By J.E. Nickerson We live in a time where anger and violence are a very popular way of dealing with social issues. While it is easy to raise a fist, grab a rock to through and use your voice to attack others, violence against others, does not lead to a solution to problems. Hatred and bigotry never lead to peace and social justice.   It has been said that a house divided against its self, can not stand. This nugget of wisdom applies to the future of our country, as well as our interactions with others. Attacking each other, never leads to a stronger society.   Before you choose anger and violence as a response to social issues, remember the words of Christian teacher Paul of Tarsus. “If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.”  

By J.E. Nickerson It is easy to get stick in the regret of the past. Sometimes it is hard to move on when we have made mistakes or suffered losses. But God gives us the ability to forgive ourselves and move forward.  Pastor and teacher Paul of Tarsus, wrote in the book of Philippians, that he had not achieved all of his goals. But he had made up his mind with God’s help, to let go of the past and reach on for the future. His exact words were “ This  one thing  I do , forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.” Let God give you the ability to let go of the past and reach towards the future, setting your mind on positive things and goals God has equipped you to achieve.

  By J.E. Nickerson Have you ever chased after someone’s approval, only to be disappointed by their lack of interest in your life? Many people look to friends, colleagues or family for a sense of self justification or worth and value. This can be a self esteem trap and cause us endless heartache and sadness.  While we should set high standards of excellence for ourselves, when we allow our personal value and self worth to be based on other people’s opinions of us, we are setting ourselves up for eventual heartache. That is because people’s opinions vary and change unpredictably. The person we are hoping to win the approval of, may never fully care about us in the way we want them to. I have often heard the expression that if you live for the approval of other people, you will die from the pain of their rejection.  Because people can be capricious, their opinions and approval of our lives, is not a safe or stable foundation to build our self esteem on.  Instead, we must turn to God who

  Learning to rest is a challenge sometimes. Many people have busy schedules and a list of commitments that can leave them feeling drained and exhausted by the end of the day or week. But Jesus told us that he gave us peace that transcends our understanding. It is not peace that comes from completing our to do lists.  When addressing the business of life, Jesus invited people who were stressed out, burdened with life’s cares and who were overworked from their daily lives to come to him and find rest. He invited them to rest in God’s provision and mercy. King David also spoke of resting in God when he said God’s mercy is new every morning.  Open your life up to God and let him give you peace and rest today. Ask him how you can calm your mind and unburden yourself from the stress of life.
