After reading the book Adorned by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth this summer with a group of wise, godly and inspiring women, I got stuck on the idea of a "sound mind" as it was explained in the study.

Adorned has an entire chapter devoted to the Greek word sophron, which essentially means "sound mind". This comes from a word in Titus 2 that is often translated "self-control", but it's so much more than that. In order to practice self-control, we must have a sound mind - or a healthy, whole, saved mind - one that is governed by the Holy Spirit instead of the whims of our emotions and circumstances.

This concept has been life-changing for me since the Lord arranged for me to lead the discussion the week this chapter came up. When I volunteered to facilitate the study, I did not look ahead to see which chapters were on the docket; I simply chose a date that worked in my schedule. As I began reading the chapters to prepare for the study, I once again stood in awe of God's grace in my life and His sense of humor.

Being of sound mind is not easy for anyone, but it has certainly never been my personal strength. I have often lamented the great struggle I've had through life to grow in self-control, or to simply feel like I have displayed this fruit of the Spirit whatsoever.

However, since becoming a mother, I've noticed how the process of sanctification is intensified. Sleepless nights filled with crying from an unsatisfied baby and instances of poor communication with well-meaning spouses are a fast track to either holiness or selfishness.

As I prepared to lead the discussion on sophron, the Lord brought to mind Romans 8, which holds my current season's life verse, one I have mulled over repeatedly as I reflect on my choices from the previous day.

"The mind governed by the flesh is death,

but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace."

Romans 8:6

I have come to know how real this is over the summer as I've begun swapping out TV shows for podcasts centered on the Gospel and Christ-glorifying music while doing housework, spending just a little more time in the Word, and choosing more often to turn first to the Lord in prayer instead of to my non-savior of a husband (wonderful as he is).

I don't always set my mind on things above, and I still have to ask the Lord and my husband (and quite a few others) for forgiveness on the regular, but I am so, so grateful for the life-giving presence of the Lord as I go throughout my day, knowing I can choose in any moment to seek first His kingdom instead of my own.

I want to be characterized by a sound mind and live at peace with God and myself under the control of the Spirit. Praise God that He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ and that we have the choice to live well and whole in Him. May you grow in self-control and be whole in your spirit and sound of mind.

One month ago I had finished reading the book of Hebrews and was asking the Lord what book of the Bible I should read next. I was feeling drawn toward the minor prophets or Leviticus - you know, something that would be a sacrifice of love for me to read and study.

I really couldn't decide on a specific book, so I followed the suggestion of my pastor when in doubt for what to read: play the lottery.

I pulled up a website with a random number generator and put in the parameters of the books of the Bible: 66. Then I prayed and asked the Lord to direct the generator to the number of the book He wanted me to read next, and it came out to...

Revelation. I almost ran the generator again, but thought better of it. This is what He had for me, so I decided to face it head on.

I cannot tell you the last time I read through the book of Revelation. It has been a turn around the sun or two. It has never been my favorite book of the Bible (I'm not sure it is anyone's favorite, except maybe those who like to "prophesy" when Jesus will return... perhaps they skipped past Matthew 24:36 on their way to Revelation).

Anyhow, whenever I have read Revelation in the past, I have felt such pressure to "figure it out" and "get it right" in terms of what events happen in what order and what is the meaning of all the symbolism. I believe there is great value in digging in to this book to uncover the buried gems of cultural context and literary style; however, I decided to let myself off the hook a bit this time and read it through a different lens.

This time, I embarked on the study of Revelation simply asking myself two questions: What does this teach me about God, and what does this teach me about humanity?

While Revelation is still not my favorite book, I came to look forward to reading my chapter each day. And I'm so excited to share with you some of the "revelations" I had about this book full of hope and much application for today with the goal of inspiring you to read it again soon (or at least not avoid it like I had for several years).

1) What is God like?

Photo by Bryce Evans on Unsplash

Over and over, I saw God's justice emphasized, and how His justice is without flaw, good, and right. Justice is an uncomfortable topic in our culture until we have personally been wronged by someone. Otherwise, we prefer to emphasize mercy and grace because they feel good.

