Dick Scott (1936-2022) has dedicated much of his life to painstakingly translating the Bible into the Emberá language of the Choco Indians in Panama—a project that, after decades, is nearing publication.
The apostle Paul had every reason to become calloused and embittered in ministry. However, as Foursquare Pastor Peter Henderson describes, we see Paul's commitment to authentic, personal investment in the people he served.
In Matt. 6, we read the classic message Jesus Christ gave on worry. Foursquare Credentialed Minister Heidi Sheldon shares how a new perspective on that lesson has changed the paradigm of her prayer life and ushered in greater dependence on God.
Is it possible to have healthy change in our lives? Change requires vulnerability, and vulnerability has the potential to provoke our shame—but Foursquare Pastor Russell Schlecht suggests there is a way out of this cycle.
Gal. 6:7 says, "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" (NKJV). What are you are sowing today?
How connected are we, really? In Mark 1:16, we see Jesus going to the beach to engage His first disciples face to face. What does Christ's example teach us about discipleship today?
Like Paul and Barnabas, our call to make disciples includes bringing the light of truth to others.
Jesus said that we would be justified by our words, as well as condemned by them (Matt. 12:37). The book of Malachi also addresses the affect of our words and warns us of three types of statements that God finds contemptible.
The key to discipleship isn't necessarily answering all of life's questions or even offering biblical solutions to every problem. Rather, it's modeling a posture that allows for Jesus to draw near in every situation we face.
