The core of the Christian experience is centered on the Bible and who the Bible is written about: God. The scriptures are a record of the events, actions, thoughts, and instructions for our human existence; all 66 books, authored by human hands that moved at the will of our God. In this sense, the Bible is a journal, THE journal for us to read, reflect, and respond to.

Advent simply means the arrival of a notable person, thing, or event. For us, it is the arrival of Christ, both at his birth and also the anticipation of his imminent return. In Advent, we are reminded of the faithfulness of Christ’s coming. We remember the eager waiting for His first arrival and how He was faithful to come as He promised to rescue us from our sins. And our excitement is stirred as we await His return to bring justice and make all things new. It is a special time of the year, but one we must be careful not to waste.

Health is multifaceted, and knowing that can help us have a healthier view of health. Think of it as stewardship and how the different areas in our lives that we are to steward can actually help give us a healthy balance.
