Ever wondered what makes a person truly tick? In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin dives deep into the essence of Christian life and faith, exploring the unique traits that set Christians apart. Drawing from Romans 12:11, 12, and 15, Colin discusses how faith-training in the Gospel of Christ can help you intercept various addictions, whether it's alcohol, drugs, food, or even obsessive worry.
He emphasises that while Christians may appear similar to humanists in their kindness and consideration, there's an invisible but profound difference rooted in their faith and relationship with God. Colin shares how Christians are called to love their enemies, rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. He explains that this isn't just about being positive or cheerful but having a life of faith that trusts in God's plan, even in the face of adversity.
Using the story of Joseph as an example, he illustrates how God can turn evil into good, reinforcing the idea that Christians view life through the lens of God's kingdom. He also touches on the importance of gratitude and how giving thanks daily can transform your outlook on life. Colin recounts a personal anecdote about an elderly lady at a supermarket whose unwavering cheerfulness was rooted in her faith in Jesus Christ.
This simple act of joy became a powerful witness to others, showing that even small gestures can make a significant impact. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how faith shapes a Christian's life, offering hope and encouragement to anyone struggling with addiction or seeking a deeper connection with God. Tune in to understand how you can be the salt of the earth and light in the darkness for those around you.
