Getting Used

Have you ever felt used? It’s a crummy feeling to be treated as a pawn or stepping stone in someone’s plan, as an unwilling object used for another’s benefit or pleasure. It’s dehumanizing and it’s painful, but there is another way to think about being used. God wants to use us and in Mark 10:17-31, a wealthy man gets a direct invitation from Jesus to be used by God for good in God’s kingdom. He rejects this invitation because he cannot let go of his wealth. How will you respond to this invitation?

I also give some reasons I don’t engage in online controversies and arguments, plus I have 2 books to suggest to you which I have recently read.

This month is also Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
