We must remember for the simple reason that we are so prone to forget. It is one of so many reasons we must study our Bibles diligently and consistently. It is far too easy to forget the gospel in the busyness of our everyday lives. When we miss reading our Bibles one day, it’s too easy to forget it the next. Soon we’ve gone a week or a month without opening God’s word or praying or entering into true fellowship with God, soon we’ve gone far too long without remembering the gospel. Reading God’s word every day is our weapon in our battle against gospel amnesia. No matter how busy our lives look today, let’s grab our Bibles and remember the gospel.⠀ ⠀ ep. 81 | remembering | @betsytgomez
On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast I’m chatting with Betsy Gómez about remembering. We talked about everything from why it’s important for us to practice the discipline of remembrance to how actually doing so impacts our everyday lives. We really hope you’ll find this conversation helpful as you remember, reflect upon, and rejoice in the reality of the gospel as you look back on your year. ⠀ ⠀ Betsy said, “The glory of God is the main goal. When I understand that I need community and when I understand that the Bible is my authority, then I am free to serve and to do community with the people I’m surrounded with. I think that we need to surround ourselves with people who will tell us the truth, and we need to be intentional in speaking the truth.”⠀ ⠀ So you’ll know her a little better, Betsy has a passion to help others savor the gospel. She manages the blogs and supervises media for Aviva Nuestros Corazones (Revive Our Hearts Hispanic outreach). She’s (slowly) pursuing a master’s degree in Ministry to Women at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. I can’t wait for you to hear from her today! As always, you can find our conversation at the link in our profile or wherever you listen to podcasts by searching for "Journeywomen."
“In 1 Peter 1:13 we are commanded to set our hope fully on the grace that will be brought to us at the revelation Jesus Christ. That includes the holidays!⠀ ⠀ When I walk into Thanksgiving, when I walk into Christmas, when I walk into Valentine's day, or whatever holiday it is, I’m going to set my hope fully on the grace that will brought to me upon the revelation of Jesus Christ.⠀ ⠀ If our hope is anchored to Christ, our identity is rooted in him and his work on the cross. Our joy comes from being invited to enter into his joy, our victory is connected to the power of the resurrection, then we don’t have to be so self protective. And if we’re anchored to Jesus we can let go of busying ourselves with temporary and fleeting joys and hold onto the everlasting joy.” -Amy Waters⠀ ⠀ ep. 80 | when the holidays are hard | @spinneywaters⠀
Family can be harder to love than friends. We don’t get to choose our family, but God in his sovereignty chose them for us and us for them. They are our first neighbors, and there is no mistaking his calling to serve and love them with the gospel. For some of us this is easy in theory, but difficult in practice. Others can’t even imagine loving their dysfunctional relatives in the way Jesus loves us. But this Christmas season God will equip us for the calling to love our families through experiencing the sacrificial love that sent his only son to save an unloveable people. We can offer this grace to our families because he first offered it to us.⠀ ⠀ ep. 80 | when the holidays are hard | @spinneywaters⠀ ⠀ 📷: @nicole.m.regan
