Habits shape our daily actions and ultimately determine the course of our lives. In a world filled with distractions and unhealthy patterns, how can we break free from the habits that hold us back? The Bible offers practical wisdom for creating lasting change, guiding us toward healthier choices that lead to personal growth and a more impactful life.

The Expectant Disciple – Rev 14:1-13

A disciple of Christ is one who is redeemed from the earth. But what hope does this disciple of Christ hold on to, in order to remain faithful and fruitful? St Augustine of Hippo explains how this hope for the future, shapes this disciple: Paraphrased, his statement in essence reads:

“He, who loves the coming of the Lord, is not one who affirms that the return is far off, nor is it he who says it is near. But rather he awaits, whether Christ’s return be far off or near; and expectantly looks forward with sincere faith, steadfast hope, and fervent love.”

Some of us stay away from church because we think we do not belong. We have made mistakes that make us question if we could ever be accepted by God. But the message of Christianity turns this on its head: the church is not for the perfect but for those who know they need help. Discover what it truly means to be a Christian!