However, mercy and grace are meaningless without justice. If God never carried out justice - punishing wrongdoing according to His holy, righteous standards - there would be no room for mercy or grace because we would simply consider Him a pushover.

Yet, near the end of the Revelation (Chapter 19), we see the host of heaven worshiping God because, as they say, His judgments are "true and just". God's justice is part of what makes Him good. If He was unjust, He wouldn't be good, and He wouldn't be worthy of our adoration.

Revelation also answers the question of why God is qualified to be the judge of the earth. First, He created all things (4:11), and second, He is holy. God's holiness is lauded throughout the entire book, and as such, it is an important attribute to dwell upon as we think about the end of this earth and eternity.

"Day and night they never stop saying:

‘Holy, holy, holy

is the Lord God Almighty,’

who was, and is, and is to come.”

Revelation 4:8b

Finally, I saw how wild and powerful God is in the description of Him in Revelation 4:5 - "From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumbles and peals of thunder..."

This made me think of a description of the lion Aslan from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. Many argue Lewis's Aslan is meant to represent God in his allegorical Chronicles of Narnia series.

“Aslan is a lion - the Lion, the great Lion."

"Ooh," said Susan. "I'd thought he was a man. Is he - quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion."

"Safe?" said Mr Beaver. "Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.”

Our God isn't safe - He is an all-consuming fire - unless we approach Him covered by the blood of His Son, Jesus.

2) What are people like?

Humans are described throughout the book of Revelation as unable to meet God's standard (5:3), unable to stand in the face of God's wrath (6:16) and evil (18:13). Additionally, some of those who have been called out and saved by God's grace have abandoned their first love of Jesus and grown stagnant and apathetic in their practice of faith (2:4-5).

This is not a positive assessment of the human condition. And while it is clear that people remain under God's sovereign control (17:17), we also see the concept of free will displayed in Revelation in a very sobering way.

After God pours out His wrath on sinful humanity in waves of plagues as described in Chapter 9, the remaining people are shown to be rebellious, despite being given a second (and third) chance:

"The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts."
Revelation 9:20-21

When I read this part, I just began to weep for lost souls who will not repent. It was a moment to pause and grieve and understand that God's grace is just that - grace. A free gift people are able to accept or reject by their own choice.

A famous atheist and humanist once said "eternal worshipful bliss" was "a somewhat hellish idea" to him. God did not make puppets. While He is ultimately sovereign over His creation, He has given humans, His image-bearers, free will. If people don't desire God in this life, they won't want Him for eternity, and that is their choice.

3) What Jesus is like

Oh, how I love Jesus! What a beautiful, victorious Savior He is!

He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end (1:5b-8).

His eyes are like a flame of fire (2:18).

He is holy and true (3:7).

He is the Amen, the beginning of Creation (3:14).

He meets God's righteous requirements, and therefore He is worthy (5:8-14)!

He is the conquering King (17:14)!

Yet, He pursues us (3:20)!

There are so many more wonderful descriptions of our Savior in the book of Revelation, but the above list is a good enough contrast to its assessment of humanity to motivate us to ask:

4) What should we do about it?

Revelation 19:7-8 shows us exactly what Jesus wants - a beautiful, spotless Bride (His church), who has adorned herself for the wedding of the Lamb. He is worthy of our purity and faithful devotion.

The early part of Revelation consists of letters written to churches on how they can become more of this kind of Bride. They include admonitions to remember their first love (2:5), strengthen their works (3:2), hold fast to what they have (3:11), and clothe themselves in white (3:18).

Overall, we are called to endure in Revelation 14:12 because pursuing righteousness in this age requires sacrifice. We are also to remember that the time is near for the end of the age (22:10), and while we don't know the day or the hour when Jesus will return (Mark 13:32), we should live in a state of readiness, fixing our hearts on Him and living with joyful expectation.

Finally, there is a call at the end of the book for all who are thirsty to come and find life in Jesus (21:6-7; 22:17). This is urgent and not optional, as we saw from our study of humanity in Revelation.

