Hebrews 11 lists several faith heroes from the past and includes details about their lives that evidence great faith. We often refer to this chapter as the “faith” chapter.

Wouldn’t it be great to hear an audible voice telling you that your connection to God is becoming distant and is on the edge of losing clear connection with Him? What do you do when you feel like you are not connected to the Source and what can you do to reconnect?

Remember the last time you were offended? Did you resolve it or is it lurking somewhere in the shadows of your thinking, still itching like yesterday’s mosquito bite? The more you scratch, the more it itches. Offense is like that. The more we focus on it, the bigger it grows, never losing its sting.

Today I look at our world and how much the culture has changed to reflect a pervasive attitude of self-focus. Yet, God’s Word has never changed and still instructs us as parents and grandparents to train up our children in Him.

Good listening is a great means of grace in the dynamic of true Christian fellowship. Not only is it a channel through which God continues to pour his grace into our lives, but it’s also his way of using us as his means of grace in the lives of others.

Solomon told us that for everything there is a season. There are times that we need comforting, times that we need to comfort others, and times for growth when we are called to step out of our comfort zones. Kris describes what this means and the blessings God has in store for us when we do.
