Walking Faith
Talk is cheap. Living life based on what you can see is cheap. Walking faith is not easy and often “expensive.” You have to close your eyes and just walk. It takes faith.
As Paul says, “We walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7)
It’s easy to live life just by sight. You live for the world and grab all the gusto there is. You live just for yourself and no tomorrow. The problem is that living by sight ironically leads to a dead end in life. It’s shallow and unfulfilling. That’s why so many people are unhappy—they hit one dead end after another.
Living by faith—what you can’t see but believe—is not easy. It’s tough. It takes leaps of faith and shutting out what you can see. However, it’s amazingly fulfilling when you do it for some time. And it leads to greater peace and joy in life. That’s because you realize there is something better and beyond this world. There’s a future of possibilities—not just dead ends.
Try walking faith. Get back to what Jesus said about how to live life and how Paul and others interrupted what Jesus said. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act (Psalm 37:5). But you have to commit—not half way but all the way! Have faith. Leap!
Have a great day walking faith!

God or Money? You Choose.
This says it all:
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Matthew 6:24
The choice is all yours. This doesn’t mean you have to be poor if you pick God. It simply means that in life you choose who to follow: God or wealth. Your choice? Continue reading “God or Money? You Choose.”
Model Leader: Jesus Christ
A leader puts the cause, group, or organization above him/herself. A leader sacrifices their own needs, wants, interests to further those of others. There is no “I” in “leader” for the same reason there is no “I” in “team.” A true leader is totally selfless, not selfish. And there is no better role model of what a leader is than Jesus Christ. Continue reading “Model Leader: Jesus Christ”
