(KLEINISMS)
This will be the lastly post for a while
I will be off line. If you ned new post go to my blog at
http://asmokymountainhi.blogspot.com/
Leadership and love
require you to give more than you would, to receive more
than you gave.
Love simplifies the
complex in a complexing way.
Love is a process of
embracing someone’s strengths and helping them with their
weaknesses.
Injured love can
become bitterness.
Love without scars
has not been tested.
=============================================
Dads belong when they
choose to belong; when they choose not to belong, no one
fills the gap.
Time is the ink we
have to write on the hearts of those we love.
Children embrace
their parents’ weaknesses.
Children are not like
“little parents;” they are children!.
Part of a parent’s
job is to introduce their children to themselves.
=====================================
|
Trials
are
the
fuel
of
both
good
and
evil.
Time
heals
the
hurts
but
some
scars
remain
throughout
life.
Learn
to
decorate
your
scars,
rather
than
morn
them.
Love
blurs
the
pain
from
your
hurts.
Being
a
Christian
makes
you
“rapture
ready.”
Take
your
hands
off
what
you
have
given,
but
leave
your
heart.
|
|
=========================================
If you have not done
it in love, it can’t be right!
Being correct and
explaining it correctly, requires different skills.
Avoid being right in
the wrong way.
It is your life
message on the first mile that brings understanding to the
second mile.
Religion is a belief
system and Christianity is a life system.
------------------------------------------------
You don’t have to be
ignorant to be wrong.
You don’t have to be
brilliant to be right.
You have to love
yourself to love others but others should not notice it.
The well loved, love
well!
If you have words for
your joy, you have very little of it!
=============================
Pray for patience to
show up at the right time.
Being quick to
forgive nurtures patience.
Ponder good; give no
moments to evil.
God created everything, including
atheists and doubters but He gives us all the choice to be
right or wrong.
Doubts and fears grow
in the shadows of every atheist’s heart.
--------------------------------------------------------
Giving means I gave more
than I wanted.
Loving someone is a
difficult, hard, and a wonderful
choice.
Learn to discover your
wrongs before others do!
Patience is prepared right
on the spot.
Patience is the salve for an
anxiety attack
Forgiving intolerable
people makes them more
tolerable.
Never judge others based
on what nature has done for them
or to them; but consider them on
the basis of what they have done
for you or for others.
Love is letting someone
know that you cherish them.
Giving is a way of being
thankful for what you have.
Until you have suffered loss you
fail to understand gain.
If you have not done it in love, it
can’t be right!
Being correct and explaining it
correctly, requires different
skills.
Avoid being right in the wrong way.
It is your
attitude on the first mile that
brings meaning to going the second
mile.
Religion is a belief system and
Christianity is a life system
When you forgive a
wrong and love your enemy, then Christianity is validated.
Forgiving yourself is
the only way you can validate God’s forgiveness of you!
Forgiving yourself is
the beginning of the power to forgive another.
True forgiveness
resides in your heart, your mind, and your actions.
Forgiveness is a faith
issue, as well as, a choice.
================================
Loving someone is as
unique as it is rewarding.
Learning patience is
difficult to tolerate.
It is wrong to keep
accounts of wrongs.
Love does what it
should even, when it doesn't feel like it.
Grace allows you to
love the unlovable, so they learn to love their unlovables.
=========================================================
The success in others
is cause for celebration.
Be first to “Do unto other as you want them to do unto you,” so
they can learn how to treat you.!
Peace is snuggling up
to happiness.
Don’t make outlaws of
your in-laws.
Are you in good enough
condition to give unconditional love…or receive it?
================================================
The more lies
you tell the less
truth you keep.
There are no
“honorable lies”.
Being alone
is a choice, so is being lonely.
Excuses are a
blend of lies and failure.
Loving your
enemies could cause them to hate their hate.
Too many
"truths" are contaminated with opinions.
|
=========================================
A $100 bill, talking to a $1
bill. $100 bill said "I have been
everwhere!"
The $1 bill said"I
just go to Church." $ 100 dollar responded.
"Church? What's Church?"
============================================
A politician or a
person who has not changed some of his/her opinion s has not
grown at all, in anyway!
Stubbornness and
stupidity are both sure they are always right.
Promised love is good
but delivered love must be better.
Deceiving others leads
to deceiving yourself.
When you believe a lie
you not only become useless but also you become dangerous.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You were not designed to have full hearts and empty
heads.
