What do you make gods out of? For some people, it’s money and prestige. For others, their fears become their god.
Anything we spend an inordinate amount of time focusing on could become our god. Fear and worry dominate some people’s lives, but the Bible tells us 365 times not to worry, once for every day of the year. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
Pay attention to what you think about, where your attention lies. There is your god…
How much time does you spend worrying? However much that is, it’s too much. Most of us don’t have time to waste, so eliminate worry from your life.
Eliminate worry? How? Change your focus. Keep your eyes on the Word of God. There are 365 times in the Bible we are told to not be fearful. That’s one time for every day of the year. I don’t believe that’s coincidental.
Peace of mind will replace worry. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it will happen if you commit…
Do you ever hear people say, “what if this happens or that happens?” Most what-ifs never come to fruition.
Needless worries over potential outcomes are just that, needless. You can “what if” anything to death.

We are in the final stages of the pandemic, and that’s something to be grateful for. Yet the damage to mental health rages on.

There is light on the other side of the dark…
Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders. We are failing them. In 2016, suicide became the #2 killer of kids. In 2020 a study revealed that 78% of students felt lonely. It’s ironic that so many kids could feel lonely. We live in the most technologically connected culture ever.
The solution? One thing we can do is make certain our children feel loved and accepted. Hold them accountable for their actions, but don’t let them feel unloved because they made a mistake or two.
We must turn this around, and fast. It begins with us…
On social media, we see pictures and posts of perfect lives. This is great! We should celebrate happy moments. Yet, think of how much compassion we would see from others if we sometimes showed how hellish life can be. Something worth considering…
We concern ourselves about what others think of us. Their opinions do not matter because they have no authority over our lives. Focus on yourself, and take care of yourself mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Everything will fall into place. Let others think whatever they want. You know the truth…
All across society, we see people who are trying to find themselves through external means. I’ve done it myself, which I discussed in my book, “Killing My Father Then Finding Him.” Here’s some truth: we find our value when we realize God created us exactly how He wanted us to be. Accept that truth and you will accept yourself…
