God knows we can’t see all that is there. And that’s where faith comes in. He asks us to trust in Him even when our view is obscured – when things don’t look very good from our limited point of view.

There are so many voices in our lives, that sometimes it can be hard to discern which one we should listen to and follow. We can make positive and negative assumptions about some of these voices, which makes it even more difficult to know what to do.

It comes down to being so thankful for God’s love and God’s presence, that the circumstances of life matter a lot less than the fact that God is there with you.

We kick off our community spotlight series in a personal interview with First Baptist Decatur's Pastor for Youth and Families, Rev. Kelsey Vincent.

It is sometimes easy to let the light of Christ darken in our lives. We get too busy with other things, we get discouraged, we are overly critical, or we become apathetic to spiritual matters.

Be at peace. Do not look forward in fear to the changes of life; rather look to them with full hope as they arise.
