We can all agree that when it comes to membership in the human race, worry is part of the package. We also know that it's a useless and unhealthy vice.
Corrie ten Boom used to recite a little couplet: "Worry is an old man with bended head, carrying a load of feathers which he thinks are lead." She understood that anxiety is ultimately foolish because it concerns that which isn't. It lives in a future that can't be foreseen. It deals in what-ifs and could-bes, speculation and possibility.
Worry is part of being human — but that doesn't make it healthy. Dr. David Jeremiah offers Bible verses to win the fight against worry and anxiety. |

November 25 — Bishop T.D. Jakes experienced a "slight health incident" while preaching at his Dallas megachurch this weekend. The Potter's House of Dallas attributed the incident to overheating and stated that Jakes is stable and under medical care. His daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and her husband, Touré Roberts, later reassured the congregation that Jakes is recovering well and thanked everyone for their prayers. (RNS) |
| November 26 — Scholar and writer Karen Swallow Prior responded to a concerning trend: elite college students struggling to read entire books. The issue goes beyond education, she says, also affecting religious practices such as Bible engagement. The church played a key role in promoting literacy in the wake of the Protestant Reformation. Today, it can again lead by encouraging deep reading through book and Bible Studies. (RNS) |
| November 26 — American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation is an often overlooked ministry in churches. Despite an estimated 11 million Deaf or hard of hearing Americans, or about 3.6% of the population, few churches provide ASL interpretation. (For example, only 30 are included in the Deaf Bible Society's Maryland database of over 5,000 churches.) Ministries like Holy Hands are aiming to change that with trainings and support. (RNS) |

For some of us the word "Advent" brings to mind itsy, bitsy chocolates behind teensy, weensy cardboard doors on decorative three-dimensional calendars that count down to Christmas. As a kid, Lisa Harper desperately wanted her mom to buy one of those calendars with all the petite sweets behind the darling doors that were mysteriously associated with Jesus's birth.
But as Lisa later learned, Advent is about more than sweet treats — and it is something worth celebrating for all followers of Jesus. |
