Enjoy today’s challenge regarding a grace filled good attitude!  If you want to live your dream, you must embrace a faith-filled, Christ-centered, positive attitude. Many believers live far beneath their potential because of the way they think.

some quotes from today:

• Embrace your weakness, and say “GOD, If I’m going to live my dreams, if your best is going to be realized in my life, it will be because of your work IN ME, not because of what I do.  I’m weak.
• God doesn’t bless you because of how well or not well you do, he blesses you because of Jesus Christ.
• It’s not that they aren’t sincere about their commitment to Christ. They’re just not so sure about the sincerity of His commitment to them.
• Your problem is NOT your circumstances, your problem is your lack of belief.
• what we believe about God’s working in our lives has an immeasurable effect on how we move ahead and, what we will experience and enjoy in the coming days
• Having a proper concept of God is going to equip you to believe that he wants to bless you. Or rather, that he has ALREADY blessed you, IN CHRIST JESUS and that you can appropriate those blessings.

Success as defined my most ‘motivational’ books fall short of the TRUE success you have been designed for!  Enjoy this message that will challenge independent success and encourage dependent success….just like Jesus modelled!

Today is a good day.  Today is the day we celebrate the New Covenant that we are under.  (*which means the old covenant is ‘obsolete’ and we are not to pay any attention to it. Heb. 8:13)  Today we also celebrate the new creations we are in Christ.  The Bible says that we have been made brand new through Christ. This is a fact, not a feeling.  When we begin out of the reality of who we really are in Christ, our lives will experience a transformation that will affect us and those around us for eternity.

Start your day today with some mind renewing truths, read them SLOWLY and carefully, there is a LOT to take in here: Continue reading →

Why is God so good…to everyone else?  Why does He seem to ignore my pain, my journey.  Why does everyone else seem to ‘hear from God’, when I cry out from my pain and don’t even get a whisper?  Why do those who think they hear from God rub it into my face, don’t they know that it sends me into a deeper spiral of despair?  Don’t they know that my heart has screamed for ‘my God my God’ and his silence has caused me to be deaf to His voice?  (that is, if He still speaks).

Today is a day to be sensitive to those crying in the darkness.  Today is a day to remember those who suffer in silence.  Today is the day to remember that ‘joy boys’ are the painful salt to any emotional wound.  Continue reading →

Did The Father Forsake Jesus On the Cross? No! (Written by Steve McVey)

For many years I taught the seven sayings of the cross and when I came to the words of Jesus, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” I used the text as evidence that the Father had turned His back on His own Son when Jesus was on the cross. “The Bible is clear that God cannot look upon sin!” I would boldly proclaim. It seemed reasonable to me that God turned away from Jesus. After all, isn’t that what Jesus said?

The answer is, “No, that is not what He said. That is what He asked. There’s a big difference between making an assertion and asking a question.” Continue reading →

Tina Turner had it all wrong when she sang, “What’s love got to do with it, got to do with it.  What’s love but a second hand emotion.” Love has ‘everything’ to do with it.  Love is what runs our world, it is the fuel of all relationships and holds all things together.

The ‘love’ of God is farther reaching than you can possibly imagine!  Think for a minute how big  or how wide it ‘could be’.  Think again, because you aren’t even close.  The writer of Ephesians writes “May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.”  Clearly there is a sense that this love cannot be contained or fully explained, which makes me want to explore a deeper study into the word love.

The early church fathers  understood that the essence of God was ‘love’ (agape).  The word Perichoresis   Continue reading →
