How can God use us to save others?
God can use us as a means to save others, even though God alone is the One Who saves (Eph 2:8-9), but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. We cannot save anyone…but we can point them to the Son of God in the hopes that they might see their sinful state and be brought to repentance and to put their trust in Christ. I have so many family members who say they believe, but so do the demons, and that doesn’t mean they’re saved (James 2:19). Many will say Lord, Lord, someday but will be turned away by Christ (Matt 7:21-23). To believe means to be obeying and living lives of holiness (not sinless-ness), so at the very top of my bucket list is bringing family members to saving faith in Christ. What is more important in this life than that?

For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you” (John 13:14-15).
Do you have to make a will if you have a spouse?
Everyone who has a spouse and/or children needs to make a will.

A will protects your family from going through this difficult process, so making a will was in my bucket list, and I say “was” because I’ve got it done. What about you?
