The Ultimate Policy & Procedure Manual

Image
  Google Images Living by the Word Every successful corporation operates by a set of policies and procedures ; a structured guide that provides clear expectations, ensures consistency, and promotes accountability. These policies define how employees should act, make decisions, and uphold the company’s values. Without them, chaos would take over, leading to inefficiency, confusion, and failure. As Christians, we, too, have a Policy & Procedure Manual , one that governs every aspect of our lives. It is not written by human hands, nor is it subject to revision or corporate updates. Our manual is the Bible, the unchanging, God-breathed Word that establishes the standards for righteous living. The Bible: Our Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) In business, policies outline what to do, what not to do, and how to handle challenges. Similarly, the Bible provides us with clear instructions on: ✔ How to live righteously – “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” ( Psalm ...

Our faith, families, and communities form the battleground, and the enemy seeks to distract and divide us.

Jesus is the Antidote to all of Life Problems As a nurse, I have witnessed firsthand the power of medications in neutralizing harmful effects, restoring health, and providing relief. In the medical field, we use antidotes to counteract the effects of toxins, overdoses, and harmful substances. Whether it's r eversin g an overdose, neutralizing a venom, or treating a life-threatening reaction, an antidote is a powerful agent that brings healing and restoration. Similarly, Jesus is the antidote to the brokenness, sin, and burdens that weigh us down. The world offers many temporary remedies: success, wealth, relationships, and self-reliance, but none can truly heal the soul. Jesus alone is the cure for our deepest wounds, the One who neutralizes sin's effects and restores us to spiritual health. The beautiful part? No appointment is necessary, no copay is required, and no prescription refills are needed because Jesus is always available. He offers complete healing, redemption, an...
