We must deliberately take time each day to disconnect from the world and connect with heaven.
Modern technologies bless us in many ways. They can connect us with friends and family, with information, and with news about current events around the world. However, they can also distract us from the most important connection: our connection with heaven.
Going through the motions of spirituality…not truly converted…..fed but not nourished.
Yes, you face challenges. But so does every generation. These are our days, and we need to be faithful, not faithless.
I believe that the prophet’s recent call for a home-centered church, supported by what we do in our buildings, is designed to help us survive—even thrive—in this day of spiritual malnutrition.
Remodel [your] home into a sanctuary of faith.
The adversary will try to persuade you that spiritual nourishment isn’t necessary or, more cunningly, that it can wait. He is the master of distraction and author of procrastination. He will bring things to your attention that seem urgent but in reality aren’t that important. He would have you become so “troubled about many things” that you neglect the “one thing [that] is needful.
Parents, please build strong relationships with your children. They need more of your time, not less.
The loving relationships we develop with fellow disciples of Jesus Christ can be a powerful support to our home-centered discipleship.
Never underestimate the strength that comes from gathering with others who are also trying to be strong.
