  2. 02.09 Don't Let Hard Times Harden Your Hearts

    02.09 Don't Let Hard Times Harden Your Hearts

    📚Bible Study Notes on Proverbs 11:1, 24-26 and James 4:7 Hard times can harden our hearts. 🖤Everyone is suffering in business one way or another because of the COVID pandemic and the government's lacking response to help businesses. These conditions can make business owners not only cut costs but also cut corners to survive. For any business owners reading this, have you been tempted to do this? Let me warn you that if you fall into the trap of cutting corners to stay alive, it will not be worth it in the end because you could end up losing trust and credibility with your clients and suppliers. And when you do it once, here's what happens to your heart: 1. It becomes hardened because deep inside you will feel guilty for cutting corners at your customers' expense. And if no one calls you out on it, you'll think you've gotten away with it and your heart hardens just a little more. 2. Eventually, you will be a business person who may be successful financially, but deep down you are guilty of cheating others. The guilt you try to bury will eat away at your soul. And that is a sad predicament. ✨So don't let these hard economic times harden your heart. I was encouraged by Proverbs 11 verse 1 and verses 24-26 the other day. I was reminded that while I am in this worldly economy, as a Christ-follower, I am also in God's economy. These ancient words of wisdom remind me that when I am generous even when it's hard to give, it can also be the most fulfilling I can do. When the act of giving costs you something, it  is true sacrificial giving. It's an act of trust and expression of faith - trusting that my God can provide for me when I give to others who really need it. I think that at the core, being grateful for more than the material things that we have  allows us to be in a heart position to give either with grace or financial help to those who really need it. When we are reminded that there are a lot of people doing worse off than us, we cancel our own pity party and start to looking outward at ways we can practically help others. I have my own personal testimonies of how God has come through when I give even when it's hard, not just when business is slow, but when suppliers or customers take advantage or outrightly cheat. Lots of lessons and experiences revealing my own heart through it all. It would have been very easy for me to harden my heart and be cynical over the years. Doing business is challenging in any season, but it's been a tough couple of years, hasn't it! It's been a long tough season, but I continue to see His goodness through it all.

    02.08 Doing the Impossible with God: Crossing the Jordan at Flood Stage

    📚Bible Study Notes on Joshua 3, Joshua 4 and Psalm 50 Crossing the Jordan at flood stage isn't just hard, but it's impossible. Impossible indeed for man but not for God. In Joshua 3, we see the miracle of God stopping the flood waters, so that the Israelites led by Joshua would be able to cross on dry land. In Joshua 4, we learn why God told the 12 representatives of the tribes to carry out large stones to make an altar for Him. I share two major lessons I've gleaned from these two chapters and close with encouragement from Psalm 50. I've been blessed to still share my Bible study notes pretty regularly. With the kids at home, things get a little trickier. So, you will see a special appearance by my 8 year-old and husband in this video too!

    02.07 Five Ways to Maintain a Clean Heart

    📚Bible Study Notes on Leviticus 11 and Mark 7:1-23  Originally published on https://youtu.be/_9H9XaDnpfA In Leviticus 11, God gives the Israelites a list of clean and unclean animals to preserve and protect the. In Mark 7:1-23, Jesus declares that all foods are clean. Is God contradicting Himself?  From my Bible study notes, I share how I learned that Jesus cares more about what comes out of a man than what goes in. It is the things that we consume through our eyes and minds that defiles our hearts, and consequently, from that unclean heart, we exude the aroma of the world more than the aroma of Christ. I share five ways to maintain a clean heart so that we can spread the aroma of Christ to the world and draw people to Him.  Timestamps:  00:02:22 Let's read Leviticus 11 11 00:08:43 The purpose of clean and unclean animals  00:10:40 Let's read Mark 7:1-23  00:14:10 The greater danger of defiling our hearts  00:15:00 The filtration system we need to keep our hearts and words clean  00:16:50 Does our aroma point to Christ?

    02.03 Good Friday: Jesus Paid My Sin Debt

    Wanted to do something a little different today to share my reflection on Good Friday and how I am so grateful for Jesus Christ, my Redeemer. He paid for my sins, for all our sins on that cross.   Romans 5:6-10: "You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!"   Also watch "What's So Good About Good Friday?": https://youtu.be/UaqlphtAGwQ  00:00:53 - Me singing "Man of Sorrows (Hallelujah, What a Saviour)  00:03:50 - Sharing about how I was once a Buddhist and how that worldview shaped my idea of sin  00:05:40 - Christians and Buddhists agree that we are all born with sin  00:06:31 - There is no way we can paying for our sin debt by ourselves  00:00:53 - It had to be Jesus Christ  00:15:53 - Good Friday isn't the end  ——————   ✨I love having conversations about spiritual stuff. There is more to life than what we see, don't you agree?  💬 Would love to hear from you if you have questions about who Jesus Christ is or if you have private prayer requests.  DM me privately on Instagram @sireeorsara.    ✨ More info about me and my work at  https://linktr.ee/coachsire
