We all like to hit buttons, and I don’t mean the ones on the elevator. We like to hit the hot button; that button that is the key to getting on someone else’s nerves. Pride causes us to keep doing that thing that annoys someone else. We get out of…
Getting along with people is a valuable commodity for us to cultivate. We need to enjoy life. We need to get to the point where the events around us don’t upset us. At times, the thought of spending a holiday weekend with certain people can make our blood pressure rise…
God has been showing me the great need for healing in our society. People are crying out for healing. The enemy is trying to convince people that they deserve to live with the pain. The enemy wants us to give up, give in and stop believing for healing. “Also [Jesus]…
In our society, when we get sick or have a problem, we tend to talk about it. We ask for advice, we google for solutions, and direct all of our energy on what is wrong with us. We need to focus that google search on positive things instead of trying…
