When the world feels overwhelmingly dark and chaotic, one of the best things we can do is turn our focus to the one unchanging Maker of heaven and earth - our holy Lord God. Join Elizabeth and Monika as they explore four attributes of God, thinking deeply about what these characteristics truly mean, so we can rightly meditate on His sovereignty, mercy, providence, and lovingkindness.

________________________

When this is the day your trials abound - when this is the day you're filled with great sorrow, worry, anxiety, or fear - meditate on the lovingkindness of God. It will fill you with great joy to reflect on His lovingkindness. It will temper your sorrow with peace and renew your hope in the Lord.

It will remind you to trust Him - not to fear the trial you're currently enduring or the future trials that may come. You cannot fear the future when your confidence is fully in Him. And how could you not have full confidence in a God who looks down on us - sinful worms - and sees us through the blood of Christ, giving us access to Himself through the work of His Son? A Son who loves us so much that He not only made us in His image, but also saved us from eternal death.

That knowledge should cause us to fall on our knees in worship.

Lying, rooted in hatred, is the opposite of love. It destroys trust and unity within the body of Christ.

As those who have died to sin, believers are called to speak the truth in love. Truth-telling isn’t just about honesty - it’s an act of love that builds up others. Lying tears down, but truth in love builds up.

Join Elizabeth and Monika as they filter the sin of lying through a biblical lens, considering what lying is, how to put it off, and how to put on a righteous habit in it’s stead.

Ephesians 4:25 Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

________________________

When this is the day you struggle with the habit of lying, examine your heart. Do you detest lying? Do you hate your sin enough? Or are you unbothered - is your conscience unbothered - by concealing the truth, exaggerating, making excuses, minimizing, or even lying to yourself?

"I used to say to my mom that some vessels are made for honorable use and some for dishonorable use. Maybe I’m just meant to go to Hell." - Bryce De La Rosa, prior to salvation.

Once known by his prison number, Bryce went from attending youth group to attending state-mandated rehab. Little did he know, the Lord was at work, drawing the rebellious sinner to himself.

Meanwhile, his future wife found herself on the same trajectory. Addiction, identity theft, computer fraud and a baby on the way, Genevieve has no thoughts about the God who made her.

Join this special episode where we chat with a couple about their beautiful redemption story, a story that points to a loving, gracious Savior, who offered them mercy, instead of the justice they deserved.

Their entire testimony can be found on our website under Stories of Grace.

When this is the day you think someone you love is too far gone, keep praying. Keep inviting them to church. That's your job. The Lord does the saving. Remember, where there is breath, there is hope.

Taking scripture out of context is exactly what the world wants. How many times have we quoted a verse - trying to encourage ourselves or someone else - only to use it incorrectly?

In this new series, Hobby Lobby Signs, we’ll take a closer look at the scriptures most commonly taken out of context - and learn what they really mean.

________________________

When this is the day you feel the urge to hang scripture on your wall or share a verse on social media, make sure it’s not taken out of context. If there’s any doubt, choose a different one.

We must rehearse the character of God in our minds constantly. We must think on his attributes. That is the good, holy, excellent things we should have our minds on. But it reeeeeeally helps if you know the ACTUAL meaning of these attributes. Having that deeper understanding, will give you such a deeper comfort.

________________________

When this is the day you feel hopeless and discouraged, you must remember that God is powerful. Perhaps you’re feeling discouraged about your own sin, or the sin of your husband or children, or you’re watching loved ones reject the Lord or act in foolish ways. You must turn your eyes to Christ and think on Him. He is all powerful, and that should give us great comfort.

Infertility is one of life’s greatest trials, and brings great sorrow to those who walk that road. When we remember that God is perfectly sovereign over all things, we can find peace in blaming God - but not in a negative way. The peace comes from acknowledging that God is God, and we are not, and we can rest in the fact that he is sovereign, he’s in control, and he is good and faithful. So that must be enough. That IS enough.

When this is the day you question WHY you haven’t been able to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term, when this is the day you want to give up praying, when this is the day you feel unseen and feel that your prayers are unanswered - look away from your grief, look away from your sorrow. Look towards the God of the Universe who loves you and DOES have a good purpose for you. Rehearse Isaiah 55:8-9 in your mind, to remember how small you are and how big God is, yet he numbers your every hair.

Isaiah 55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Wisdom is an attribute of God. Because we want to cultivate wisdom in our homes, the Word of God must be central there. We strive to keep wisdom before our own eyes - but what about our children? Has the iPad or a kiddie show played babysitter in your home?

The world works hard to make wisdom vanish from our sight and that of our children, replacing it with cheap entertainment. How do we teach, guide, and model for our children, that the true treasure we should be seeking, far outshines the little dopamine hits they get from screen time?

________________________

When this is the day you long to model well, how to use technologies in a righteous manner, and you think the only possible solution is to throw away your phone and TV, video games, and ipad, don’t worry! You can keep them! It doesn’t have to be that extreme! The real solution still isn’t found there. It’s in exchanging the thrills we get from screen time, with thrills from the Lord.