Conclusion

When looking at the injustice and brokenness in the world around us, we may cry out with the martyrs in Chapter 6:10, "How long, O Lord?" How long until He enacts vengeance on His enemies and rights all wrongs?

We don't know how long, but we do know from the whole of Scripture that God is patient (2 Peter 3:9), that He is waiting until all who will be saved are saved before He destroys all evil and makes all things new.

Until then, we live with hope, knowing that one day soon (in perspective of eternity), we will be sheltered in His presence forever (7:15) and that God will be our light (21:22-27). And while we wait, it is our delight to worship Him, live righteously for His glory, tell our neighbors (that is, everyone) that He alone can save, and rejoice in the assurance that evil will be punished once and for all and then there will be no more tears (7:15-17).

"He who testifies to these things says, 'Yes, I am coming soon.'

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen."

Revelation 22:20-21

My son is only a year old, but ever since I found out I was pregnant with him, I knew I wanted to be intentional about communicating the Gospel to him. More than anything else, my desire for him (and his coming-soon little brother) is that he come to know, love and follow Jesus his whole life long. That is the hope I speak over him every night as I place him in his crib, after reading, after singing, after turning out the light. That is the mission of my motherhood.

Because I know this is the heartbeat of every Christ-following mother, I want to share five ways I have connected with my son spiritually to begin writing these truths on his heart. I don't share these because I think they're the best ways or the only ways, and certainly not because I have been perfectly faithful in practicing them. Instead, I want to offer some simple suggestions in case you feel at a loss for how to share the Gospel with your children. Perhaps these ideas will springboard some of your own rhythms of faith in your home.

Also, keep in mind that I have a little toddler who can barely say five words, so I don't have any solid means of measuring what he's absorbing from my efforts. Your kids might be older, but I think several of these points can apply to them, as well as to babies and toddlers.

Here they are, in no particular order:

One - Talk to them about Jesus and God's truth and the Gospel whenever it comes up.

My son may have no idea what I'm saying, but I speak what's on my heart, and I believe the Holy Spirit can translate for me. Sometimes I try to slow down and make eye contact, but often I just talk as we're going about our business - eating breakfast, walking outside, driving in the car. These moments come up as I am awestruck by the beauty of God's creation while we're exploring the backyard, and I'll begin talking about some attribute of God that the sky or the wind or the flowers remind me of.

If I'm reading my Bible or a Christian non-fiction book in the living room while he minds his own business playing on the floor, I might suddenly look up and say, "Buddy, this is so amazing!" and launch into an explanation of what I just read and how it informs the way I view God.

Another way to really drive home the point of why we need Jesus is to take moments of our own sin and be quick to humble ourselves before the Lord and our children. We can use these times of personal weakness to remind our kids that we all fall short of God's glory, and that is why Jesus needed to die and why we need the Holy Spirit in our hearts to help us do what God wants.

While he was still in my womb, I shared the Gospel with him, as well. It felt a bit awkward to be explaining the ABCs of Salvation to someone I couldn't see, but the Bible tells us that the Lord teaches wisdom to babies even before they're born (Psalm 51:6), so I figured I could begin sharing truth with him even then.

Two - Play Scripture and worship songs frequently throughout the day.

Almost every morning while I'm making and eating breakfast with my son, I play the "Kid's Worship" station on Pandora from my phone. I've refined it so it plays a lot of classic Sunday School songs, Scripture songs and a bit of Veggie Tales. I love to begin our day on that joyful, centering note.

When my son was littler, his favorite calming music to fall asleep to was Matt and Josie Minikus' Hymns, Psalms and Lullabies album. It is absolutely beautiful music and includes several lyrics directly from Scripture.

Three - Read the Bible together.

My son used to sit in my lap for an entire Jesus Storybook Bible chapter, but that happens less and less frequently these days. Now I usually end up reading something from a children's Bible storybook, a Psalm or a passage from the Gospels out loud as he's roaming around the living room.

