We’ve talked about our words and how important and powerful our words are. It’s one thing to say something and another thing to believe what you’re saying. Believing what you are saying is made evident in your actions. We’ve talked about action in reference to self-discipline, now I’d like to attach it to lifestyle. Living … More Live it
I must ask for your forgiveness for my lack of posts recently. Simply put I allowed weariness to settle in me. No excuses, just improvements! I attended #Jesus17 over the weekend and am quite refreshed. Some of what we’ll discuss this week will be what was imparted in that time. Because of the challenge of … More Stay Strong
I will divert from the topic of self-discipline and focus on faith this week. Apparently, the east coast of the United States is in a tizzy over Hurricane Irma. A storm. Who’s afraid of this storm? Many, it seems. I understand why people who don’t have the hope of eternal life would. But why would … More Diversion
I have to be transparent with you all and let you know the challenges I’ve had with self-discipline this week. Did you know that when you declare a thing, there may be opportunity for great opposition? Well, it’s true. Just when you receive a thing from the Lord and the devil hears about it, he’s … More Taking Action
We are a three part being just like God because we were made in his image and likeness (Gen. 1:27). We are a spirit, we have a soul, and we live in a body. Our spirit is made into a new creature when we believe on the name of Jesus (2 Cor. 5:17). Our soul … More The Body
This week writing has been a challenge for me. I started three other pieces before this one in an attempt to go around the point God was directing me to write on. Usually I get what he wants me to write on then it just comes out. I revise a few times and it’s done. … More A Living Testimony
“My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest. In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them. But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.” Psalm 22:2, 4, 6 Have you ever … More Thank you, come again!
If you’re anything like me, you’ve opened your mouth when you should’ve have, shared unwelcome opinions, and maybe said the right thing but in the wrong tone. I’d like to think that unless you’re a mute, you’ve said at least one hurtful thing in your life because I know I have. Even James says “we … More Abundant Heart
We’ve all got something important to do, somewhere to be, someone to meet. Personally, I really enjoy being busy. Some find it stressful, but I find satisfaction in it. I believe that satisfaction is the very reason I am not busy now. We will get to that, but since busy looks different for each of … More Busy, Busy
Don’t knock it till you try it, right? I guess that’s where I’m at right now. God is really funny about how he directs our lives and sometimes he has us doing things because it’s something we would never choose on our own. Blogging is something I don’t really get, but it’s what I feel … More The Vision
