4 Christian Sayings That Are Not In The Bible
These sayings you have definitely heard and maybe even said. But the problem is they aren’t in the Bible. Not only are they not in the Bible but believing them can hurt your faith.
Don’t Worry. Be Happy.
We worry about small things and let little issues ruin our day. To summarize Paul tells us to not worry and be happy. God has saved us and we have nothing to fear.
Failure to Commit Will Destroy Me
Our failure to commit is destroying our relationships. It’s killing our relationships with people and it will be the death of our relationship with God.
{Philippians 2:1-4} Pause & Reflect Devotional
In Philippians 2:1-4 Paul challenges us to move from selfish to selfless.
I Am Not Good Enough (and that’s okay)
I’m confronted everyday with a reality that I don’t really care to acknowledge. I am not good enough. I’m a terrible follower of Jesus. With my words I’m great, but my actions rarely back it up. I’m far more selfish than I care to admit with my wife. As a pastor I’m regularly confronted with issues I have no clue how to deal with. In the most important areas of my life I am not good enough to do them even remotely well.
{1 John 2:15-17} Stop & Reflect
“Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.” 1 John 2:15-17 (NLT)

There are a lot of hurting refugees out there. They need hope and a home. Syria, Turkey, and many more countries are in upheaval. And we as a Church can help.
Why I’m Not Worried About the Election
I can’t stand election season. The smear campaigns. The empty promises. The arguments that erupt on social media. The politicians that quote scripture for their own gain. It all rubs me the wrong way.
