Whatever controls your thoughts controls you. Life can convince you what to think. Don’t let negative situations win the battle for your mind. Constant disappointments, relationship and money struggles over time can make you feel inadequate and cause you to question everything you thought you knew. Thats STINKING THINKING and you can’t just relax let […]
You may have recently heard some news that disturbed you, but God has the last say. Not your job. Not your enemies or even your friends. God does. Final doesn’t mean final unless God says so. I have seen people outlive final dates given by doctors. I’ve seen people still living in homes that the […]
You can have the best of intentions but the wrong application. It’s important to be open to hearing God’s voice for direction in everything. For example, what may have worked for you as a child may not work for your children. You may show love by buying gifts, but your spouse receives love by spending […]
I may not choose to condone, but I can choose to coexist. As a Christian, there are many things that are against God’s laws that I don’t accept, but I can still be tolerant and love the people doing those things. Are they right? Are they wrong? It’s irrelevant to love. Christians have to do […]
A wise old woman once told me that the only people who want to be married are single people. She certainly wasn’t speaking for everyone, but I found truth in her statement. Many times we are so preoccupied with what we WANT that we can’t see what we HAVE. I work out regularly at the […]
Most of the sin we struggle with is not about the sin but about the pain that we use sin to medicate. For example, the pain was abuse, but promiscuity became the sin that medicated the pain. The pain was abandonment, but drug addiction became the sin that medicated the pain. Guilt is one of […]
There’s an old saying that says, ‘inch by inch anything’s a cinch. Yard by yard, anything’s hard!’ God gives us our DAILY bread. Not weekly. Not monthly. You have just enough strength and nourishment for TODAY. Tomorrow’s strength will come tomorrow. Don’t try to handle tomorrow’s problems with today’s strength. That’s how you get overwhelmed. […]
We are limited by the boundaries of our perspective. Our perspectives are determined by our experiences. Limited experiences typically mean limited perspective. Be careful about rushing to judgment about that which you have no perspective. It’s amazing how people who have NO experience in a particular area are so quick to judge. If this is […]
If you can see it, it’s doesn’t require faith. How many of us won’t start a God given assignment because we don’t understand every detail or know how it’s going to turn out? The greatest way the enemy can stop a plan is to ensure it never even starts. You may not have much, […]
‘Lord keep us from dangers seen AND unseen.’ This is a prayer many of us pray over our families. It’s stories like this that remind us why. According to NBC news, a mother and her 3 children were travelling through the newly renovated Birmingham airport on Friday when a sign fell on them. Heather Bresette and 2 of […]
It’s horrible tragedy out of Brunswick, Ga. where 2 boys ages 17 and 14 yrs old, allegedly shot both a mother and her 13 month old baby. The baby unfortunately died. According CNN to the mother, Sherry West, said “A boy approached me and told me he wanted my money, and I told him I […]
It is impossible to remain bitter towards, have a cold attitude against, or consistently mistreat some that you are effectually and fervently praying for. Effective prayer works first on the person who is doing the praying. If you are constantly bitter, angry or just plain stank with anyone … though it may be hard to […]