Excellence is the cultivating Devine leadership in to
our present day lives.
God provides us the insight to be grateful
Imagination is the
result of the connection between soul and spirit..
Creativity is imagination in work clothes.
=========================================
A
hardened
heart
is full
of fear.
Peace is
the
fruit of
Grace
covering
your
circumstances.
Without
Jesus
you have
no
worthy
reputation.
Thought
is the
processing
of
knowledge;
wisdom
is the
inclusion
of God.
Failure
to have
in love
heart,
causes
life
failure.
Remember
that
Jesus
not only
saves
you He
said
“Come an
follow
me”
========================================
Faith binds principle
and shelters it in grasp of commitment.
Loving someone is
success, being loved back is divine.
Some of my best
sermons came because someone bumped up against one of my
weaknesses.
My weaknesses remind
me how strong God is.
Robbing the peace of
another is up for Divine retribution.
============================================
A family, ultimately,
must choose to be one!
Do not be so focused that you lose those who surround you.
Failure bring a frown and success a grin
Commitment is the fuel
you burn when everything else is gone.
I believe and I
try to do; I commit and I will do.
==========================
Without Jesus there is
no redemption.
The failure to love is
the ultimate failure in life.
Without love, you
missed living.
In order to find
yourself you need to look upward not inward.
Never settle for what appears to be love, only for what is love.
=================================
It takes Grace for you to forgive and humility
for you to receive forgiveness.
If you deserved forgiveness
you did not need it.
To receive forgiveness is the hope of many but
the precious possession of the Christian.
After you are taught you must
learn.
If you don’t like yourself neither will
others.
------------------------------------------------
Selfishness is when
you allow your importance to overcome value.
For marriage to
prosper it must be driven by radical love.
Heaven is the home of
those have received righteousness, not for the worthy.
When you are amazed
remember God is not.
To forgive is a
blessing to receive forgiveness is a miracle.
====================================
Weather never effects
truth, faith or direction.
Hope disrupts despair.
Hope gives direction
to all healing but it is love that heals all wounds.
It is not that you
have a soul that empowers you but your power is that you are a
soul.
Hope is the demise of
discouragement.
-----------------------------------------
Doing good is always
right.
Don’t fear your competition’s
successes; fear your complacency.
Your reputation is often in the hands of your enemies but
your character is yours alone.
Your failures revel your character
more than your successes.
A self-sufficient man is a lonely man.
================================================
Growth will not
happen without change.
Love must exceed expectation.
Parental love cannot be outsourced.
Leadership is causing others to do
more than they want to do.
If you are without hope you are in the
wrong place!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thankfulness is
the hard currency of love.
Thankfulness is a journey from
gratitude to understanding.
Whenever you are thankful, others
are blessed as well.
Thankfulness runs from the first
prayer through the last answer.
Being thankful for what you have
is normal; being thankful for what others have is insight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Practice creative
thankfulness today.
Understated you need
to be thankful for has not happened as much as what has.
Be thankful by Faith
it clears the way for the future.
Whenever you are
thankful you are preparing your own blessings.
Learn to be thankful
for whatever you could, would, and should, be thankful.
For a Christian, every
day is a day of Thanksgiving!
=================================
Part of the reason
Jesus went to the cross was His faith in you.
Listen to my works to
hear what I believe.
You can find the
worth of a man in his grandchildren.
Faith brings
obedience to what I believe.
Service is distilled
love.
---------------------------------------
Living truth is one
way I love God.
Whatever you have not
given to God is worthy of your fear.
Grace does not give
you what you want but what God wants.
To know what I
believe watch what I do!
Integrity is the
fruit of Faith
============================
Living truth is one way I love God.
Whatever you have not given to God
is worthy of your fear.
Grace does not give you what you
want but what God wants.
To know what I believe watch what I
do!
Integrity is the fruit of Faith
Whatever your goal, no matter how
pure, first must be filtered through
your attitude.
Your attitude provides the
atmosphere that others about must
breathe.
Character is a choice you make,
overriding feelings and attitudes.
Humility is presenting God with a
proper attitude.
Faith allows me to live alive.
A Christian must move away from God
to have a bad attitude.
It is not always convenient to do
right.
You do not have to want to do right
to do right.
You are the first victim of a bad
attitude.
Your attitudes expresses your
character.
Is the purpose of your argument to
be right or to unite?
Right is too often dressed by us for
us.
