I’m the tech guru in my house. Not because I know everything about technology. It’s because I bought most of the tech we use. Some of you other fellow tech guru’s know this, but if you’re the family tech guy you get yelled at from other parts of the house. Things like, “Dad, the internet’s not working!” Or, “Honey, which HDMI setting is for Apple TV?” No matter the tech requiring support, I have a secret weapon I use that allows me to remain in high tech esteem with my family. Tools aren’t even needed for this one. My secret weapon is THE REBOOT!
A good reboot works so often because it shuts down all the unnecessary clutter and focuses on applying resources to what matters the most. Heading into 2021 I could use “Reboot”. What about you? Is it time to clean away all the clutter and focus your energy and resources on what matters the most?
For a 2021 REBOOT prioritize your life by beginning with that which will have the greatest impact – Your Heart. The Bible describes the heart as the core of your desires and emotions saying “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” When we prioritize our hearts to what matters to God our actions will reflect His will and reward us with His peace in Christ. Support this top priority by reading God’s word consistently and by meeting with other Christians to study His word together. There’s nothing better for your soul. When our hearts aren’t tracking with God, everything else gets out of line and life just doesn’t work like it should.
Reading everything here on www.riverregionchristians.com will also help. It’s our mission to publish God’s truth and help keep you focused on what matters the most. I’m so thankful for all the great teachers who write for us each month. I’m also thankful for all the local businesses that share Journey with their customers. What a difference they make in our lives.
Throughout this next year make my secret weapon your secret weapon too by asking often if you need to reboot and refocus on what matters the most.

Pure: Why the Bible’s Plan for Sexuality Isn’t Outdated, Irrelevant, or Oppressive by Dean Inserra
Do you remember the purity movement? Or perhaps it’s better to ask this: How could you possibly forget the purity movement? Though in many ways its aims were noble—sexual purity among teens and young adults—its methods were more than a little suspect and, in the long run, often even harmful. It framed sexual purity as […]
Cancer and Mental Health
No one wants to think about cancer, but few of us, whether ourselves, a friend, or a loved one, are untouched by this diagnosis. In fact, when I was researching information online about cancer, the first article was titled, “1.95M People May Be Diagnosed With Cancer in 2023.” The word cancer is unsettling, and I […]
Tearing Us Apart
by
Ryan T. Anderson and Alexandra DeSanctis
I have read quite a number of books on the subject of abortion. Almost invariably, those books focus on the harm abortion does to an unborn child. And for good reason—abortion is the unjust and immoral killing of a human being. While society around us attempts to disguise abortion through a host of denials or […]
