Nobody’s Perfect ;) | NEXT FAITHFUL STEP

Nobody’s Perfect ;). He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous… (Luke 18:9 ESV). In the 80s, Porsche ran a brilliant campaign to highlight the quality of their vehicles, built on a tongue-in-cheek admission of their own flaws. Of course, their “admission” illustrated their high achievement and near-perfection. It was an effective blend of humor, message and something that looked like humility. WHAT’S YOUR MODEL? There’s no sweeter ride than that! I liked how you...

March 9, 2015. This is a guest post by my friend Kimm Crandall. If you don’t know Kimm, you should. Her Twitter profile says it all. “Sainted sinner standing in the loser line waiting for grace.”. This is a great blog. She mainly writes for moms, but I needed this as well. I gave up today. I didn’t want to do it anymore. You know, the whole Christian walk thing. Trying to be a good mom, trying to do it all well. Maybe I used the stress and the tiredness of the night as an excuse. You’ve spent the week in...

http://maandpamodern.com/that-day-we-almost-lost-davy
Ma and Pa Modern. That Day We Almost Lost Davy. In almost 10 years of parenting, I can only think of 3 times when I have been truly terrified for my children’s safety. Today makes it 4. I was making lunch today and it was unusually quiet. 8220;Can someone find David? 8221; I called. Lilly and William went in search calling, “Davy! 8221; as they walked around the house. They went into the backyard and a minute later called, “he’s not out here Mom! I am a bit OCD about keeping our back gate closed. He was ...

Favorite Worship Song | NEXT FAITHFUL STEP
https://nextfaithfulstep.wordpress.com/2015/03/01/favorite-worship-song
My taste in worship music has really changed in the last few years. Or I should say that my “taste” has become focused on the meaning conveyed by the words. And the words in this song are beautifully gospel-centric. “Not in Me” invites us to sing the great truth that in Jesus, “It is finished.” Take a listen to one of my favorite worship songs. For the record, this is just a fan review. No wheels were greased. Share this with your friends:. Share on Facebook (Opens in new window). Had not heard this one!

Gospel vs. Creativity? | NEXT FAITHFUL STEP
https://nextfaithfulstep.wordpress.com/2015/03/09/gospel-vs-creativity
Gospel vs. Creativity? Here’s something I’m struggling with: does creative communication work for or against the gospel? And yet I keep thinking about Paul’s words in the 1 Corinthians 2:1-5,. Paul was concerned that if he spoke too well, too impressively, that his hearers would miss Jesus and put their faith in him instead. He didn’t want to have flawless logic, outstanding arguments, or smooth speech. Elsewhere he says that he prefers “setting forth the truth plainly.”. Photo credit: catering operator.