God is right; you could be right.
Grace is what gives man an
opportunity to be a real man.
You can be respectfully right; you
cannot be respectfully wrong.
I can disagree with you and be wrong
but you cannot disagree with right
and be right.
A
father’s treasure is the blessings of
his children.
A Christian
always strives to do as “He” pleases.
Men don’t make good women, so stop
trying to change them.
Women should not think like men, so
don’t expect them to.
Feelings
direct too much of our behaviors.
You must be willing for God to
complete you.
Only God can make you greater than
yourself!
What you can see through God’s eyes
you could never have seen alone.
Whenever you fail to love, someone
feels the pain.
You cannot escape God but you can
refuse to enjoy Him.
Love someone else to better
yourself.
Life has its burdens but prayer is
your packhorse.
The miracles that are occurring
around you often go unnoticed.
Even if you are in a valley, you are
never alone.
Divide by prayer and conquer with
love.
Vision is the ability to understand
what you are seeing.
Doing life your way is hurtful,
painful, and deadly.
Rhyme without reason is ridiculous.
Whenever you wink at sin, someone is
hurt.
May the results of your life feed
those who will follow it.
Without God, you can never be
yourself!
Introspection is a marriage of your
own making.
You must know God to know yourself.
The unbelievers
are constantly struggling to find
out what Christians already know.
There is no reality without Faith.
Discovering the meaning of truth
without God is impossible.
Living a truth causes that truth to
shine.
The “Pearl of Great Price” cannot be
found after death.
Loving your neighbor as yourself,
may require help from God.
To love your neighbor more than
yourself, means, you have to love
God more than your neighbor.
Peace is joy set free by faith.
Faith is the foundation of peace.
Without faith there is no peace of
any meaningful degree. Peace is not
dependent on the circumstances of
life and totally dependent on the
circumstances of your soul.
Dirt plus the Breath of God equals a
soul.
Life is a string of possibilities
that require choices from you.
Fear becomes a stoplight for your
prayers of faith.
To do
or not to do is the question; to be
or not to be, is your answer.
Repentance and faith brings
guaranteed forgiveness.
The cost of a broken promise is an
eternal bill.
Never
hunt for love; be found instead
around its campfire.
Forgiveness only mitigates guilt,
not consequences.
Doubting God is a sign of weakness.
There is no cure for a broken
promise; only new promises bring
possibilities.
Whatever you exchanged for God was a
bad deal.
Silence has a way of reaching into
your soul.
Be careful of what you care for.
It is easier to develop good habits
than it is to break bad ones.
A flicker of hope beams brighter
light than a bonfire from evil.
Doing good for our enemies puzzles
them.
Demons dress better these days but
cause the same torment.
Satan cannot destroy faith; only you
an dismantle it.
Contentment is the marriage of peace
with love.
Sow, hope, reap happiness.
Purpose is the uranium of
Spiritual power.
Seek God’s purpose to
find your purpose.
How far are you willing
to live from truth? That is how
far you are from God.
Christian are never
helpless.
Fear causes you to focus
on the wrong things.
Bitterness lacks forgiveness.
A redeemed heart is better than a
good heart.
A redeemed heart has to become a
good heart.
Legalism is spiritual bondage.
Criticism paralyzes possibilities.
Blessings to Billy Graham, Mark
Capps, and my son all special
birthdays today!
The presence of God never flees you.
Christians are the ambassadors of
happiness.
Lord, fill me with your presence so
emptiness never plagues me.
It is hard to be successfully
humble.
Christians should always be prepared
to be thankful.
What is on your mind becomes the
lead dog.
Think God’s way and live God’s way
to become godly.
One of the most difficult things for
an atheist to do is to think without
faith.
Light absorbs darkness, so darkness
flees light.
The more you love others the more
valuable you become.
Integrity is the cement of honesty.
Learn to speak compassion fluently.
Learn to pray fervently for the
hurts of others.
Learn to understand what is worth
learning.
Find out what is true about God; it
is worth knowing.
Friends are more precious
than gold.
Your body enjoys the health
of your Spirit.
Purposeful love is the only
meaningful love!
The difference between old
and new is experience.
Every freedom must be
disciplined to remain free.
The more we try to protect
ourselves, the more vulnerable we
become.
It is not how good you are; it is
how good God is!
Crippling fear or overcoming
faith…your choice.
Fear shackles faith.
Faith without hope is just
imagination.
