Thoughts develop into actions and actions have far reaching consequences for society as a whole.
There are all kinds of stories; some are funny stories, some are ridiculous, sad, such tall stories they simply cannot be true. The greatest story ever told sounds like it could be just a tall story. The Truth of the gospel seems too good to be true but it is true never the less.
Many times it appears as if serving God is futile but God, The Judge, has yet to make His final ruling.
Commitments are important as we walk out our Christian faith as we represent Christ and His reputation in and to the world.
Following Christ is not for the faint of heart or the miser – it will cost us everything.
James Doolittle was a visionary and it cost him everything. One must decide early-on that he can & will give of 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.
The way in which we define success is the key to unlocking one’s success.
We humans fear anything we don’t understand. Only Christ can steel us – prepare us - fit us in such a way so that we meet death fearlessly.
Problems can be solved only when they are not hidden. Sometimes we are the ones hiding and that is simply wasted time.
Because of Christ’s redemptive work in life and death on the cross the Father is able to wipe the board clean, enabling His created children to correct the error within.
The quickest way to fail to impress someone is to pretend to be someone or something we are not.
Getting everything we want is not “heaven”. We aren’t built to have our wishes granted without effort. We are built to strive – to achieve – to conquer. Our wrong ideas of God and heaven will prove to be our undoing.
One act of kindness is often all that is needed to change hearts minds and lives.
How many of us need to be willing to cover the hillside with white? Many more are desperate to know it is safe to come home.
Christ’s presence and work in one’s life is inexplicable but is always obvious.
Those who truly investigate the gospel find their minds and hearts changed toward Christ rather than the gospel disproved.
Undo concern; that’s what most worry is. 95% of the stuff about which we worry never happens. The other 5% is beyond our control; so why expose ourselves to the stress of worry?
Humor – appreciation – encouragement – forgiveness and grace; five words with the poser within them to change a life in a redemptive direction.
