Do you throw a great party? Do people give you compliments on your entertaining skills?

“Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling” (1 Peter 4:9 NIV). 

 Phew – You’ve got this one down.

Are you sure?

Devastated by my husband’s leaving, I was searching for advice on how to cope and move on. Were my ears deceiving me? Did this Christian counselor just tell me to prepare for more abandonment?

You see, my female counselor bought the lie that women aren’t capable of authentic friendships. Have you ever heard a woman say (or perhaps it was you), “Women are so catty” or “Females are so manipulative?” We trash our own sex and wonder why men say that women can’t be friends.

Do you ever take online quizzes or the ones in the magazines? You know the quizzes I mean:
– what animal are you most like?
– if I were ice cream what flavor would I be?
– which “Friends” or “Disney” character are you most like?

Have you ever noticed that we go all out at Christmas and not so much for Easter?  This year it has been on my mind, and frankly, I am little ashamed of myself. Where’s the joy?

Ever wonder if you are fulfilling the Great Commission? I do. Listed below are five mission opportunities and no passport is needed.