Whatever you have, burdens
your life.
Whatever you give is yours
forever.
The fear of being hurt cause
more pain than it cures.
God does have time for you
today.
Live fully; God has your
back.
To do is to choose to
do!
To give is to choose
to give.
To love is a commanded
choice.
Loving is choosing to
give.
Charity is a giving
choice, wrapped in love.
This is the last
regular SMH for three weeks. Vacation again!!
==================================
Demand expectations of
your hopes.
Faith without
expectation is the chaff of hope.
To receive more than
you deserve, give more than you would.
Carefulness or
carelessness neither describe Faith.
The language of my
life describes the meaning of my commitments.
------------------------------------------------
Sometimes I forget to
remember what I forgot.
Enduring living is a
waste of life.
Celebrate what you
have or you will lose it too!
Love gives more than
it receives but always receives more than it has given.
It is your influence
on others that seems to influence you.
--------------------------------------------------------
Fear is doubt turned
inside out.
If you forget your
principles you have lost my way.
To wonder in darkness
one must walk away from the light!
Worry is the ultimate time thief.
Worry is an exercise
in faithlessness.
Today is my favorite oldest granddaughter's birthday ..
She is such a special blessing! .....Happy birthday all year
long!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Love filters doubt out
of hope!
Too many people line
up for a splash of Grace, too few plunge in.
Showers of blessing
brings in floods of Grace.
Don’t just be thankful
for what you know God has done for you;-
but leave a
special place in your heart for what you do not yet know
what God has
done for you!
Change may be
perpetual but acceptance is usually limited.
Thinking you are right
does not make you right.
----------------------------------------------------
As a Christian fear is
obsolete.
Speak carefully
remember carefully.
Speak lovingly
remember lovingly.
No one can perjure
truth.
The cost of a friend
is twice as much love.
===========================
Are you living just at
the very edge of His grace or in the middle?
Obedient Christians
have no special; direction they just do
what other Christians
know they should be doing.
God is never caught
off guard…it is impossible!
I really am thankful
God is in charge not someone else.
The Father of Love is
always very near.
----------------------------------------------------
Learning to manage
yourself is much more difficult than learning to manage others.
Your faith in others
often increase your faith in yourself.
Faith in God relieves
you of the difficulties that come with too much faith in others.
Bitterness will poison
every corner of your life.
Bitter people do
hateful things and think they are justified in doing so!
Bitterness is
incapacitated by love.
-------------------------------------------------------
Faith secures your
hold on the possibilities you posses in Jesus Christ.
Birthdays are for
celebration the goodness of God in your life.
Today, I begin my
seventh decade.
If you are fixated on
hope you life will pulsate with possibilities.
Heredity is something
you can do little about but heritage is yours to leave.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Saying difficult
things in a kind way is difficult; requiring more praying than
saying.
Hope is the tithe of
faith.
Bitterness makes you
mean, meanness makes you lonely and loneliness makes you angry,
only God can set you free.
Having to much is not the problem keeping too much is a problem.
Do you treasure people or measure people?
A mentor is mentored
by his mentoring.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Grace is gentility
aggressively and lovingly thorough.
What you own owns you.
Whatever you give
serves you.
We become, as we invest.
Promote what is good
in others but demand what is best in yourself.
In life learn to
demand less and give more
------------------------------------------------
Blessing continue even
when you are hurting and pain seems to be your only friend.
The better view you have of God the easier it is to recognize
blessings.
You will never
have all you want until you give all you can.
Hope travels at the speed of righteousness.
Whatever I
thought I earned, is really a gift from God.
Having been shown mercy, thankfulness should be come
naturally.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being thankful is a result of being
thankful.
Blood is the currency of freedom
both politically and spiritually.
You can never be fully thankful
until you consider what Jesus saved
you from.
Hope rings louder than despair.
Put your blessing on the
refrigerator and your failure in the
waste can.
Good seems useless when you are
hurting...but it is not.
Bitterness will erode
thankfulness.
A Christian has no choice but to
be eternally thankful.
Prayer
is asking God and increasing
your thankfulness.
Thanking God is the beginning of
all other thankfulness.
Consider how long you have to
thank others in your life.
Grace will only heal what you allow
it to heal.
To love God is one thing; to act
accordingly is quite another!
Faith is more as choice than it is
an experience.
You can be committed to evil as well
as good.
What terror it is to live without
Faith.
