I am starting to really enjoy listening to Tim Keller. In today’s reflection post, this short video talks about how Bible interpretation differs from one part to the other. Ultimately, I agree with Tim Keller that the Bible is not meant to be interpreted literally throughout. However, we must be careful to not say it is literal or not literal as a whole. It is through prayer and study we can know the difference. The important thing to remember is it is God inspired and it is His message to us.

2014 Day 236 – Tim Keller: True Happiness

If all we do is seek happiness, we will never really have it. If our number one priority is to serve God, we will get happiness through it. One of the most profound statements in this video is, “Aim at heaven, you get earth through in. Aim at earth, you get neither.” The less we are concerned about happiness and the more we are concerned about Him, the happier we will be.

There is not much spiritual about this video, but I thought is was really cute. It’s short, but you have to watch to the end… Super special!

The video below does a great job of showing how true Jesus’ words were in Mark 12:43-44 regarding giving. 43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

2014 Day 215 – Crime Worth Forgiving

This video is such a good reminder of what it means to give to others and the eternal impact it has on us. How we treat others, no matter how insignificant it may seem, does mean something either positively or negatively. Let us all intentionally work to be positive influences on those around us.

2014 Day 208 – Francis Chan: Are Your Beliefs Biblical

If we only had the Bible, and no one else’s opinions fed to us, would we still believe what we believe? We owe it to ourselves to dig into the scriptures and learn for ourselves what we need to know about God. Francis Chan’s video clip below may step on some people’s toes, but I think he brings up some very important points about our personal conclusions and beliefs. This is part of the reason why I write this blog everyday; it challenges me to dig into God’s word daily and hear directly from Him.

We are becoming a society where we are more “social” online, yet we are becoming less social in reality. The following video is a poem depicted in a love story showing how we continue to find ways to make it easier to connect with one another through technology, but always results in us spending more time alone and ultimately risking the potential to miss out in the life we are intended to have. God intended for us to be social and supportive in community. You can’t do that through your smart phone as much as we may try.

Years of concussions have left NFL-great Ben Utecht with a brain disease that is taking his memory at only 30 years old. But it’s what he did with the memories he had left that will leave you in tears! I hope you enjoy this video.

Where would I be without Jesus? That is a question I often ask myself. The video below by Shane and Shane reminded me how empty my life would be without Him. In the end, I could have it all and still have nothing if not for His saving grace and the Holy Spirit’s presence in my life.

2014 Day 180 – John Piper: Prayer Causes Things To Happen

God asks us to pray, not because He needs us to ask, but because it is a privilege to interact with the creator of the universe. We are children of God and He wants us to have a personal relationship with Him where we interact with Him and ask Him to intercede in our lives.
