We sometimes allow ourselves to get into situations that is way out of God’s perfect will for us.
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (2Pe 1:3-4 KJV) (more…)
Yesterday we began fasting from the thought, “It’s not fair. God’s not fair.” There was much more that I wanted to give you to empower you over this wrong way of thinking, so I continue today. Our concept of God shapes how we view ourselves, our life, and those around Read more
Remember the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you.
This simple code of behavior, when practiced, made our schools, and society, a far better place than they are today. The Golden Rule has been called the greatest principle of human relations and originated from the Bible with these words of Jesus: “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets” (Matthew 7:12).
According to Jesus, two great commands serve as the foundation of all the teaching of law and the prophets (Matt. 22:37-40). The first and greatest commandment is to “love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, mind, and soul.” He stated that the second great command is to “love thy neighbor as thyself,” which is another reference to the Golden Rule. In other words, “love” is the act of doing unto others as we would want them to do unto us.
The Golden Rule continues to be Jesus’ expected standard of behavior by His followers.

Do you hear?
Do you ever wonder why some people claim to hear the voice of the Lord on a regular basis and others don’t?
Is it because some are more ‘spiritual’ or closer to God than others? Do you sometimes feel ‘left-out’ or uncertain about yourself when you hear that some-one else received a Word from the Lord? You may have had the feeling that God is not speaking to you. I hope this article will give you a little more confidence in your faith. (more…)
Good morning!
Remember, we are not fasting, in the strictest sense of the word—from food. But we are ‘fasting’ (giving up, abstaining) from wrong ways of thinking. Proverbs 23:7 says, “As a man thinks within, so is he.” Our life, our actions, our destinies are determined by THE WAY WE THINK. So, let’s get to the root, thinking in alignment with God’s Word, and we will experience the God-kind-of life—superabundant in quantity and superior in quality. (John 10:10)
Today we are ‘fasting’ from the thought that says: “It’s just not fair. God’s not fair.”
Make that your attitude, too!
Your ability to succeed in life often comes down to a single choice: how you react to what has been done to you in the past, or is being done to you right now. Dr. Viktor Frankl endured the Holocaust by this principle. The Nazis killed his family, placed him in a concentration camp, starved and beat him. When the war ended Frankl was neither broken, bent nor bitter. When asked how he endured such treatment with a positive outlook he said, “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms, to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” (more…)

Forgiveness
Who hasn’t thought that at one time or another? The devil would love to keep us in self-condemnation for the things we have done or failed to do. He knows it paralyzes us and prevents us from making the kind of impact that God intended for us.
I just read yesterday of a young teenager who accidentally struck his 5 year old sister, with a car, tragically killing her in their driveway. And as tragic as it is for a child to die in that way at such a young age, the greater tragedy is the difficulty this young man will have forgiving himself. Though few of us have faced something as dramatic as this, we all need to overcome the thoughts that try to accuse us for what we have done. Hopefully, as well, this message will get to that young man and provide the encouragement he will need in this challenging time.
