Articles Tagged 'Reconcil'

For over 30 years, Heartlight has shared articles to help people live for Jesus in everyday life. While we are no longer publishing new articles, this enduring collection features relevant pieces throughout the year to encourage faith, offer biblical perspective, and speak to real-world joys and struggles.

A Time to Weep

Philip Gulley talks about his dad's heart surgery and his directions for his funeral service in case he didn't survive and the lasting impact this has had on Phillip's life.

What time is it in your relationship with your older friends and family? What time is it in your own life? Are you ready for closing time?

Overcoming the Power of Hatred

Demetrius Collins and Phil Ware lead us in a virtual, DIY, worship through words and music using YouTube videos to call us to be people of reconciliation, forgiveness, and grace, just like our Savior!

We commit to be Jesus-shaped people, people who leave the world a different and better place than we found it.

Overcoming the Greater Pandemic: From Guilt to Forgiveness

James Nored in video, and Phil Ware using the Scriptures, remind us of the beauty and the cost to God of saving us and forgiving us, and giving us a new life.

A genuine disciple, and especially an apostle, follows the path of Jesus who gave up his life to seek, serve, and save the lost.

Jesus Smiled

Phil Ware reminds us of John Mark's failure when he deserted the mission field and the mission team and describes how God used this mess and the grace, mercy, and love of godly men to bring great good out of potential disaster.

Our God is the God of surprising opportunities, fresh hope, and new life.

Skipping Communion?

Phil Ware reflects on the words of Jesus, the actions of the apostle Paul, and the example of a couple of men in his life, all focused on the theme of reconciliation.

Jesus didn't pray for unity just so Christians could sit in a happy circle, hold hands, and sing Kum Ba Yah around the campfire at church camp.

Treasure

Phil Ware tells us a simple story of a mother's love to remind how our Father sees us as his treasure.

How can such a discovery, no matter how badly dirt-encrusted and stained, not be seen as a genuine treasure?

God Still Cares

James Nored and Phil Ware continue their messages on God's plan of redemption and how God longs to restore us to himself.

When we have sinned, fallen short of God's plans for us, and have disappointed our heavenly Father, we assume he puts us into his “club for the unwanteds.”

Best News Ever

Our sin has separated us from God and we cannot fix it. So God did. Best news ever.

Everyone loves good news... so how much better to hear the best news ever.

I Am Begging You to Do One Thing

We are not asking you to adopt a moral code, go to church, or even "become a Christian." We are begging you to get back together with God.

There is only one thing I really want my non-beleiving friends to do

Shattered

Phil Ware talks about what to do when relationships are shattered and how it feels easier to trade in those relationships for new ones, but asks if this is really smartest and if it honors Christ and our walk with God.

What do you do when things fracture between you and someone important to you?

Lose It for Good!

Beyond weight loss, why do we keep picking up old burdens and carrying them, Ron Rose reminds us to set aside the past burdens and come to Jesus.

Why do we keep putting it back on our backs?

Better Broken: 11!

Phil Ware continues his series, Better Broken, focusing on the problem of there being 11 apostles and how people fail us and what are we doing to do to go on after we've been betrayed.

What do you do with the one who is missing?

Wasted Time!

Phil Ware continues his series on the prodigal son called The Journey Home, and he focuses on the older brother and God's desire to throw him a party.

Haven't we all wasted enough time piddling around when there is a party going on?

Building the Bridge to Bring Us Home

Phil Ware begins a new series called light on the dark side of the mountain focusing on the fall and the cracks that became a chasm in the lives of God's first children.

Is there really light on the dark side of the mountain?

A Knock at the Door

No matter what we've done, God is willing to seek us out and bring us back home.

Somebody's at the door.

The Hand of God

If you Google "Hand of God" the initial results are probably not what you might have expected.

If you Google “Hand of God”

Irreconcilable Differences

Warren Baldwin encourages us to try harder in our marriage relationships to prevent divorce using the standard irreconcilable differences as our reason for splitting up a marriage.

What really is the cause?

A Time to Weep

Philip Gulley talks about his dad's heart surgery and his directions for his funeral service in case he didn't survive.

What time is it in your relationship with your Dad?

Driving Lessons

Driver's Ed teaches us that we have to drive responsibly for everyone, not just ourselves!

Where can we learn the real truth about living in a conflict filled world?

Hopeless?

Infidelity wrecks lives and destroys families, but only by coming to the truth can its impact be healed.

Is your marriage really hopeless?

A Difficult Word

One way to learn the art of reconciliation is to look at the word as meaning re-cancellation -- cancelling the debt, the sin, the hurt between us and another.

What's your toughtest word to spell in your lifestyle?

Never Too Late!

The greatest joy is knowing that we will see each other again!

It's not too late to mend that relationship in the Lord.
