Made to Be Seen

October 17, 2017

Author Sara Hagerty and Barbara Rainey remind listeners that we were created to be seen first by God, and then by the people around us. We're supposed to produce a light that shines, but to do that, it's necessary to move closer to the source—Christ. God is available at any time, so we need to remember to invite Him into each and every moment of our day.

When you love someone who continually makes wrong choices, what should you do? Co-authors Dave Harvey and Paul Gilbert remind listeners that even though you'd do anything to see your loved one restored to the right place, the prodigal mindset doesn't respect the fear or neediness of the person trying to love them. So the offended must exhibit a rugged love that draws boundaries, and must not enable sinful behavior.
