September 27th-Attitude Adjustment

Summary: Today’s bible readings explore our ability to change our behavior. Often, we look to blame others for our circumstances, but blame does not get us anywhere. We need confession, forgiveness, and grace for redemption. This is offered to all equally if we take responsibility for our behavior. Evil continues in the world, but when we live in the assurance that we belong to Christ, we have resilience, peace and hope.