At first I was concerned that he wouldn't absorb much this way, but after hearing some advice from more experienced mothers, podcasts, etc. I realized that busy toddlers and active little boys, specifically, actually learn better while they're moving. It may not seem like he's paying attention, but I know the Word of God does not return void, so I will continue to speak it out loud in his hearing.

Four - Sing hymns and Scripture songs to them before bed.

For the longest time, I would sing the same three songs to my son as part of his bedtime routine - the hymn, Just as I Am, some version of the Aaronic blessing (The Lord bless you and keep you...) and the chorus of Twila Paris' lullaby, "I pray that you will follow Him your whole life long." I change up the hymns more now for variety, but I still see Just as I Am as his special hymn.

I love so many modern worship songs, and my millennial heart resonates with them and enjoys listening to them throughout the day. However, there is something so rich and precious about older hymns that I want to pass on to my children. I'm so thankful for the time I spent at a church that sang only hymns every week because, while I no longer think that's the "right" or "only" way to worship God in spirit and truth, I learned so many hymns by memory. As I sing these hymns over my son now, I am blessed by the rich theology contained in them that is difficult to communicate in such a succinct and profound way with our modern language.

Five - Pray together.

This is one area in particular I would like to grow in, but I think praying together with kids is beneficial no matter what age they are. Of course we can pray over our children, and we should, but there is something special about praying together for things on our hearts in addition to the needs of others. My son is still too young to understand closing his eyes and being still while we pray, but if he's sleepy enough at bedtime, I have a captive prayer companion as I rock him. I will begin thanking God for the day and praying for our concerns in first person plural, as if he's praying right along with me.

I want to demonstrate to my children that prayer is a normal part of my life individually and of our lives together as a family. I believe the more frequent and natural these practices are in our daily rhythm, the more they will begin to adopt those things as they become independent.

These are the five main things I do as the mommy of a (currently) 16-month-old boy and his little brother in utero. I hope they are an encouragement and a springboard for you as you seek to impress God's truth on your little ones' hearts. Remember that God is with us as we share the Gospel with our children. He desires their hearts to come to salvation even more than we do!

I would love to hear which of these practices you are currently implementing or would like to implement in your home. And if you have any other ideas for how to connect with kids spiritually, please share them in the comments for the rest of us to learn!

The hymn, I Surrender All, is a great sermon-closer, and it has been used as such many times at my church. It has a singable tune and meaningful lyrics that cause one to really think them through as they're sung.

I usually have a hard time singing this one with gusto because I have to evaluate my heart each time I hear it: do I really surrender all, and if not, am I ready to?

There have been moments when I've simply closed my mouth and my eyes, praying through the song that the Lord would soften my heart to surrender because I knew I wasn't ready. I knew there were habits and idols I didn't want to lay down, and I didn't feel right singing that I was surrendering all when in my heart I was not.

The most recent time we sang this hymn, however, I did join in with my voice for the entire song, and I even lifted my hands as if to say, "Here is my life, Lord. I surrender all."

This occasion was no different than the others; I am well aware of how prone to wander is my heart, how quickly I retract my sincerest devotions and commitments to the Lord for the sake of ease and self-service.

Yet this time I sensed the fullness of Christ's grace toward me, and how His sacrifice covers my broken vows and my failure to always place Him first in my heart.

In Romans 7, Paul laments the fact that, though his desire is to obey God's law, his sinful nature battles against his spirit and often wins. This is not because the Holy Spirit isn't powerful within us but because we will not reach perfection until we see Christ face to face. In the meantime, we fight against the flesh to choose what is honoring to the Lord, and we often win, but sometimes we lose. This is the angst we face as redeemed people confined temporarily in a world still full of sin.

But Paul ends the chapter this way:

"What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

Paul acknowledges that he will always struggle against sin in this life, but he rejoices that Christ's sacrifice is enough to deliver him and cover him with grace!

Friends, the Lord knows our hearts. He knows we long to glorify Him with our lives, and He knows that we are weakened by our flesh. He knows we want to obey, to surrender all, but He knows we will always struggle to do so.

That is why we can say to Him, "I surrender all," knowing that while we are guaranteed to fail, His grace is sufficient for us, and He is pleased with us.

