A God Who Defends

2 Kings 6:8–22|Wednesday, November 6, 2024

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. The early bird gets the worm. Sayings like these remind us that often success is achieved by the prepared, the aggressive, or the calculating. While this may be true, the original audience for 2 Kings was in no position to achieve success.

Supporting Our Pastors

I am a pastor, and I help mentor pastors who are starting out in the ministry. Many are experiencing stress and burnout as well as challenges to their emotional and spiritual well-being. What can we do to better support pastors?

Whether one should be involved with a church whose doctrinal views differ from one’s own has divided many Christians. The answer depends upon a combination of factors, including how we define involvement, the nature of doctrinal differences, and the conviction of our conscience. The apostle Paul seems to have applied a flexible standard on some matters, keeping certain fundamental beliefs as his benchmark.
