The Balance of God and Family
How do we fit God into our busy lives? The first thing we can do is to word the question differently. We should ask, how do we fit our lives - marriage, singleness, hobbies, kids, work - into God's will and desire for our lives? It's not easy, but adjusting how we view the balance of faith, work, family, and play is critical for us to find the true joy and life that God desires for us. ABOUT THIS 1 CORINTHIANS SERIES: Life is messy. Church life is messy. Every church has problems, because every church is made up of people. But God has called His people to come together to live life alongside each other and to encourage and carry each other, even amid difficult and challenging circumstances. The Apostle Paul planted a church in Corinth, Greece, and it very quickly became a church that dealt with many problems. They lacked maturity and wisdom, despite being a very gifted church. 1 Corinthians is a fatherly challenge and guide to them to help them get back on track and grow in the wisdom they need.
