Leaving the past behind
Jesus died on the cross and was buried, but He didn’t stay there. We celebrate Easter to remind ourselves that Jesus has risen, that He is alive, and that we too can live in His resurrection.

When a situation does not go the way we wanted, one of the first human reactions is to find someone responsible. And we are ready to blame anyone, even God!
We love to talk a lot about God’s love, peace, and favor. And all of this is true! But we must not forget that we are also soldiers on a mission to destroy the works of the devil!
Several times in His ministry, Jesus told His disciples to be ready for the end so as not to miss the coming of the glory of God. Hundreds of years later, that message still applies. And we, are we ready?
When we give our lives to God, we become members of the same Body. And we are not united only on Sunday mornings! Even the decisions we make during the week, alone at home, have an impact on the Body of Christ.
Sometimes we make a gesture with good intentions, but it is poorly received. We thought we were being generous, and the other person was offended. What can we do? And most importantly, can we prevent these confusing reactions?
“No, we’re not thinking of marriage, we are just getting to know each other.” A phrase we hear often and looks good, but it can be very dangerous.
When we decided to follow Jesus, we also abandoned certain destructive habits. But what if our old friends come back to visit us? How to stay the course?
Are we ready to turn our backs on sin and follow Jesus? He will give us the strength to do what He has called us to do.
In an era where women rightly claim equality and recognition in all kinds of areas, the Bible’s teachings on the role of women in marriage can sometimes create a fiery debate. Still, we have to talk about it, right?
