One honest reality about life is that it’s a continual learning experience. This reality is not specific to one aspect of life. Learning can take place in all areas and stages of life and applies to men, women, children, teens and seniors. When it comes to living a Christian life, walking by faith, raising children in a Christian home and sharing your Christian belief with others, it’s very helpful to have pastors such as Ed Young who are willing to share their knowledge and life experiences. From them, you can gain fact-based guidance, encouragement and inspiration.
Continual learning
No matter how long you have been delving into the scriptures, there’s always something new you can learn from them. It may be that when you hear a sermon or read a story in a daily devotional magazine, you gain a new perspective on a scripture that you have heard time and time again. One way to continue acquiring Biblical knowledge and discovering more ways to apply Biblical teachings to your personal situations is to use Bible study tools and guides carefully prepared by those who have extensively studied the Bible.
Strengthening Your Faith
Most likely, at some point in your life you have had an experience or circumstance occur that has tested your faith. During a difficult time, your faith may have falter under the pressure of the situation or wavered when you have experienced a spiritual attack. Having a home library of faith based books and a video collection of sermons that inspire and encourage you gives you an instant resource to help build and restore your faith. Finding a radio ministry, such as The Winning Walk, that you can consistently listen to will provide you a constant source of guidance and encouragement.
Raising a family
Raising kids is not an easy task. Each new generation experiences temptations, struggles and dangers that the previous generation never had to deal with. As a parent, you must stay informed and aware of the type of attacks on the mind your child is exposed to. Creating a Christian home environment, setting aside family Bible study time and praying with your children each day can provide a good foundation for them. As a parent, it’s essential that you be readily available to guide your kids through difficult times, provide them with books, videos and all other available resources to help them make it through the maze of confusion they are exposed to.
Senior years
Even if you have been walking with Christ for many years, you may find your faith faltering in your senior years. This stage of life presents a new set of issues, challenges and uncertainties. This may be a period in your life when you need to delve deeper into the Bible and spend time reading or listening to some inspirational and encouraging stories that are relevant to seniors.
Life has its unique set of challenges for every phase we live through. There is no age restriction on learning. You should always be looking for new information and resources that will help you gain a clearer understanding of the Bible and help strengthen your faith.
