Reading the Bible won’t make you sinless, but it will certainly make you sin less. And isn’t that the goal?… Read the rest

Behind every self-defeating act is a lie you have chosen to believe. Thus, if we are going to stop defeating ourselves, then we must stop deceiving ourselves. For that to happen, we need to learn the truth about ourselves. And we do that by being in God’s Word. “There must be a spiritual renewal of your thoughts and your attitudes” (Ephesians 4:23).… Read the rest

Every day we are learning something, and that something is what we will end up living out in our lives. “Life consists of what a man is thinking about all day” (Ralph Waldo Emerson).… Read the rest

New thinking requires new material. For we are not what we think we are. We are what we think. The Bible tells us, “As a man thinketh, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7).… Read the rest

Change is awkward – but so was my first kiss, and that didn’t stop me from doing it. Therefore, just because change feels weird, it doesn’t mean it’s necessarily wrong. I will tell you this: the person who insists on using yesterday’s methods in today’s world won’t be in business tomorrow.… Read the rest

No one likes to die to anything – especially to themselves. But according to God’s Word, it’s the only way that we experience true life change.… Read the rest

Every beginning ends something, and every ending begins something. Thus, if we are to discover new lands, then we must consent to lose sight of the familiar shore for a while.… Read the rest

Have you ever heard the words, “you’ve given me a lot to think about”? God’s truth was not written to merely mull over, but to obey. “Those who look closely into the perfect law that sets people free, who keep on paying attention to it and do not simply listen and then forget it, but put it into practice – they will be blessed by God in what they do” (James 1:25). When God writes something – you can trust completely.… Read the rest

To live differently, you have to think differently. And to think differently, you have to make the deliberate, daily choice, to change. Like a circus trapeze artist, it’s required to let go of one bar to get to the other. Just remember, intentions without actions always lead to nothing.… Read the rest

Our society is full of plastic buildings on the foundation of false hopes. We live in a day of shortcuts, loopholes, and ‘one more for the road,’ as we look for an exit to escape reality. We’re never successful until we know what’s right, and then make the choice to do it.… Read the rest

“If your career, marriage, job, and life are to improve, you must change. In the mirror you are looking at the problem and the solution. The people who reach their potential no matter what their background or profession think in terms of improvement” (Julio Melara).… Read the rest

Most people would rather change their circumstances to improve their lives rather than change their lives, which ultimately improves their circumstances. It’s crazy, but we often think about changing the world, just not ourselves – but true lasting change is always an inside job.… Read the rest

The only growth limitations that we have lie within ourselves. Growth is an inside job – how we embrace the lessons that lie before us and around us. Every situation, no matter how difficult or even seemingly boring, is a classroom in which we can learn and grow. CHOOSE to be a learner. Embrace every opportunity – it’s always a win.… Read the rest

God is the only One I know who can change the human heart. Government can’t, money won’t, and ideal circumstances don’t. Only God can. Without Him, our efforts will be futile at best. “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain” (Psalm 127:1).… Read the rest

Learn to understand what truly satisfies your soul; otherwise, you’ll never be able to develop an attitude of contentment. You’ll always be looking, searching for that good time, but never finding it.… Read the rest

There is a race God sets before each and every one of us. You cannot run someone else’s race; you can only run your own. If you run the wrong race, you’ll end up at the wrong finish line. There’s no fun in that.… Read the rest

An attitude that attracts success begins with knowing which opportunities to accept and which to reject. In this way, you will begin to develop not just an existence, but a life that is answering God’s call every single day.… Read the rest

“Attempt something so impossible that unless God is in it, it’s doomed to failure” (John Haggai). Our dreams should always be beyond our abilities, but never beyond His. The greatest joy is being a part of what only God can do. So step up, step out, and witness His greatest.… Read the rest

Every day we are privileged with 86,400 seconds to invest. We can choose to squander them or invest them. Since we have only one life to give, let’s live it well. Our attitude will be the difference – are we existing or living?… Read the rest

It’s been said that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond. Solomon wrote, “For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again, but the wicked stumble in time of calamity” (Proverbs 24:16). Every stumble can be a setback or a stepping stone – you choose.… Read the rest

We need to train our eyes to see God’s presence, not His absence. God is everywhere, doing something eternal in a very awesome and perfect way. Though we may not understand it, though we may not physically see it, it’s important that we look for it. “For God is at work in you who believe” (1 Thessalonians 2:13).… Read the rest

Whatever we’re looking for is what we will always see. To paraphrase Helen Keller, the greatest human tragedy is not blindness, but having seeing eyes and yet cannot see. Jesus said, “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness” (Matthew 6:22-23).… Read the rest

Failure is not when you get knocked down. Failure is when you refuse to get back up. We cannot allow ourselves to hang around the swamps of despair. I’ve heard it said, “When you go through hell, don’t stop to take pictures.” … Read the rest

Often when I have been surrounded with struggles, I feel like the lion tamer who put an ad in the paper: “Lion tamer – wants tamer lion.” Attitude is everything. Our attitude will either protect us or defeat us. Life is really not about the battle outside us, but the one that lies within us.… Read the rest
