The church has always played an active part in my life. Sunday has always been and still is a special day that is reserved for going to the House of God. When I do miss, I feel like my whole week is thrown off and I start it all wrong.
Over the years I have had [...]

Do You Really Prepare Yourself For Worship?
October 13th, 2009 · No Comments · God, Religion, cartoon, church, self improvement
Many times we go to church expecting to be entertained instead of going with an expectation of God doing something in our life like convicting us of sin or reminding us of things that need to change.
The motto of the world today is “What is in it for me?” or “What can you do for [...]

Poem – A Boy Named Grumble Tone
October 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · God, faith, poem, self improvement
I think this probably hits most of us pretty hard, as it is so much easier to grumble than to take a little extra effort to find something good to say. We would all be much better off if we took some time to think about things before we act or speak; better yet to [...]

Unshakable – Are Your Roots That Deep?
October 2nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Christianity, God, faith, self improvement
How many of us as Christians can say we have a foundation in God that is strong enough to truly be unshakable no matter what might come our way – that our roots are so strong we might sway a bit but not bend to the point that we will be broken and uprooted?
We all [...]

God Can Use You No Matter What!
September 29th, 2009 · No Comments · God, evangelical, faith, self improvement, success
I have received this in an email several times, but as I read it this time it made me think more about my life and how much I limit God by my lack of faith. I put Him in a box many times by expecting Him to do things in a certain way or in [...]

Persistence Pays Off!
September 17th, 2009 · No Comments · God, animals, faith, self improvement, theology
As you will see in the pictures below, the bear is determined to get to his reward, so he doesn’t give up until he finds a way to get it even though it looks either almost impossible or somewhat dangerous.
Why don’t we as Christians be as persistent to read our Bible, pray, and determine to [...]

Video – You Are God’s Masterpiece
August 31st, 2009 · No Comments · Christianity, God, church, faith, love, self improvement, success
This video made quite an impact on me. I am just an ordinary person like you. It sometimes is hard to believe that the God who made the whole universe looks down upon me and sees me as a unique person that He wants to mold and use in a mighty way to do the [...]
Have You Let Your Mountain Be Too Big For God?
August 27th, 2009 · No Comments · God, cartoon, faith, self improvement
Isn’t this how we view our problems many times? We become so focused on the long climb that we forget to enjoy and live each day to the fullest. When you have problems, it is easy to look at them as a worst-case scenario instead of giving God control and letting Him work everything out.
Don’t [...]
What Will It Take For You To Step Out Of The Boat?
August 24th, 2009 · No Comments · God, faith, self improvement
Isn’t this an accurate word picture of what faith means to many of us? It’s easy to walk on the water if you know it is frozen underneath you and there is no chance of you falling in.
When Peter asked Jesus to let him get out of the boat and walk towards him, he was [...]

We Have All Been Created To Be Like The Moon
August 17th, 2009 · No Comments · God, creation, faith, self improvement, success
The moon’s light and the sun’s light are a lot different. The moon only reflects light, while the sun has enough power to create its own. We were created to be like the moon. We don’t have light of our own; we merely reflect God’s glory.