Jesus
did not come for arbitration;
but
to provide salvation to the whole
world.
God has determined your
value; never allow the past or
others to over- rule His love for
you.
Evaluating your perceptions;
often to keep on the right course.
The world never rewards like
God will.
Love must be negotiated but
never compromised.
Life is not about you, but
Jesus in you!
A tragedy crossed our lives and those
lives that Jason Seal touched on his short journey through this
world.
Jason stepped into Heaven last night
and the left a huge bottomless hole in the hearts and in the
lives of his loved ones.
While knowing he is in Heaven offers
long term hope, it leaves little short term comfort.
How to you comfort the short journey
of a son, brother, and a twin brother in such a tragic way?
All we can do is pray and offer a hug,
for words will do little to ease the burden that J.R. Susan Josh
and Trey bear.
So we pray in their behalf and trust
the Father to do what we cannot.
--------------------------------------------------
To love God is one
thing; to act accordingly is quite another!
Faith is more a choice
than it is an experience.
You can be committed
to evil as well as good.
What terror it is to
live without Faith.
Jesus did not come for
arbitration; but to provide salvation to the whole world.
-------------------------------------------------------------
God has determined
your value; never allow the past or others to over- rule His
love for you.
Evaluate your
perceptions often, to keep on the right course.
The world never
rewards like God will.
Love must be
negotiated but never compromised.
Life is not about you,
but Jesus in you!
----------------------------------------------------
Commitment the fuel
for the long haul.
Without commitment you tend to refuel at
Satan’s gas station.
Your parents’ love
bears no comparison to God’s love for you.
Commitment is fear
under Divine management.
Everyone is committed,
the question is to what or to whom are you committed
------------------------------------------------
Your
influences are seen before heard.
Never allow the sins
of the past to exceed the Grace of the present.
Your value is not
determined by what you have accomplished, but by the price Jesus
paid for you on the cross.
Commitment is
believing God, stubbornness is when you believe in something
else.!
Commitment feeds love
to you while you are in the desert.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Is you goal a Faith
goal or a safe goal?
It is one thing to
look old,,. it is another to act old.
You may have a disease
but God has you!
Accomplishment is
faith with its work shoes on!
Until you have you
haven’t….Start now!
Prayers beat prognosis
every time!
-----------------------------------------------
Management needs to be
replaced by leadership.
Leadership is more
about being where to go, than being in charge.
Hope endures to see
what Faith has known!
Often success floats
on a sea of failure.
Until you are
endangered, you are not likely to grow!
------------------------------------------------------------
A “sad moment” is when
you first realize who God is, and who you are!
A “glad moment” is
when you realized first, what has God has done for you
that you did not know
needed to be done.
Time is the fuel of
living; get the best mileage possible!
I will tell you what I
believe, but I will only do what I believe.
Effort is not about
results but about growing stronger in what I believe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can only outlive a
moment is if God is in that moment!
You do not go to
church because you are perfect; you go because you are not!
No change - no growth!
Business is a part of
your life but living is the task of life.
Too often our petty
differences become obstacles.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Whatever we leave
behind, should be what has been invested in others.
The choice is clear,
to be a Christian, or to be mercifully useless.
The more you love, the
less you stress.
The only way your life
can be insignificant, is for you to be self-centered.
If all your company
has done is provide a job, the company is a failure.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Failure is a lack of
perseverance, not of lack of accomplishment.
Success means you have
overcome lots of failures.
Opportunity overcomes
busy hands.
Truth is not the product of opinion.
Never allow business
to replace your life.
---------------------------------------------------
The boundaries of
marriage are also the boundaries of your character.
One’s spiritual
character revolves around one’s principles.
Marriage is an
agreement that has become a commitment.
Joy is the flower of
obedience.
The boundaries of
marriage should bring you both comfort.
Whenever you are
trying to measure up, measure inside first!
---------------------------------------------------------
Every blessing is a
gift from someone’s prayers.
You are hopeless
without God.
Your hopes in Christ
are limitless.
As a Christian, the
world tends to see your life as Christ’s. How are you measuring
up?
When you learn to be
thankful for the desert sands, then you begin to hear the
abundant rains coming your way.
Whenever you are
trying to measure up, measure inside first!
-------------------------------------------------------
When your fears
overtake your faith, you lose.
A faithful Christian
can become what an unfaithful one can never be!
Wherever my loves are,
so is my compassion.
Eternal life begins at
salvation and it should allow death to find you in His service.
