God so loved the world (that’s commitment) that he gave his only begotten son (another commitment) that whoever would believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). So many of us are wishy washy and don’t stick with anything. God has an enduring passion for us…
Successful relationships, marriage, careers, weight loss, finances, they all point back to this little word called commitment. It has incredible power. In Genesis 29:31, God saw that Leah was hated, and he opened up her womb while Rachel stayed barren. Leah was committed even though she wasn’t happy with the…
When we get offended, we are sticking our hand into a shark’s mouth. And when we get into secondary offense we are doing it on PURPOSE. We aren’t the ones who got hurt; someone else got hurt, but we take on the offense as if it happened to us. Either…
Do you remember when you were a kid, and you were relatively happy? You wondered what your parents had to be upset about. You didn’t comprehend the bills, or that they had been stung, lost the job or were lied on. Now you have 40 years of growth under your…
There was a guy in the Bible who had a few challenges. I’m going to share part of his story while weaving in some lessons we can use today. If the Bible is anything, it’s RELEVANT to our challenges in 2016. 1. I’d Like To Remind You That Every One…
The first one to apologize is walking in the perfect will of God. The first one to apologize is going to enjoy their life. If couples were forgiving each other 490 times a day (Matthew 18:22), there would be less resentment between them, fewer critical words, and more love. God’s…
Paul said, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live.” Galatians 2:20 God brings people into our life to crucify our flesh. You might be married to someone who God is using to teach you patience. You might have given birth to or be the Father of a kid who…
Have you ever been done wrong? Have you ever done someone else wrong? The Bible reads that the love of God draws all men to repentance (Romans 2:4). God’s been dealing with me about this. Getting mad and taking something out on others is not constructive, it’s not mature, and…
Life sends a lot our way. And I think it’s less about what happens to us but how we react to it. Do we react in faith or fear? I think the answer depends on what we are focused on. When we focus on the problem, we sink, when we…
When I sit and think about what my dad did for me, I am overwhelmed with feelings of gratitude. My dad did the hard thing early on so that he could make my life easier. So often in our ministry, I don’t have to ask for money because my dad…
I want to see you go from the land of lack to the land of even, and on to prosperity. I’m sharing this with you today because I don’t want you to get stuck. I want you to get from where you are to where you are called to be….
