Redemption Is Possible: What To Do When We Make Mistakes

Image
  “Change begins at the end of your comfort zone.”—Roy T. Bennett What should we do when we make a mistake? How do we correct our wrongs? Since the past cannot be changed, undone, or reversed, we must learn how to shift our focus from the past and concentrate on repairing, restoring, and redeeming ourselves in the present and the future. We must take intentional action to heal hurtful things we've said or done. Redemption begins with first taking full responsibility for our actions. We cannot make excuses for any challenges we’ve endured, even the ones that happened beyond our control.

A Man Named Jesus

Image
  December 25 th  is the day that many people around the world commemorate the birth of Jesus (Savior), the Christ (Messiah). While historians are unsure of Jesus’s exact birthdate, they agree that Jesus was a real preacher whose ministry started in early AD. There are also people who have faith that Jesus was more than a minister or prophet. They believe that he was God’s only begotten son who was sent to Earth to redeem humankind’s relationship with Him. Moreover, Jesus was sent to teach people the truth about God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth because religious leaders had distorted His image and the meaning of true spirituality. Most importantly, Jesus was born to save people from their sins and eternal damnation. Whatever your religious affiliation, you have absolutely nothing to lose by studying the life and teachings of Jesus, namely in the four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) of the Holy Bible. It’s critical though that you pray for wisdom, understanding, a...
