Word of the Day – Forgiveness Colossians 3:13

February 28, 2023 February 26, 2023

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. We should always be ready to forgive others, just as God forgives us. Holding onto grudges only hurts ourselves and prevents us from fully experiencing God’s love and peace.

Five Life Practices to Peace

Daily Prayer and Bible Reading - One of the most important Christian practices is to spend time daily in prayer and reading the Bible. This helps us to grow closer to God, gain wisdom, and develop a deeper understanding of His will for our lives.
Practicing Forgiveness - Forgiveness is a vital Christian practice that helps us to release bitterness and resentment towards others. We are called to forgive others as Christ has forgiven us (Ephesians 4:32), and doing so frees us from the burden of holding onto grudges.
Loving and Serving Others - Jesus teaches us to love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:31), and this includes serving others in practical ways. This can be through volunteering, donating to charity, or simply showing kindness and compassion to those around us.
Practicing Generosity - Christians are called to be generous with their time, talents, and resources. Giving back to others in need not only helps to meet their physical needs, but also shares the love of Christ and builds relationships.
Worship and Fellowship - Participating in worship and fellowship with other believers is an important Christian practice that helps us to stay connected to the community of faith. Through worship, prayer, and fellowship, we are strengthened and encouraged in our faith journey.
