the future. 

For a married, middle-aged couple, a layoff can be incredibly challenging. Not only do they have to deal with the financial stress of being out of work, but they also have to contend with the emotional fallout of feeling like they've failed. 

In this difficult time, it's natural to question whether or not God is still there for them. However, it's important to remember that even in the darkest times, God is still with us. He doesn't promise that life will always be easy, but he does promise never to leave or forsake us. 

So whether we decide to trust God or not, he will always be there for us.

Every Detail

It's a common joke that people can't remember their grandchild's birthday, but they can remember every detail of a grudge that they're holding. There is some truth to this idea, as studies have shown that people are more likely to remember negative experiences than positive ones. Additionally, harboring resentment can take a toll on our physical and mental health. 

So why do we find it so difficult to forgive and forget? One reason may be that forgiveness requires us to let go of our anger and sense of justice. Forgiveness also means admitting that we were wrong, which can blow our ego. 

However, holding onto a grudge ultimately does more harm than good. Learning to forgive can help us move on from the past and live healthier, happier lives.

Claim to Love God (Video)

We live in a generation filled with God-talk but often devoid of God-action. It seems like everyone claims to love God, but few are willing to obey His commands, speak to Him in prayer, or even listen to His voice. 

This disconnect between word and deed is nothing new; throughout history, there have always been those who give lip service to faith but fail to follow through with their actions. However, what is new is the idea that you can be a Christian without actually living like one. In an age of easy belief and cheap grace, it has become easy to profess faith in Christ without putting that faith into practice. 

But Jesus calls us to more than just words; He calls us to a life of obedience and faithful living. So when we follow His call, we will find He is worth following.

The Truth is Always the Same

In a world full of misinformation and lies, it can be difficult to know what to believe; however, one thing remains constant: the truth. 

No matter how much people try to change it, the truth is always the same. It is an unchangeable fact and cannot be altered by anyone's opinion or perspective. The only thing that can change concerning the truth is people's perception of it. 

As new information comes to light, people have the opportunity to reassess their beliefs and come to a new understanding. 

In this way, the truth has the power to change people, even if it cannot be changed itself.

Too Much Energy to Hate

It's easy to hate someone who hates you. After all, hatred is a powerful emotion that can easily consume someone. 

But I've never been one for hatred. I believe it takes too much energy and effort to hate someone, and life is too short to waste time on such negative emotions. 

Instead, I choose to love those who love me. They are the ones who are worth my time and attention. They are the ones who make me feel good about myself, and they are the ones who make me want to be a better person. 

So when someone hates me, I don't hate them back. I pity them because they're missing out on all the good that comes from loving others.

Religion In The Workplace

A group of friends discusses religious freedom in the workplace. They talk about how they believe that everyone should be free to practice their religion without discrimination. They also discuss how religious freedom can sometimes conflict with other rights, such as the right to not be harassed at work.

If God Can... (Video)

The Bible contains stories of people who accomplished incredible things through their faith in God. 

For example, Moses led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, and Joshua conquered the city of Jericho. In both cases, these men could achieve the impossible because they trusted God would help them.

Similarly, we can accomplish great things in our lives if we have faith like that. When we trust God, we can boldly face challenges and overcome obstacles that seem insurmountable. We can also trust that God will help us to use our gifts and talents in ways that will make a difference in the world. 

So let us all strive to have faith like those in the Bible and see what amazing things God will do in our lives.
