Sometimes we become overwhelmed with being ‘politically correct’… even with God. We say things like, ‘Lord, I don’t praise you for what you’ve DONE, but I praise you for who you ARE’. It’s like we don’t want to come off like we’re spiritual gold diggers or something. I think our hearts are in the right […]
There’s some good in the worst of us and some worst in the best of us. No human is 100% either or. We ALL are both ‘and’. We have to resist the urge to label a person that way because of how they made us feel. If you can be honest with yourself, your ex […]
If it’s possible, consider putting a dollar amount to your dream. Everything seems ‘too expensive’ when you don’t know what it takes to make it happen. Do a little light research. You may discover that all along you’ve been desiring something that’s TOTALLY within your reach. It’s not a dream when you’re DOING it! Habakkuk […]
How effective are you as a child of God? Let me rephrase… With all of the God we sing, pray, preach, testify, and label ourselves with (ie: CHRISTians), can you point to where you are consistently effective and everyone who knows you would agree? Salt is effective because everything it touches is impacted. Light is […]
As a child of God, I’ve learned that there is no way to really know ME without knowing Him. Colossians 3:3 says that my life is ‘hidden in Christ’; therefore the only way I can discover the true meaning of who I am, what my purpose is and what I can truly do is to […]
Moment of transparency here. God revealed something to me at the top of the year that greatly impacted me. He made it clear that there was more He had for me but couldn’t release because I simply wasn’t ready. It wasn’t that I had to earn it. It was already mine. I just hadn’t proven […]
Sometimes doing the right thing requires you to take your mind/body hostage and MAKE it obey. This happens to both the veteran Christian and the rookie Christian so don’t be discouraged. Flesh will never get saved so no need to be frustrated when it wants to act like a sinner. Just feed your spirit more […]
I’ve said it before. ‘The church building is a hospital, so don’t be surprised when you see people there that need help’. Though this is true, it’s not the whole truth. It’s a bit of a selfish perspective. You typically don’t go to hospitals when you are well, and you shouldn’t ‘just’ go to church […]
We all desire it. Aretha Franklin wrote a song about it. R-E-S-P-E-C-T But how well do you function when the people you REALLY desire it from don’t give it to you? Glad you asked. Everyone has SOMETHING that they respect and if you really HAVE to have a particular person’s respect in order to advance, […]
Forbes magazine publisher Malcolm Forbes said, ‘Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.’ There is an element in many of us that causes us to accentuate the negative in our lives. It’s the equivalent of looking at a clean white t-shirt that has a small ketchup stain on it. […]
Despite the seminars, how to videos, books and etc., every person who has found success did so because God said … ‘Now’. Hard work and intelligence help, but don’t guarantee success. God can only do that. I can’t tell you how many times I got positions and jobs that I KNOW someone else was more […]
Sometimes a person not believing in you has more to do with a them issue than a you issue. Embrace godly wisdom and know when to stop trying to convince them of who you are and what you bring to the table. You may find that the reason you’re struggling is because you’re trying to […]
