You know that many runners enter a race, and only one of them wins the prize. So run to win! 1 Corinthians 9:24
Jesus was constantly attacked and criticized by the Pharisees. They viciously condemned his theology, doctrine and lifestyle. Blasphemy was there battle cry against Him. But, have you ever asked "why were they really so worked up?"
We need to return ALL that ‘junk’… that is, go to the person or people where the words, attitude or behavior was ‘unwrapped’ and ask for forgiveness.
I've always lived by the thought, "begin with the end in mind" -- I apply this to many areas of my life (from sermon prep, to ministry focus, to financial planning, to exercise objectives, etc)…
I want to see the CHURCH, that Jesus set in motion, RISE UP and RETURN to being a community-shaking, Holy Spirit powered, world-changing, enemy-crushing, non-stop-smiling, servant-warrior family who are super courageous and explode with crazy love!
Do you know why God made you? Have you asked Him? Maybe this blog will help you?
To the Christian leader, influence isn’t leverage to be exploited… it’s an earned opportunity to gracefully advance, encourage and become!
The best leadership ALWAYS begins and ends with the Lord. That's right, He MUST be Lord (not just Savior). When He's in charge, we are always suited to serve at the highest level.
Jesus wants ALL to be saved! Religious, pagan, rich, poor, young, old… ANYONE.
Doubt is a punk! He's a hater, poser and crippler. He causes you to focus on your feelings and fears. He distracts you from spending time with Jesus and reading God's Word.
“Be still and know;” what a powerful truth. Stillness is a tool that God uses to convert potential energy into actual energy.
