The airways are filled with contradictions and scuttlebutt is everywhere. How is a follower of Christ to walk through times like these? While the world has named the virus Covid-19, the real name of the virus is FEAR. The vaccine: "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10). We live by faith, not by fear. https://www.mark829.com/articles/6-ways-you-can-improve-your-relationship-with-god monthly 0.5 2024-08-09 https://www.mark829.com/articles/live-by-faith monthly 0.5 2024-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66059887ce2e0c38e3820362/0a16a5d3-3db8-4b63-a3e2-b1984980f206/Screenshot+2024-06-07+at+2.29.16+PM.png Articles - Live By Faith Whatever the days ahead may hold, let us trust in the good character of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

During the summer when there are daily thunderstorms, one dog peacefully snoozes the day away while the other shivers & shakes and pants & paces. Same storms … different reactions! All people, everywhere, will encounter “storms”. Troubles come to those who love Jesus and those who oppose Him. But trusting in Christ Jesus and applying His Word to our lives is like building our “houses” or lives on a firm foundation. It is the key to surviving those storms in tact. I want to be like our chill dog, peacefully trusting my Shelter as I wait for the storm to pass. “The foundation we choose to build our lives upon will determine our destinies today, tomorrow, and for eternity.” – from The Relationship book https://www.mark829.com/articles/8-ways-that-god-can-make-a-difference-in-your-life-today monthly 0.5 2024-07-03 https://www.mark829.com/articles/making-a-call monthly 0.5 2024-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66059887ce2e0c38e3820362/1b27661f-d23c-48ca-b28c-a330abd56a14/Everyone+who+calls+on+the+Name+of+the+Lord+will+be.png Articles - Making a Call I made the “call” while struggling with infertility and a marriage that was going nowhere. I had tried everything humanly possible and was left frustrated, exhausted, and hopeless! Deciding I’d better get to know the Giver of life, I took all of my fears, doubts, frustrations, heartaches and heartbreaks to Him. For the first time in my life, I sincerely and honestly “called” out to Him. And He answered. Christ gave me His Spirit, His Love, His Peace, and so much more! It’s a call I have NEVER regretted! #savedfromhopelessness https://www.mark829.com/articles/becoming-the-best-you monthly 0.5 2024-08-09 https://www.mark829.com/articles/stink-weed monthly 0.5 2024-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66059887ce2e0c38e3820362/76c1db58-8910-4543-963c-30d78078f8c0/Screenshot+2024-06-07+at+2.26.56+PM.png Articles - “Stink Weed” There’s this crazy, out-of-control weed that grows on nearly everything where we live. I call it “Stink Weed” because of its pungent odor. Pulling up the Stink Weed causes it to smell even worse. It’s as if the weed is screaming in self defense and hoping we will leave it alone! I really had rather leave it alone. Let it go, and let it grow! The problem with that is it will absolutely take over… everything… everywhere… choking the life out of its victim until every plant in the backyard is covered… and dying! “Stink Weed” reminds me of those emotional weeds like bitterness or resentment or unforgiveness. If left to grow, these emotional weeds will choke the life out of our love and joy and peace. Letting these emotional weeds go, and grow, will cause a big STINK in our lives! How do we deal with emotional weeds? First, realize they are there and be willing to let the Gardener in. Let the Lord have a whack at them He will pull them up by the root, and protect what’s most precious… if we let Him! https://www.mark829.com/articles/the-secrets-to-finding-peace-revealed monthly 0.5 2024-08-09 https://www.mark829.com/articles/having-confidence-in-the-lord monthly 0.5 2024-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66059887ce2e0c38e3820362/6c9f62ba-6fcb-4c36-9391-dc26ef143956/having+confidence+in+the+Lord.png Articles - Having Confidence in the Lord When our circumstances are twisted and turned into unexpected disappointments, seeing them from an eternal perspective gives us hope.and renews our strength. One of many examples in the Bible is Paul who wrote in Philippians 1, “…my situation has actually turned out to advance the gospel.” Our God uses EVERYTHING and ANYTHING! Have confidence in God through Christ. He will work your circumstances for a greater good! https://www.mark829.com/articles/dont-give-up-give-in-instead monthly 0.5 2024-08-07 https://www.mark829.com/articles/gods-not-mad monthly 0.5
