When Hard Work Isn’t Enough

When Fear Stops Us

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295449/fan_mail/new] When Fear Stops Us Sometimes we fear the worst and refuse to try. Romans reminds us that we “did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear…” — from Romans 8:15. Some of our fears are well founded. We don’t deny the dangers or the risks. But we won’t be paralyzed by them either. Other fears are not well founded, and we refuse to become slaves to them. In both cases, we seek to make reality-based decisions, guided by faith and hope rather than constrained by fear. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

When We’re Tired Of Hurting

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295449/fan_mail/new] When We Are Tired of Hurting Sometimes we get tired of hurting. The pain is real, and the danger is too. But some kinds of pain lead to life. Romans reminds us that creation is “groaning together… in the pains of labor.” — Romans 8:22 Labor is painful, but it is also the way new possibilities become realities. When we find ourselves in this kind of pain, we are encouraged to hold onto hope and keep moving forward in love. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

When The Right Things Still Go Wrong

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295449/fan_mail/new] When the Right Things Still Go Wrong Sometimes we do the right things, and get the wrong results. “So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well.” — from Matthew 13:26 Weeds? They hadn’t planted any weeds. Only grain. Yet there they were. Still, they didn’t abandon the field. They didn’t plow it under either. They continued to tend the field, trusting that everything would be sorted at the harvest. I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.