I struggle with bad attitudes frequently. I really like things to go my way, meet my expectations and cater to my needs and wants. And I begin to feel the crankiness meter rising as soon as they don't.

When things don't go my way, I can be not the nicest person. Maybe I don't lash out and yell, but I have definitely turned to grumbling, casting dirty looks, or determining to show how miserable I am to everyone else so they feel uncomfortable. Super immature, I know.

not my kid, but still stinkin' cute

Some may equate this with the behavior of their two-year-old, but the truth is, we are all born with a sinful nature. Our internal bent is to look out for ourselves first and do everything we can to fulfill our desires.

Scripture tells us that, "those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires." (Romans 8:5)

Until we come to trust in Christ for our salvation and are given the Holy Spirit as our guide in living a holy, set apart life for the glory of God, all of us live according to the flesh. However, in Christ we do have the guarantee of the Spirit, and as soon as we place our faith in Him, He begins sanctifying us, transforming us daily so that we look more and more like Christ.

Let me pause a moment and say, Thank You, Jesus!

And then let me say, even while living under Jesus' Lordship, it is hard to choose to respond to people and circumstances with kindness and patience.

Because of this, I want to offer some practical tips for living out kindness in our daily lives because this fruit of the Spirit really does set us apart and makes Christ look attractive to the world.

And as I am sharing these, know that the reason I do so is not because I have achieved perfect kindness or mastered how to handle these situations. Far from it! Like I said right at the get-go, this is a frequent struggle for me. But I have been asking the Lord to refine this area of my character, and I've been doing a lot of study in Scripture and elsewhere on how to live out kindness.

First, the physical.

Our emotions and reactions are impacted greatly by our physical state, both our general health, and more temporary conditions like hunger and thirst. Most of us have control over what we eat and drink and whether we exercise, and these are just some of the ways that we can set our physical bodies up for success so they don't affect our moods as much.

Exercise: Exercising plays a huge role in regulating our hormones, which in turn affect our emotions. When we exercise regularly, whether that's an evening walk around the block or a Crossfit class before work, we help activate the happy hormones in our bodies. There are so many other benefits to exercise, but this is not a post devoted to overall health, so I'll keep it short and sweet.

Eating Sensible Food: This is a really sensitive area for a lot of people who struggle with eating disorders and addictions. I myself have struggled with food addictions in the past, and it is so hard to break bad habits. Again, this post is not meant to give guidance on how much or what to eat specifically. That is up to you to determine with your doctor, a nutritionist and the Lord. But I know from personal experience that I feel so much better when I eat more "clean" whole foods. Choosing home cooked meals over fast food more often, fresh fruits over sugary desserts and veggies over salty snacks nourishes my body and keeps my mind clear, which sets me up to have a better attitude throughout the day.

Drinking Water: Our bodies are made up of a whole lotta water, so it makes sense to keep the water flowing through to feel our best. When I get dehydrated, I get cranky real fast, so I try to keep a full bottle of water on hand at all times so I can drink as I feel thirsty and make sure dehydration doesn't get in the way of my attitude. Also, there is no other drink (no matter how it's marketed) that will hydrate our bodies as effectively as water.

Supplements: It is recommended that even the cleanest of eaters should supplement their diet (simply meaning what you eat, not a weight-loss program) with at least a multivitamin to get a good supply of vitamins, minerals, probiotics and antioxidants in their system. It's difficult to get the right amount of these things solely from our food. Vitamins and probiotics, in particular, affect our moods because vitamins affect our hormones and probiotics contribute to a healthy gut, which regulates many of our hormones, as well. I recommend Young Living supplements because I know they are clean, effective and have helped a lot of people, including myself. You can email me with any questions you have about these, but as with anything health-related, it is important to talk to your doctor about what supplements you should take.

Sleep: Getting a full night of sleep (7-9 hours depending on what your specific needs are) has a huge affect on our moods. Lack of sleep affects our brains negatively, impairing our ability to respond to situations with self-control.

