This isn’t your typical Christian to-do list you would normally see while scrolling through Pinterest. This list is specifically curated for those who want to strive to be creatively intentional about living a deep and meaningful Christian life in 2025. 1/9/25
A FEW FAVORITES FROM THE MONTH OF DECEMBER 2024
Happy January and happy New Year! This is our very first post of 2025 and I am so looking forward to seeing how the Lord is going to move in our lives this year! December was one of the best months here at The Few, as we posted a new post every day in December for Blogmas, and multiple new podcast episodes over on our show, A Few Minutes With The Few! 1/2/25
WORTH THE WAIT
As we enter this new year together, though it may be littered with uncertainty and we may feel trepidation, what awaits us may in fact be beauty, respite, and life. Whatever lies ahead, we shall face the growing dawn with clean swords, thick armor, and hearts confident in one thing. 12/31/24
LET IT HAPPEN
From spontaneous coffee dates with dear friends, to bringing Lizzie (our puppy) home, to concerts where we worshiped our hearts out, to getting hired to do a job I absolutely love, to being loved and cared for by a man who is seeking Jesus; I had no control over any of these happenings. 12/30/24
A LITTLE LITANY
Happy Sunday, dear readers! I thought this was a lovely poem to begin our morning with. Enjoy! 12/29/24
SHADOWS OF GREAT THINGS TO COME
Foster gratitude within your heart for Christ’s death, thanking God that we can have a relationship with Him if we are covered by His blood. Revel in the anticipation of the day you will see Him face to face and all will be made perfect. 12/28/24
A WORLD WITHOUT…
Christmas may be over, but we have been reminded once again of our calling. To be that hope that Jesus showed us how to be. To be joyful in a world so sad. To be the love that people seek. To be the light that can never be dimmed. 12/27/24
TWENTY-FOUR THINGS CHRISTIANS SHOULD DO IN 2024
I am sure you have a running list of things you would like to get better at or do more of going into 2024. Those things are great, but what about the things that actually matter? What about Jesus? Is He something you just fit into your schedule when it permits, or does everything else flow from your personal relationship with Him?
HELLO 2024!
Our family has been incredibly blessed by the opportunities God has given us to preach the Gospel here, and we are so looking forward to what 2024 will bring!
PEACE
Enjoy this beautiful poem this evening by Henry Van Dyke! Happy New Year’s Eve, y’all! 🙂
THE ARROGANCE OF MAN
As we enter this New Year, for the sake of old times, may we come together as One body and stand together through whatever stormy gales we may traverse in the coming future. For the sake of old times, let’s have Church.
SHADOWS OF GREAT THINGS TO COME
Foster gratitude within your heart for Christ’s death, thanking God that we can have a relationship with Him if we are covered by His blood. Revel in the anticipation of the day you will see Him face to face and all will be made perfect.
ANOTHER WORLD
Do not ever forget that the only probable explanation for why you desire precisely what the world cannot give you, is that you were made for another world.
THOSE AMONG WHOM WE CAN WEEP
I often imagine this is how the Lord viewed us before He chose to send His Son. I can see Him looking down at us after His 400 years of silence and recognizing that the people He loved did not need to be conquered. They needed to be healed.
TWENTY-THREE THINGS CHRISTIANS SHOULD DO IN 2023
So many of you loved last year’s post, Twenty-Two Things Christians Should Do In 2022, so much so that we have been itching to post another one for 2023! I love reading through a good list or “idea” type post and have found them to be very helpful when trying to be creatively intentional about living a deep and meaningful Christian life.
NEW OR OLD; YOUR CHOICE
This Jesus thing works. It's not crazy. Maybe 2023 is your year to make Him the priority and allow Him to help you begin to heal your shot foot.
LOOKING AHEAD TO 2023
Though today and tomorrow conclude Blogmas 2022, we know that the journey does not end. Preparing our hearts for Christ, surrendering all that we are to Him, and serving Him are all daily tasks we, as Christians, get to partake in!
TWENTY-TWO THINGS CHRISTIANS SHOULD DO IN 2022
We get asked quite often how to practically get serious about living for Jesus, and I pray this list is one you can refer back to time and time again to help you do exactly that. Here are 22 things I believe Christians should do in 2022!
WHY YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT 2022 BEING “YOUR YEAR”
If you want to have the best year yet, stop chasing what you want and start chasing what Jesus wants for you. If you’ve been found, why are you living like you’re lost?
START 2022 OFF RIGHT
Our mission remains the same. Madie & I, and our family, want to help people just like you get serious about being serious for Jesus. We don’t believe that anyone can take Jesus and living for Him too seriously.
EVERY NOW AND THEN (BLOGMAS DAY THIRTY-ONE)
Most of the time they sat in silence, but every now and then one of them would pick up a flute and start playing; breaking through the oppressive silence. Pushing back the darkness.
WAR WITHOUT WAR (BLOGMAS DAY THIRTY)
You see, we wage “wars” that won’t ever satisfy us like real war will. All because we don’t want it to be an inconvenience on our part. We want to create the “wars” we fight. We want to plan them so that we’re certain we can win them before we even start.
HOW ARE YOUR SPIRITS DRESSED? (BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY-NINE)
You see, I believe that Scrooge’s story is so powerful because it can so closely relate to us and our present lives. I want you to think back over your life. Think about the past, about your innocence. Think about your present, the things you most want. Think about what your future may be, about whether your eternity will be dark as Scrooge’s was once bound to be.
CHANGED YOUR MIND? (BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY-EIGHT)
In the final scene, Churchill's minister for war asks him one question in regard to his position on Hitler. "Changed your mind?" to which Churchill responds, "Those who never change their mind, never change anything."
1,000 YEARS FROM RIGHT NOW (BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY-SEVEN)
As we have just experienced Christmas day, I want us all to ask ourselves a simple question. Presents or presence? Which of those two options are more valuable to you?
