When you put your trust in Jesus and begin to follow Him, it’s not uncommon to find yourself alone. Sometimes our spouse or family won’t understand. They may even get upset… but that doesn’t mean it will be that way forever. So, what do we do when our family isn’t saved? In this edition of First Steps, Chug and Karen Garreau share about the early days of Karen’s faith, when Chug didn’t believe. Her vital relationship with the Lord and calling out to Him in prayer made all the difference in her life, and eventually in Chug’s life too. Their story is a challenge and encouragement to us all… to pray and trust the Lord. (Video Length: 7:15) Watch Now.

There’s nothing as miserable for the sinning Christian as being estranged from God, and nothing so sweet as being restored back to Him. Ray Sparklingeyes reminds us what King David said after he had been forgiven for adultery and murder (Psalm 32:1). It’s a good reminder for us. Rather than living apart from God and His blessing, let’s deal with our sin quickly. The sooner we confess and forsake our sin, the sooner we will discover our joy and peace again.

God tells us in His Word that there’s a battle within us between the right and wrong. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please (Galatians 5:17 NAS). So, what do we do when we fall? It’s something every follower of Jesus should know. Ray Sparklingeyes talks about sin and where it leads if we don’t deal with it properly.
