Embracing True Change in the New Season
As we step into a new season, many of us see it as an opportunity to refresh our goals and aspirations. However, if we desire lasting transformation, we must invite the Lord to work out our sanctification through His Spirit.
What Does it Mean to be Holy?
David Powlison, in his book “How Does Sanctification Work?”, sheds light on this concept. Becoming holy doesn’t mean becoming detached from life’s challenges. Rather, it means growing into a wiser, more compassionate human being. You learn to manage your finances, relationships, and career with greater wisdom. Your words convey more sense, joy, and reality. You develop a deeper understanding of prayer, connecting God’s character to human needs.
Factors of Transformation
A new tract, “The Source of True Change”, highlights the diverse factors that come together as God transforms a Christian’s heart. This resource provides a valuable tool for sharing a message of hope with friends, family, and colleagues as they strive to improve their lives.
Discovering Contentment
Pastor Erik Raymond’s tract, “Finding Contentment”, reveals that true contentment can only be found in God Himself. Scripture reminds us that as long as we seek contentment in things other than God, we will remain unfulfilled. Instead, we’re invited to trust in the God who is content, the sole source of lasting satisfaction.
Addressing Emptiness
Nancy Guthrie encourages us to reframe our understanding of emptiness. Rather than seeing it as our biggest problem, we should recognize that God views it differently. Our emptiness can be an opportunity for growth and transformation.
New Year, New Reminders
For Christians, the start of a new year brings fresh reminders of God’s glorious promises. As we reflect on these promises, we’re encouraged to slow down and acknowledge that our most basic need is met in Christ’s coming. In Him, we find true fulfillment and transformation.
Training Ourselves for Transformation
As we embark on this new season, let’s commit to training ourselves to recognize our greatest need – a deep, abiding relationship with Christ. May we invite the Lord to work out our sanctification, embracing the transformation that comes from knowing Him.
