Do not give up!

This morning my day started with two things - a song playing in my head and a message from Galatians 6:9. The song keeps playing "There’s nothing that our God can’t do There’s not a prison wall He can’t break through Oh praise the name That makes a way There’s nothing that our God can’t…

How should you be responding? Are you reacting or responding?

There is a huge difference between reacting and responding. A reaction is typically quick, without much thought, tense and aggressive. A response is thought out, calm and non-threatening. A reaction typically provokes more reactions – perpetuating a long line of hatefulness with nothing accomplished. A response typically provokes discussion – perpetuating healthy discussion (debate even)…

Ever heard that hindsight is 2020?

Is it reversible? If so does that mean we are about to head into 2020 and so it will be hindsight? Looking up the word hindsight we can find the definition is "understanding of a situation or event only after it has happened or developed". So going into 2020 might it be possible that we…

Ever laughed either nervously or because you thought it was impossible?

I remember earlier in my career it would happen to me and occasionally I got comments about it.

Today's…

Nothing is impossible with God!

Is the load on you too heavy? Have you considered giving any of it over to God? Is the work too much? Have you considered giving any of it up to God? Is the stress to much? Have you considered not carrying it all on your own? Would you be up for a swap? Would…

It’s time to realize God is God!

What do you believe? Who are you believing in? Where does your trust come from? In whom shall you trust? Are you living for God for something else? How long will you wander? How long will you stray? How long till you come back to God? Or will you run the risk that Jesus will…

How much do you trust God?

How large is your faith? How big of a challenge could you stand up to trusting in God? How far could you go if you were just running on faith? How much could you accomplish if you were just acting in faith? Don't be worried or bothered in picking up other people's stuff, but rather…

What are you asking for? Do you realize what will happen if you get what you want?

Consider closely what you are asking for. Consider the consequences and the reason for the ask. Consider the benefits and the drawbacks. Consider how your priorities should be. Consider your needs vs your wants. What are you asking for? Do you realize what will happen if you get what you want? What is your heart…

Even in the midst of a challenge or struggle, God can be at work.

Ever found yourself in a tough situation? Ever found yourself in a struggle? Every found yourself in a situation that was challenging or difficult? How did you move forward? How did you move on? What was your motivation? What was your hope? Where did you turn? When did you decide how to respond? How dedicated…

Give God the credit He deserves for the victories you receive.

This year has been a good example to me of how much more is possible when God is in it. I know there is more than what I can possibly do in my own strength and then it comes to annual review. When the feedback is broad and the feedback is positive, I have to…

What’s bigger? Where are you putting your trust?

So what is in front of you? Is it a big challenge? So it seems impossible? So it seems like times been compressed and yet even more work is being asked of you? So everyday more things kept changing? And the one thing that stayed the same was the end date? So what will you…

Good to His Word!

Does it sound too good to be true? Does it seem impossible? Does it seem too big to be possible? Does it seem to hard to be possible? Can you believe it? Are you too old? Are you too young? Are you too fast? Are you too slow? Are you too weak? Are you too…

Don’t lead out of fear!

Don't allow the full experience to be robbed because of fear and anxiety! Don't allow lies and deception of the enemy to cause you to live and act out of fear and worry! Don't allow yourself to live in fear, but rather, grab a hold of the truth, grab a hold of the hope, grab…
