John Ortberg shares about recent allegations and his personal journey in this season.

How do you face anything that life throws your way? What if you are stuck in the past or troubled about the future. You take it one day at a time. Join John Ortberg in this series called First Thoughts. Of all the freedoms human beings have, the greatest—and most neglected—human freedom is the ability to choose what our minds will dwell on. You are one thought away from a changed life. Let each day be guided by one great, memorable thought.

QUOTES:
“You must arrange your days so that you are experiencing deep contentment, joy, and confidence in your everyday life with God.” — Dallas Willard

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference, living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; taking this world as it is and not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen." − Reinhold Niebuhr
