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.”
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”
We all need help on occasion. Let’s face it. Fortunately, God is less than a heartbeat away to help. We simply need to ask God for help. Continue reading “God Less Than a Heartbeat Away With Help!”
Two of the 7 Secrets to Life I have found are LOVE and FIGHT. I always get remarks that they can’t be—they are opposite ends of the spectrum. How can you LOVE while at the same time FIGHT? Makes no sense, right? Continue reading “Secrets to Life: LOVE and FIGHT?”
My brother talks about people not feeling comfortable in their own skin. A lot of people obviously, and very literally, don’t feel comfortable in their own skin judging by the popularity of cosmetic dermatology. But I’m talking about the inner us being comfortable in our own inner “skin” that makes you you and me me. God loves you the way He made you. You need to love you the way He made you. Continue reading “God Made You to Be You!”
Each one of us has a special, unique purpose in life. Understanding that is key to life. Living that purpose is the real joy in life. We are lost souls until we understand God’s purpose for us. Living that purpose brings real joy, fulfillment, and peace in life. Life is that simple; the way God means it to be for each one of us. Continue reading “Living Your Purpose is the Real Joy in Life”
“No time like the present” tells us to get things done now and don’t put them off till tomorrow. Because tomorrow we may regret not getting things done yesterday, when it was the present. We get so trapped in time, worrying about what can/will happen tomorrow and what we should have done in the past, that we have so little time for the present. Not living for today, and stopping to enjoy the moment, is why so many people are unhappy, unfulfilled, and not at peace with themselves. Take a lesson from God: He only lives in the present. Continue reading “Take a Lesson: With God All Time is Like the Present!”
You are one-of-a-kind. Even if you are an exact identical twin, you are totally unique. God threw away the mold when he made you; just like he does with every person he creates. You are not just special, novel, and unique—how many ways can I say you are different!—physically, but you have a purpose in life that is all yours. God knows you are special and designed you for a specific purpose. The question is—Do you know you are special and do you understand you purpose in life? Continue reading “God Knows You Are Special. Do You?”
The human mind plans the way, but the Lord directs the steps. Proverbs 16:9
The plan is ours—where we want to go and how we want to get there. We established our freedom of choice in the garden, starting with our freedom to make bad decisions. We are not puppets at the end of God’s strings. We are free to plan and choose. But God clearly directs our steps on the path we set, trying to direct us on the right path. The path to Him. Continue reading “You Plan; God Directs”
Look, I don’t know whether Tim Tebow is an NFL quarterback. I do know that, regardless of his “throwing mechanics,” all Tim Tebow has done his entire life is win games as a quarterback. But people, especially the sports writers, love to rail against Tim Tebow. Not just because of his ability to play quarterback in the NFL but because he truly lives his Christianity. And that makes a lot of people very uncomfortable. Continue reading “Why People Rail Against Tim Tebow”
