We all like to enjoy good things. Many women like to get their nails or hair done. Guys like to buy new fishing equipment or to go on guy’s weekends. These are all good things, but they can add up. God doesn’t want to deny us anything, but sometimes we…
It’s easy to be impatient. It’s easy to want the adrenaline rush or feeling of control when we go out and buy things we don’t need like a new TV, microwave, or iPhone. The buzz is temporary. The high goes back to an everyday average, except with more debt this…
When I ask if you know someone who is upside down, I’m not just referring to someone who does handstands or acrobatics. I’m speaking of the people who get loan after loan, credit card after credit card. It’s the person whose debt exceeds the value of their assets so the…
When we pay with cash, we give God a vote on what we do. Many projects are done by the will of man instead of the will of God. We run right out and get a loan from the bank. The bank isn’t going to tell you that the Holy…
You can’t do everything and do the one thing that God calls you to do. I can’t do what I do and still proceed over every wedding and every funeral – although I wish I could. I can’t go to every wedding, bar mitzvah or BBQ I’m invited to. I…
We want to be the best version of us that we can be so we need to keep our focus and vision on what it is that God called us to do. A lot of people can do a lot of things, and since they can, they do and as…
For us to be successful, we need to do something that we love to do. I love preaching, but there are a lot of things I don’t like doing. We aren’t going to like doing certain parts of our dream. One thing we must do is stay focused on the…
There once was a woman who couldn’t have children. It was all she could think about. She told God that if he would give her a child, she would give the child back to the church. It wasn’t going to happen until God’s favor came upon her. You want your…
We are blessed to be a blessing. Don’t be that person that hoards all of their money, only takes care of themselves and never serves anyone else. Maybe you visit people in prison or maybe you have the gift of hospitality, or administration, whatever your gift, make sure you are…
What separates people who make a big impact from those who don’t? (Big is relative.) They focus on one thing (Proverbs 4:25). I hear people say, “Thank God It’s Friday. I’m just glad I made it through the week.” The most successful people don’t just get through the week. As…
The fivefold ministry is here to help us. The Bible says, And He Himself gave some to be (1) apostles, some (2) prophets, some (3) evangelists, and some (4) pastors and (5) teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry. (Ephesians 4:11-12). The enemy wants you…
