When we tell people something, we expect them to believe us. But why wouldn’t they believe us?
Our reputation is extremely important when we are dealing with people. If we have the reputation of being one who exaggerates, the other party might be skeptical of what we are saying. Should our reputation be impeccable, then our credibility is secure.
Take inventory of what others think of your word. It might be telling you something…
People aspire to greatness. It’s not the same as fame because fame can be temporary. Great people tend to last, and their impact is felt for generations.
Do you want to be great? Start by being good…
We are coming into political campaign season. All the “experts” in their political views will be alive and rampant on the internet. But do their opinions really matter to anyone besides themselves?
In my observation, I have never seen anyone affected by someone cramming their opinions down someone else’s throat. This applies to politics, religion, and even sports.
People must come to their way of thinking on their own. We should question ourselves, test our convictions and constantly evolve as we mature. This is part of the strength of a free society…
There is always a way to accomplish what you really want. Think creatively. See the situation from many angles. Talk it through with people and listen to their perspective. You do not have to do what anyone suggests, but it might be a good idea to consider what others think.
And always remember that the mind is your powerful connection to the spiritual realm. And you can do anything you set your mind to…
In today’s PC culture, it has become nearly impossible to not offend somebody. Don’t misunderstand me, rudeness is never acceptable. Nor is intentionally marginalizing people. But political correctness has gone too far. I’ve had enough.
We used to laugh at things that were edgy. The intention came from a pure heart with no desire to hurt anyone. Now what we formerly found humor in has created a bunch of whiny victims. Try being a white man in today’s society. We are the vilified, yet I’m not a victim. I was born the way God wanted me. I’m good.
Political correctness will destroy us from within. We must take a stand for what’s right, whether it’s PC or not…
Magic is everywhere. We have magic shows, magical connections, we even have the Magic Kingdom! But what is magic?
Magic describes the use of mysterious or supernatural forces to alter reality. But the magician isn’t using supernatural powers. He’s simply creating an illusion.
There is a true supernatural power found in the word of God. Just saying the name Jesus makes the demons shudder. These are real forces and they are available to everyone.
Remember this when you talk to God. He is listening, always. Thank Him in advance for what you ask for, and thank Him for what He has given you. Then watch the magic happen…
How do you approach life? Are you facing your challenges directly and with confidence, or do they make you anxious?
In The Book of Timothy the author writes, “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power and love…” In other words, we have been equipped by the Creator to rely on Him and His guidance to work through our difficulties. God knows what our futures hold because He is already there. Why wouldn’t we let Him guide us instead of trying to do everything ourselves?
I encourage you to remember this when worry and anxiety strikes. Let go and let God. You are a warrior in His eyes…
Some people say they don’t do well under pressure, while others need deadlines to hold them accountable.
Working under pressure has never been a problem for me. I revel in it. And when you think about it, life is full of deadlines. The mortgage/rent is due on the first. Kids must be at school by a certain time. Your job wants you there by 8:00 etc.
We live in a time-constructed society. Deadlines are part of our daily lives…
There is much more going on than we can see. The spiritual world is a different dimension. Just because we can’t see it doesn’t make it less real.
The Bible encourages us to keep our eyes on “things that are unseen.” Those things are eternal. Every challenge we face in our lives is a spiritual battle. Again, we don’t see it but God sends His angels to thwart our invisible enemy. Take solace in the fact that the Creator of the Universe is on our side, not the other. Therefore we are assured of victory if we just keep going.
Seeing the world through a different lens puts it in perspective. It doesn’t take away pain and struggle. But it gives us hope…
We all have our own unique set of beliefs. But do you ever question your beliefs?
Our beliefs evolve as we age and grow. Many of us believed in Santa Claus until we didn’t. (Actually, I still believe in Santa and always will). Maybe we believed things we knew weren’t true, but refused to give in to disbelief. Maybe we believed in people who let us down.
There is one set of truth that never wavers: God’s truth. If it was true 1000 years ago, it’s still true today. What God says goes. He cannot lie. He can’t even stretch the truth. You can believe what He says.
Let’s base our belief system on the Word of God. We may not always understand it, but our lack of understanding doesn’t make it less true…
