Renewing Your Mind · Questions & Answers: Living by Faith · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

And those forms then say as well, if you're really in doubt, talk to your minister or elders to help you think through this.

as well.

So that can be helpful.

Well, I think the Apostle Paul really illustrates that for us, doesn't he?

That he knows that his eternal home is better.

He knows to be closer to Christ in glory is better, but he also knows that as long as the Lord leaves him here, his calling is here to serve the Lord here.

So, we need to have that faith that better days are coming.

that glory is coming, but we also have to trust, as Joel was talking about, in all circumstances of life, God's providence and God's calling to us in this life.

As we were getting ready to come over here, Sinclair and I were talking about some of these things, and it brought to my mind a statement I read in one of Calvin's letters that has always stayed with me, where Calvin said we should live as birds on a branch.

Now, what's the character of birds on the branch?

They sit there so still, so stable, so apparently almost connected to the branch, and yet can fly away in a moment.

And that's what Calvin has in his mind.

We're here, we need to be stable here, we need to be committed here, but we need to be free of here in a certain sense so that we're ready whenever it's the Lord's timing to go and be with Him.

And that's what we have to try to cultivate, that balance we have to try to cultivate.

Renewing Your Mind · Does Prayer Change Things? · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

If God is sovereign, why do we need to pray?

If God has promised something, He's going to do it, right?

Whether we pray about it or not, why do we need to pray?

None of these promises are fulfilled mechanically, automatically, insensitively.

All of these promises a personal God has made to His people

And this personal God wants his people to meditate on these promises and to enter into the fulfillment of these promises by praying for the promises to be fulfilled.
