How to stay balanced in a chaotic world

September 26, 2012

The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.

1 Peter 4:7

I’m often asked, “Pastor, what do you pray for most often for your own life?” And if I think about it, I’d say one of my most common prayers is for balance in life. I pray that God would give me physical, emotional, and spiritual balance through any hardship I face, especially in these uncertain days.

Now what do I mean by that? Well, look at our world today. There’s so much upheaval in world economics, in politics, in churches, and in the lives of individuals and families. And I know for a fact that there are real spiritual forces at work behind that chaos. But many follow the chaotic winds of change and are swayed back and forth so much, they can’t even discern truth anymore.

However in today’s verse, the apostle Peter tells you and me that the key to maintaining focus in days of doubt is to be self-controlled and sober-minded. We can’t let the world sway us; we must remain steady in our faith.

Stay grounded in life by building your well-being on the foundation of Jesus Christ. He’s the only One Who will never move when the winds of the world shift. So trust Him and find your balance!

FIND BALANCE WHEN LIFE GETS CHAOTIC BY MAINTAINING A FIRM FOOTING ON THE FOUNDATION OF CHRIST.

Get straight, biblical answers to questions our culture is asking!


Dear Friend,

A lot of people doubt the Bible has anything good to say – much less relevant answers to questions about things like same-sex marriage and abortion. But the truth is, the Bible contains the very words of God about these subjects and so much more.

That’s why I want to send you a copy of my popular series on CD called ‘Straight Up.’

Packed with the truth of Scripture, ‘Straight Up’ will give you the tools you need to give a loving and compassionate response to our culture about issues such as:

  • Same-sex marriage
  • Abortion
  • Tolerance
  • God’s will
  • And much more!

‘Straight Up’ is my gift to thank you for your donation to help PowerPoint continue to proclaim truth to our truth-hungry world. So please request it when you give today. Thank you!
