The art of getting the most out of a person is compartmentalizing. You can’t throw away a person because they have bad in them. The best of us have some worst in us and the worst of us have some best in us. No human is 100% anything. Learn to refrain from using words like […]
There are no badges or rewards given to Christians who can carry the most burdens and cares the longest. Sorry, there just isn’t. The reason there isn’t is because we were never instructed to carry that kind of weight long term. We are to be the facilitators of cares. An issue comes to you and […]
Are you a liability or an asset? This is the question you should always have an answer for. Is your presence making whatever you are involved with better or worse? Would someone at your job (other than yourself) say that you bring a noticeable value or would they say that you’re ‘just there for the […]
I’m not a big ‘throw caution to the wind’ kind of guy. Actually, I’m quite the opposite. I look before I leap. Boy do I look… and look.. and look… and LOOK! I’m huge on research, counting the cost, having an exit strategy and a plan B (or C if necessary). Research and planning IS […]
We have a powerful tool. It’s the tool of association or otherwise known as relationship. The right relationships get you into arenas that your skill set may not. The person who can maintain solid relationships will always be a step ahead of the person who is more talented or more skilled. Jesus wants us to […]
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’re an OWNER, not a renter. Success is […]
We tend to put too much emphasis on faith. Don’t get me wrong. You NEED faith to get the job done, but not as much as you think. You need more OBEDIENCE than faith. Often times, the plan that God has for us is so big that He only shows us glimpses of it because […]
Being in church makes you a saint about as much as standing in a garage makes you a car. God desires intimacy with us. Too many of us brush ourselves off and put on dressy clothes to present our ‘Sunday Best’ to God and others every week only to go back to our ‘regular’ selves […]
A relationship is like a bank account. It can become negative when more withdrawals are made from it than deposits. It’s not like you should be keeping a running tally, but if you did … would your significant other say you give more than you get, or vice versa? Would your friends consider you an […]
It’s not always what you say that’s sending the message. Sometimes it’s your look. Some people attempt to hide how they feel behind what they ‘didn’t say’. However, God and others know many times whats in your heart by something as small as your look. Think about it. It wasn’t pride that God said he […]
Don’t be afraid to push the envelope on what God has placed in your heart to do. Sometimes people won’t understand you, and that’s ok. They may even disagree, but that’s still ok. They’re not accountable for the vision because God didn’t give it to them. He gave it to you. Dr ML King, Harriet […]
I’ll be the first to admit that I have gotten upset with God a time or two in my life. He’s all powerful. How does He allow a tornado to level an entire community? Couldn’t He stop a lunatic from shooting up a school and killing innocent children? Honestly speaking, I pouted and even threatened […]
