In the 1960s, I was invited by a friend to her evening church service. As he was preaching, the pastor pointed his finger throughout the congregation announcing, ‘and you will go to hell’ at every move of the finger. Along with other young people I was up in the balcony, and I sensed the finger pointing at me. That moment was, literally, life changing. Today's guest post reflects on how a pastor's sharp warning about hell completely changed one person's life.

What's the hard thing in your life? Obedience? Practising stillness? Overthinking everything?

Bobby was the Pakistani student leading my little group of four. We were heading to a church on the edge of Lahore.

Every day in the wilderness the Israelites had experienced God's miraculous provision of food in the form of manna. In the morning everyone had gathered as much as they needed for that day - and there was always enough. No one went hungry.

The word friend comes from the old English word "freond" which means beloved or lover, and you should definitely be a loving friend. Even if you have a couple of close friends, or many, they should still love you and stand up for you, and you should do that for your friends too. To end the week, ThreeTen's young guest writer shares some thoughts on friendship.

I was convicted that our spiritual routines — Bible reading, prayer, devotion can quietly turn into rituals. God does not want recycled obedience. He desires fresh listening. Today's guest writer shares how a recent family devotion in Exodus challenged her.

When I think I am teaching my children (often from a place of weakness), God is actually teaching me, helping me. I am sure I have learned so much more from being a parent than my children have learned from me. Today's guest writer tells us about the worth of our weakness.

More than once, I’ve found myself saying, “Let’s ask your dad,” or “That’s a great question… let me think about it and get back to you.” The topics that come up are wide-ranging — relationships, God, emotions, science, and everything in between. Like many parents, I’m very much learning on the job. Each new stage brings fresh joys and challenges.

You're speeding enthusiastically toward the future with a smile on your face, a spring in your step, and a song in your heart. Then you smash into an invisible wall. You and your dream job didn't make it. Ouch!

Over the last few years I've been challenged to think more about Lent and how to observe it, and for the last two years I've decided to have 15 minutes of quiet each day. This is in addition to my usual prayer times and patterns.
