"Finally, brothers... whatever is honorable…. Think about these things. Phillipians 4:8

As a woman, I have found that the social media accounts I follow often reflect my heart and attitude towards God. I find myself in streaks where I follow accounts on social media for less than honorable reasons. While there will be nothing wrong with the specific accounts I follow, my motivations are not necessarily honorable. When I take the time to ask myself why I'm following someone, especially that I don't know personally, I find that I am often motivated by one of three reasons, envy (Oh, my life would be so much better if I just had that scarf with that smile with that hair!), self-righteousness (Oh, I would never be like them!) or fear (I don't want to miss out on the latest royal fashion!). Walter Mosley’s quote, “A man's bookcase will tell you everything you'll ever need to know about him,” is a quote that has always stuck with me. Not that it’s necessarily true, but a bookshelf used to be an easy way to see what someone’s interests were. Nowadays, I would suggest that the quote should be altered to replace the word “bookcase” with 'the accounts we follow on social media'. Social media can take up a lot of our thoughts. What thoughts do the social media accounts, that you follow, encourage you to think?

Please join us February 7 & 8 at our Pacific Northwest Conference, ""Whatever is True"" in Oregon City, Oregon.

For years, Jacob and his family had lived in the comforts and freedom of Canaan. They had married and birthed children. Their lives were good. But after all this time, only “70 souls” went down to Egypt (Ex. 1:5). Hardly a dent in the chosen family whose numbers were promised to be “like the sand of the seashore.” (Gen 22:17)⁣

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true…. Think about these things.” Phillipians 4:8

The world wants to tell us there is no truth, while ignoring the irony that the statement proclaims a truth. The world wants to tell us that we must live, eat, or dress a certain way, or (insert trend here) to be fulfilled, or cool, or amazing. Yet we daughters of God know the truth. But do we think of it? Do we think on God’s goodness to us?
Knowing is one thing, thinking another. Knowing implies a passive stance. Thinking is active.
I fall short of thinking on God’s truth everyday. I allow my knowledge of the bible and doctrines to lull my senses. Thinking takes work and my heart and mind are lazy. But just like a workout is good for my body, thinking on truth is good for my soul.
And the good news is that we have a helper. The Holy Spirit is here to help us. We don’t have to do it alone. And we have a gracious Savior that allows us to start afresh. Our failures are forgiven. Each day we can choose to think on His truth anew.
What truth will you focus on today?

“This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.” Ephesians 3:6, ESV⁣
⁣
Friends, what good news this is! ⁣
⁣
Do you read the Old Testament promises as promises made to you and to your children? ⁣
⁣
Do you read of the Old Testament faithfulness as your family legacy? ⁣
⁣
That is the good news of Christ! ⁣
⁣
All the promises of God and His faithfulness to His people are for you and your children.⁣
⁣
All the stories of faithfulness and steadfastness are our family history through our adoption as sons through Christ. (Gal. 4:5) ⁣
⁣
⁣
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Eph. 3:20-21, ESV⁣

Are you packing up your Christmas decor? ⁣
⁣
Are you prepping healthy lunches to meet those New Years’ goals?⁣
⁣
Are you simultaneously ready for the normal pace, but also lingering in the last few quiet days, and eyeing up those leftover treats? ⁣
⁣
Do you celebrate all 12 days of Christmas?⁣
⁣
Enjoy it! Christmas is here, and the promise is true. ⁣
⁣
Pack up the decor, and rejoice that Christ can not be packed up. His Presence, the true and lasting Joy He has brought, is still here. The gift of a Mediator, the gift of a Saviour - He is come. ⁣
⁣
We can prep the lunches, linger in the quiet days, joyfully eat the cookies, plan an Epiphany feast - because He came, He is Immanuel, God with us. ⁣
⁣
The reason for the season is the reason for our Christian joy every day of the year. ⁣
⁣
While the world puts away Christmas, we are just getting started. Now we get to take the joy that has come, that began with Christ’s birth, and take it to the world. ⁣
⁣
”And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." - Matthew 28:18-20, ESV⁣
