It's the small things that count
I have come to the conclusion that there is no such a thing as ‘a small thing’. Everything matters. James 3:3 We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Take one step at a time, but […]
The first step to living with direction
A rudder only has an effect when we use it. James 3:4 Take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. A rudder uses the prevailing circumstances to change the direction or course of […]

To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” So the first step to living with direction is to get moving where we […]
Our lives need a rudder

What it means to be rudderless
To be rudderless is to have no rudder. When we speak about being rudderless it means we are lacking in direction, control, or coherence.