Essential Oils: Again, not going to go into great detail here because this post is not primarily about physical/emotional health, and I don't want to turn it into an advertisement. But I share a lot about essential oils in other spheres of my life because they have been a huge blessing to me physically and emotionally. There are so many wonderful blends of oils that affect our minds and hormones in just such a way to help "take the edge off" and keep my emotions in check so I can deal with circumstances rationally and with kindness. And as with supplements, I use Young Living essential oils, which you can email me about and read more about on that page of my website.

Second, the Mental.

Calendar and To-Do List: Keeping a calendar and to-do list helps declutter our minds of our schedules and tasks so we can free a little extra mental space. I'm not sure how scientific that last statement is, but I know it's true for me. And with as many professional organizers and bloggers are out there talking about eliminating mental clutter, I'm inclined to believe it's true for many people. When our minds are bogged down by lists and ideas and errands and all the things, it's hard to be in the moment and focus our attention on showing kindness toward others.

Journal: This is a habit I need to re-establish. I have at least 20 journals I filled up between the ages of 9 and 23, but since I got married I haven't kept up the journaling habit. Journaling, like keeping a calendar and to-do list helps free up mental space. It also helps to process thoughts, emotions and experiences from the day and think through what we did well and what we could improve.

Last, but most important of all, the Spiritual.

Thank God again for the gift of the Holy Spirit! Last night I was singing a song to my son before bed that talks about how I am one with Christ. The Holy Spirit of God lives in me! It filled me with awe and wonder once again, and most of all, gratefulness at the kindness of God toward me and all who believe in Jesus!

That being said, what do we do when circumstances don't allow us to exercise, eat clean, drink water, journal or keep a calendar? Certainly we have control over these areas of our lives most of the time. But there are times when we can't attend to all of these things, which leaves our physical and mental selves in a compromised state. How do we choose kindness then?

We can choose kindness in every circumstance, no matter how we feel, because of the Spirit of God living inside us and guiding us toward righteousness. This is the resource Christians have that no one else can tap into. We have access to the Highest Power in the universe, and that should make us fall to our knees with gratefulness. Holy, holy is the Lord, and how great is His love for us!

Without the Holy Spirit, we would be left to "white knuckle" it, and all our striving toward displaying the fruit of the Spirit would be in vain. The Bible says that apart from Christ, all our righteousness is as filthy rags. Worthless. No matter how ship-shape we keep ourselves mentally and physically, nothing and no one can help us live up to God's standard of kindness other than the Holy Spirit. And without Him, we cannot make Christ look beautiful to the world.

Earlier I mentioned Romans 8:5 and how it talks about minds controlled by the flesh. But there's always good news on the other side of bad news in the Bible, because the Good Book is all about how God redeems every single thing that has gone wrong because of man's sinful choices.

So here's the whole verse: "Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires."

Yes! There it is! But still, how do we live in accordance with the Spirit? What does that even mean?

I believe verse 6 is the key to unlocking this promise: "The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace."

Oh, to have a mind governed by the Spirit of the Living God! As I've been studying and praying on kindness over the last while, this verse has become a precious treasure. I hold it close and remind myself of it when I am tempted to lash out or spiral into grumpiness.

When we surrender our lives to Christ, we submit to His Lordship over us. This isn't easy because we still battle our flesh and our desire to always be in control, but it is made easier knowing what a good, kind Master we serve.

The same is true of the Holy Spirit. We can suppress His voice as He convicts us and urges us to walk in righteousness. I certainly have. Or we can position ourselves to listen to Him and place ourselves humbly under His guidance because He is a gentle leader, and we live most blessed within the parameters of His governance.

And here is my "practical Spiritual tip" to have a mind governed by the Spirit: Saturate yourself in the Word and worship of God. The more our minds are filled with His truth and loveliness, the more we recognize His voice, and the stronger our desire will be to be quick to obey and quick to show kindness, even when our flesh desires otherwise.

Lord, give us minds controlled by Your Spirit,

that we may display the beauty of Christ

through our kindness,

in turn reaping abundant life

and sweet, sweet peace!
