"The Ethics of Believing"

TO READ: Luke 3:1-20

Prove by the way you live that you have really turned from your sins and turned to God. Don’t just say, “We’re safe—we’re the descendants of Abraham.” That proves nothing. God can change these stones here into children of Abraham. Even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised, ready to sever your roots. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.Luke 3:8-9
Asmall boy was playing on the floor near the radio, which was broadcasting a religious service. As the voice of the minister intoned the words of the Apostles’ Creed—“I believe in God . . .”—the small boy, without looking up or even pausing in his play, added, ”So do I,” and carried on—as if nothing had happened. Obviously familiar with the ritual and at ease with the concept of God, the boy had no difficulty stating his belief. But his statement, which was no doubt true, was strangely empty—it was more reflexive than reflective.

"Morning and Evening"

Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

Psalm 139:16

Maybe it was the title of the blog that fascinated me. What woman wouldn’t want to sneak a look at a blog entitled “The Art of Manliness”? In a recent post, Brett and Kate McKay talk about the importance of morning and evening routines for building a successful life. Citing examples from the lives of men like Theodore Roosevelt, William Blake, and John Quincy Adams, they offer models of how men can lead lives of greater significance by paying attention to their daily routines.

“Imagine,” they say, “a string with a series of beads on it. The beads represent your goals, relationships, and priorities. Tip the string this way or that way, and the beads easily slide off and onto the floor. But tie a knot on each end of the string, and the beads stay put. Those knots are your morning and evening routines. They keep the priorities of your life from falling apart and thus help you progress and become a better man.”

"Sharing Emotions"

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.
James 1:19

As we’ve discussed, communication has five levels. The fourth level is Emotional Talk, which says, “Let me tell you how I feel.” Now we are getting to high-level communication. Some will find it far more difficult to share their feelings than to share their ideas because feelings are much more personal. Many couples do little communication on this level because they fear that their feelings will be rejected.

Take this example: Peter says, “I’m beginning to feel that you don’t like me.” His wife, Rachel, may become defensive. Her response may be either to start crying and withdraw, or else to express her anger verbally and tell Peter how foolish he is to feel that way. It’s never appropriate or helpful to tell someone how he or she should feel.

"Friends of the Light"

BIBLE READING: John 3:18-21

We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contacts with God, praying only for knowledge of his will for us and the power to carry that out.

Sometimes we don’t want to know God’s will because there are areas in our life that we aren’t ready to deal with yet. Recovery is a process for us. We may be ready to pray for God’s will in some areas but feel uncomfortable having God’s light shine into the areas that are still hidden in shame.

When talking about those who refuse to trust him withnear it for fear their sins will be exposed.” (John 3:19-2. Later, in one of his talks, Jesus said to the people, “Iyou will have the light that leads to life” (John 8:1
