  1. Renewing Your Mind

    Comments Off on Renewing Your Mind
    Renewing Your Mind — a word by Pastor Bryan Edwards from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "is not something we achieve. It’s always something we receive. You step into the renewing work (He’s doing in you) whenever you come to God."

    Have you ever noticed how quick and easy it is to change your diet, clothes, or even your daily routine? But it’s pretty much impossible to change the way you think?? It doesn’t matter how hard you try to shut down certain thoughts. The same temptations and worries always sneak back in.

    Well, that’s because the greatest struggle that you and I face each day isn’t around us. Instead, the battle is inside us. It’s in our minds.

    Our culture today offers us all kinds of solutions. Download this app. Read this book. Think these thoughts. And some of those things may help for a moment. But, sooner or later, the same thoughts and worries absolutely return. No matter how disciplined or determined we are. We can never truly renew our hearts and our minds. Without a doubt, that work belongs to God alone.

  2. What Really Matters

    Comments Off on What Really Matters
    What Really Matters — a word by Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "had an incredible impact on hundreds of lives. Her death made me once again reconsider what really matters in this life."

    “Yes, a wise man thinks much of death…” (Ecclesiastes 7:4a LB)

    My wife’s mom, Judy, passed away just before Thanksgiving. We traveled back to Iowa a few weeks ago to celebrate her life. Christian funerals are always bittersweet for me. On the one hand, I am so sad at the loss of our loved ones. On the other hand, however, I feel almost envious that they are now in Paradise with Jesus! How incredible it is to know that in Heaven, there are no more tears, pain, poor eyesight, worries, migraines, sorrows, or death.

    Without a doubt, the death of a loved one is never easy. But, as followers of Christ, our hope is sure; it’s never just wishful thinking.
