I want to tell you a secret. It doesn’t mean you can’t tell it to others, but it’s mainly for you. Here it is: You have a secret weapon… God. It’s that simple. Your weapon causes you to ultimately win in everything in life that concerns you. Despite your financial situation, your secret weapon is […]
Some things simply take time. It’s a process. We want everything NOW because have become accustomed to this microwave age. When things don’t happen as fast as we think they should, many of us tend to bail out on the process. Yes, some things can happen immediately, but most don’t. Even God took 6 days […]
The reason most of us don’t consistently make better eating choices is because the bad stuff simply tastes better. Face it. When you’re full and satisfied after a thanksgiving dinner, typically it’s not because you just ate tofu and alfalfa sprouts! Many people, if they were to be honest, view a lifestyle of righteousness as […]
This is simple but true. You don’t need the light IN the light. You need it in darkness. We are called to be the light of the world, yet many of us don’t care to approach any type of darkness. Perhaps we don’t want the darkness to ‘get on us’? Understand this… no matter how […]
It’s a known fact. I can’t STAND the New Orleans Saints. Nope, not at all. I don’t know them personally, but that doesn’t matter. I just don’t like them. Why? Because they are division rivals? Not quite. Honestly, it’s because they do a GREAT job at beating my Atlanta Falcons more often than not. The […]
Don’t be so quick to fill the space in your life that has become vacant. Sometimes it needs to remain empty for a while so you can regain your peace of mind and get ready for the blessing that God is preparing to occupy that space. Don’t fill it with ordinary just to have something […]
Can I tell you a secret? Most of my greatest accomplishments began with me not having a CLUE what I was doing. I was just knew it was an opportunity presented by God and I had just enough obedience to start. That’s it. I’m not the smartest, the richest, the most handsome or the most […]
It may be hard to hear, but you can’t make people who don’t believe in you, wrong. Face it. No one HAS to believe in your potential. It would be nice, but you can’t get angry or resentful if they don’t. Only a select few will invest in your potential. The rest need to see […]
You were created SPECIFICALLY for a purpose. God had something that needed to be done and He CREATED you to do it. You’re kind of a big deal. Take ownership of your gifts and the value of your purpose. Be BOLD and readjust your Godly swagger … You don’t RENT your gift. You OWN it. […]
Take care to monitor your self talk. Internal conversations become external realities. Allowing the wrong thing to simmer on your mind without proper ventilation will inevitably cause an explosion. Even keeping your real thoughts inside just to ‘keep the peace’ can have disastrous results if not handled correctly. Vent the bad stuff to someone qualified […]
Genuine Christian love and being judgmental does NOT look the same! Be cautious that what you are calling ‘standing for righteousness’ is not just your way of bypassing your primary responsibility to love other people just like you love yourself. Ask yourself how you’d want to be treated if the shoe were on the other […]
Does it take more effort to recognize the good and be grateful than it does to recognize the bad and complain? I don’t have research to answer this question, but I wonder sometimes. Last year in the Atlanta area we were complaining of severe drought conditions and the problems that came as a result of […]
