Not everyone marching in the parade of life can lead. There must always be the followers. Second best doesn’t mean less-than or incapable. It simply means that we play the part we have to the best of our ability.
What if everyone were to say, “I’m just one man.” Many of the changes that benefitted the entire world have begun in the heart and mind of one solitary man.
There is nothing basically wrong in criticism, it can actually be very good for us. How we do the criticizing and our motives in it are the factors that will make it constructive or destructive.
The life of the believer is to be enjoyed. Laughter and valuing family is just a couple of the ways for us to help ourselves enjoy living our lives.
One must be convinced that we can have victory over life difficulties when we refuse to allow them to defeat us.
Fear will stop us from venturing out unless our focus remains on the mission at hand. Remember, we don’t have to return but we must go when and where Christ calls.
There comes a point in the life of each person when they will decide to follow Christ or not. How will you choose if yours comes today?
Christ occasionally got away from His followers to be alone with The Father to rest and refresh. In His pattern we can find our physical and mental health.
This world is a sinful place. Self-absorbed people are everywhere and in desperate need of The Light of the World. In other words, the very thing we are called to be.
Anticipating life’s problems can be helpful in developing a game-plan but there is a fine line between preparation and fruitless angst.
Interesting thoughts about the life of Thomas Jefferson. Pride must be handled with proper control.
Getting ourselves out of the way – losing one’s self – is necessary in order to truly find ones’ purpose.
The historical relationship between President Abraham Lincoln and Edwin Stanton serves as a good reminder of Christ’s command to us in Luke.
A periodic self-check is a good thing to do. The “usual” isn’t to be taken for granted.
Lost items can be difficult to locate. Usually those items are found in front of our face but we miss them as we’re searching for them so feverishly.
How many stories like Johnny’s are repeated throughout our society? Is it any wonder as society has continually moved away from the things of God?
Following Christ is not for the faint of heart or the miser – it will cost us everything.
Charles Doolittle was a visionary and it cost him everything. One must decide early-on that he can & will give himself, whatever the cost, to the vision.
From where do we acquire hope? Can it be that the Creator hopes for us? Why else would He continue to call humanity to Himself even though we stiff-arm Him while shaking our fist at His invitation?
Failure is not necessarily final or fatal. By what standard do we define failure? …maybe failure is actually a step-up toward successful accomplishment.
