Add to your Faith

The Apostle Peter reminds us to "Add to your faith virtue..." There are certain things that God does for us, and things He won't do because we can do them ourselves! It's important to know the difference between "working out" our salvation and trying to "earn" it. We can't save ourselves or sanctify ourselves... that's God's job. But, He won't give us good habits or upright character... that's our job! Sometimes the initial steps toward developing a good habit or character quality is difficult.. that's why many people work with coaches :)

Checkup

I've been going in weekly for blood work to make sure that my immune system is not getting beaten down too much by the new medication I'm on. The regular testing reminds me of one of the huge benefits of coaching... Regular "checkups" really help when things are happening in life... Coaching sessions offer support from a third-person perspective, from someone who is not tangled in your situation, but cares about what's happening in your life and believes in you!

Change and Relationship

We can't have transformational change as Christians without relationship! Whether it is coaching, counseling, mentorship, discipleship or friendship, it all happens within the context of... Relationship! Christ walked this out while He ministered here on Earth... He and the Apostles founded the early Church on this premise, and left a precedent for us to follow.

Stress Busters

I ran across an article this morning with some practical tips for stress management and coping with stress... just thought I'd share a few of these with you! This helpful article covers diet, sleep, exercise and emotional aspects of dealing with stress. It's not written from a Christian perspective, but of course I have no problem throwing my two cents in here and there :)

Treasure in Jars of Clay

Great encouragement for dealing with our "light and momentary afflictions" and a reminder of the One we preach. The treasure is the Gospel message and the jars of clay our mortal bodies. This passage is where C.S. Lewis (yes, of Narnia fame) got the title for his famous sermon "The Weight of Glory" ...see if you can pick out the verse. Definitely recommend this sermon if you can get your hands on it. I'll post a link to it below.

Eager Beavers

These beavers cut down huge trees that they can't even use. Sometimes it seems as if we bite off more than we can chew in our work for the Lord... or tackle more than we can bring down. We attempt to do good works or great things, but forget in Whose power we act. Nothing good really comes from ourselves, and it's only the Name of Jesus Christ that gives our actions power and meaning. And, it's the name of Christ which gives us the reason to do anything at all! With God's help and in Christ's name, anything is possible!
