Living in the Spirit

1 day ago | thebrunswicknews.com | David Yarborough

Have you learned to live in the Spirit's Power? We must remember that it is faith over formula. There can be seasons of spiritual fatigue that hit every honest believer at some point. You're doing all the right things - reading your Bible, going to church, maybe even leading a small group - but deep down you're running on empty. Maybe you're starting to wonder: Is this all there is? Paul's letter to the Galatians offers a sobering diagnosis and a hopeful cure.
Does God still work miracles?

1 week ago | thebrunswicknews.com | David Yarborough

Can we rediscover the power that many of us have forgotten? For many in our culture, the word "miracle" has become sentimental or symbolic, reserved for Hallmark movies, medical anomalies, or underdog sports victories. We might pray for a miracle when we're desperate, but deep down, many wonder if God really shows up in power anymore. Truthfully, we have found ourselves living in an age of scientific brilliance, technological wonders, and clean theological categories.
Spiritual Mithril

Imagine this: It's your child's birthday. You've wrapped a perfect gift and placed it on the table. But instead of opening it, your child pulls out a broom, starts sweeping the floor, and asks, "Am I doing enough to earn it yet?" You'd probably laugh - and then feel a little sad. That's what many of us do spiritually. We've been given the greatest gift in the world - the Holy Spirit - yet we keep trying to earn what God freely gives. And we're missing out on the power available to us.

Let Jesus be enough

Have you ever tried to pay someone back for a gift that was freely given? Imagine being handed a priceless painting, only to respond by pulling out a brush and trying to "touch it up." You wouldn't be improving it - you'd be insulting the artist. That's exactly what happens when we try to add to the Gospel.

The 'exchanged life'

1 month ago | thebrunswicknews.com | David Yarborough

Have you ever heard of the guy who robbed a convenience store and then handed the clerk his driver's license to prove he was old enough to buy alcohol? Or the burglar who logged into Facebook while stealing from someone's home - and forgot to log out? Believe it or not, people get themselves locked up for some of the dumbest reasons. Spiritual people do the same thing though. Not by breaking into houses or robbing liquor stores - but by trading their spiritual freedom for self-made religion.
Answering the wake-up call

1 month ago | thebrunswicknews.com | David Yarborough

It is time to wake up! Have you ever had someone calling to you in the morning while every ounce of your being wants to stay horizontal between the covers? Or perhaps you hear the alarm clock blare and you hit snooze - more than once because you just can't find the energy to arise. We have all been there at some point where we just can't seem to wake up. In a similar way, as Christians we can often find ourselves dealing with a different kind of slumber.
Are you on the spiritual treadmill?

"Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ." - Galatians 1:10 In our social media age, these words from Paul hit differently. We live in a world obsessed with likes, shares and followers. Apps like Instagram and TikTok have turned approval-seeking into both an art form and an addiction.
