El viejo ser que envejece y cada vez mayor solo(parte?)

Hoy es mi cumpleaños. ¡Yippee! Realmente, no puedo estar parado el envejecimiento y el crecimiento más viejo por otro año, sino lo los golpes seguros el alternativa. He hablado a un número de cristiano escojo (y hay muchos hacia fuera allí) quiénes también están teniendo, nosotros digo, un envejecimiento difícil del tiempo agraciado también. ¿Por qué sentía un tinte de la comodidad como ellos rayo de sus propias ediciones con el envejecimiento?

El hacer frente al envejecimiento y crecimiento más viejo

Qué hemos encontrado es básicamente que usted puede representar gráficamente escoge' actitudes sobre el envejecimiento como curva de la campana. Las buenas noticias aquí son esa mayoría de ambos extremos, veinte-algo escoge y el mayor escoge, está manejando la autorización del envejecimiento. El anteriores raramente le dan pensamiento, y el último grupo de más viejo escoge (asombrosamente en mi opinión) ha ajustado a la idea que el cuerpo “apenas no es lo que era. ”' A estos sanos escoge “edad es justo un número.”

Sin embargo, el grupo de los solos cristianos que tienen apuro con el envejecimiento y crecimiento viejos es 30 somethings y 40 somethings. Muchos en este grupo, las solas hembras o los solos varones, sienten la tensión del reloj el hacer tictac de tiempo. Bombear los vientres, los pectorals y los pechos que ceden y fechar estrago del wreak de las decepciones en las mentes del un montón de éstos escoge. El tiro en el miedo de restante escoge por siempre y escoge problemas parenting, y no es ninguna maravilla eso ansiedad y la depresión plaga a este grupo más que cualquier otro.

Cómo tratar de Agiing sin el gimoteo

Tenía recientemente una gran conversación con un individuo cristiano de 80 años que me ayudó a conseguir un ajuste de la actitud en mis opiniones sobre el envejecimiento. Él dio tres sugerencias, de que que le pasaré encendido. Él me prometió que si fuera acertado en hacer esto conquistaría mi phobia sobre el envejecimiento y el crecimiento viejo. Oh bien, aquí están:

  • Tome consejo a Jesús' y viva un savor del día a la vez… realmente… realmente… él como si fuera su último en la tierra.
  • Tome su mente de usted (los oops, él me tenía aquí!) y el servicio otros con un corazón sincero que satisface el comando en Romans a “rejoice con los que rejoice, y llorar con los que lloren.”
  • Dios de la toma en su palabra como usted espera en él para sus necesidades y bendición futura 

Hey, me siento mejor ya. Are you a single Christian with something to share about aging?

Daily Devotional for Singles(share daily devotional thoughts?)

daily devotional

Each Lord’s day we will be bringing you a daily devotional for singles from Pastor David Gremban of Calvary Chapel Ann Arbor, located in Ann Arbor (MI) Michigan. Since many single Christians live such busy lives, daily devotional and Bible study guides as found on the web can save us time and be spiritually uplifting.

Even for those Christian singles who have a daily devotional, living a godly single life in Christ is a difficult, if not impossible thing to do. Our world, Satan and even our own flesh tempt us with sexual impurity, stress, anxiety and depression. Having problems with any of these can influence us toward making poor decisions in our lives, including our dating relationship choices.

Fortunately, the great news as believers is that we have the Holy Spirit who can help us with our thoughts, words and actions in order to live victoriously in Jesus. May you be encouraged through our daily devotional.

Daily Devotional for Today

In Ephesians 4:29-32, we’re instructed to “put off” old practices and to “put on” new practices. We are particularly challenged in the following three areas.

First, we are challenged in regard to our words (v. 29), to speak words of life, words that edify others, and words that impart grace to the hearer.

Second, we are challenged in regard to our spiritual sensitivity (v. 30), to not grieve the Holy Spirit, but to respond to His correction and to His promptings.

Third, we are challenged in regard to our attitudes (v. 31-32), to put away bitterness and festering anger, and to instead walk in forgiveness, following God’s example. A believer in Christ has been made into a new creation… let’s adopt practices that reflect the wonderful work of God’s grace in our lives.

Bible Verse of Day

“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians 4:29-32

If you’re part of a Christian singles group ministry or church, and would like to share a daily devotional with thousands of singles worldwide, please feel free to contact us.

Christian Relationship Advice for Singles2

Many singles contact us for Christian relationship advice, often asking questions like, “Should I get out of this relationship?” or “Should I leave this person?” Many times, however, Christian relationship advice is hard to give on issues like these because we don’t have all the information on the involved parties. Also, when dishing out Christian relationship advice, I’ve learned a long time ago to get both sides of the story before giving any advice on a topic.

Christian Relationship Advice in the Bible

Perhaps most important of all, specific Christian relationship advice on dating and issues related to singles is rarely found in the Scriptures. So what kind of Christian relationship advice do we offer?

First, if you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, you have the Holy Spirit, the counselor of truth, abiding in you. He promises to guide you and lead in all areas, including helping you make wise decisions regarding relationships. In our Bible verse of the day, James 1:5 reads:

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”

Secondly, we have written a number of general Christian relationship advice articles dealing with the Christian singles life. These articles may be useful for Christians seeking general Chrisrtian relationship advice. For example:

Christian Relationship Advice on How to Mend a Broken Heart
Christian Relationship Advice About Dating Unbelievers
Christian Relationship Advice After Suffering Rejection