Learn to ask above
your faith and deep into your hopes!
Faith has little to do
with feeling and a lot to do with commitment!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being good is a
choice, being better requires effort, being best is a spiritual
journey.
The depth of God’s love for you is impossible to fathom, and its
heights have no boundaries.
Better for a few to
believe too much, than for the many to believe too little.
Faith is an
investment, fear is a debt.
The hand of the
believer will do good works.
---------------------------------------------------
I always pay more for my stubbornness that I do for my
ignorance.
May we learn to consecrate less on the
possibility of losing God’s presence
and more on enjoying His presence.
Never allow the joy of your success to exceed your joy of
being a Christian.
You can fail and still be a Christian,
but you can succeed and never know God
…which means you have completely failed
in this life.
Am I laying up treasures in Heaven to get there, or to enjoy
when I do?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
Secrete
sins
have
open
consequences.
Whenever
I
turn
from
God,
the
shadow
of
darkness
is
overwhelming.
The
are
no
inconsequential
sins,
just
as
there
are
no
inconsequential
acts
of
righteousness
.
Live
in a
way
that
ought
to
be
remembered,
not
in a
way
that
ought
to
be
forgotten.
Stewing
sin
can
become
tasty;
it
is a
acquired
taste.
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fear blinds Faith, but Faith
brings vision to the blind.
Fear limits your willingness to
do God’s will, while faith increases it greatly.
Learn to do what you should,
rather than doing what you can.
Your choice to do good is alive
until you die!
You never fail alone; someone
always fall with you.
--------------------------------------------------------
Counting only, nickels and noses, causes many churches
closures.
God really will not care if we deviate just a bit from what
we know He wants….the correct answer is FALSE!
Pray before the storm so you will be prepared in the storm.
A lot of folks do not want God’s help, they just want Him to
stay out of the way…..He won’t!
Panic is not picnic for those in panic.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Bad consequences never
feel good...never!
Good consequences
always feel good …always!
Whenever you reject
God’s way; darkness shields the approach of sin.
Bitterness is the
fruit of anger.
Obedience throws light
into the midst of darkness.
-------------------------------------------------
Just as you
cannot escape God’s wrath as an unbeliever; you cannot escape
His love as a believer.
You can save yourself and those
around you a lot of pain, by doing it God’s way first.
Whenever I say no to God, trouble
is on the way.
Whenever I say yes to God, a
blessing is born.
How often do we know God is right,
but still choose to do it our way?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Love and forgive, even
and especially, when it is not returned.
God blesses the
faithful in ways the unfaithful can never understand.
What must God do to
keep us to our commitments?
Who does God report
to?
Forgiveness is for the
asking and pain is for not asking.
------------------------------------------------
You tend to receive
what you believe.
What you have received increases
your faith.
For Christians, fear
is quite unnecessary.
A Christian can stand
on “wet wood” because the fire comes from above to what is
below.
Prayer is the proper
cure for anxiety.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Power is
undeserved
control over others.
An employer considers if you will benefit him, before he
considers if he will benefit you.
Worry never solves
your problem but it will mess up and peace you might have had.
Obedience is the
mortar of Faith.
Whatever you worship
alters your life.
What you believe is what you
do.
----------------------------------------------------
May I be less
remembered for my history, and more remembered for my mercy.
May your passion
exceed your adversity!
A good church is more
than nickels and noses; it is disciplining.
It takes passion for
your Faith to get other’s attention.
If the fire of the
Holy Spirit falls on a church; the town will gather to watch the
fire!
---------------------------------------------------------
Prayer is one way of
surrendering to God’s persistence.
It is not what you
gain in life; it is what you receive for Him, that counts.
Prayers are glasses
for the soul.
God wants to give you
more than sin will allow
Prayer is to a
Christian, as vision is, to the physical life.
----------------------------------------------------------
If you are not called,
you are not listening!
Better to overachieve
for God, and underachieve for Satan.
Moving closer to God
will not make you more fanatical; it will make you more loving.
When you agree with
Him, He will answer your prayers.
God hates sin because
it keeps Him from doing more for you!
------------------------------------------------------
There is no song you
can sing, nor any prayer you can offer
that will truly
express, the love Jesus has for you.
Sacrifice is giving
more than you want, for someone you should!
The more you allow God
to guide you, the more sure you are of success.
Doubt is your unbelief
crawling out again.
Another’s disgrace
should bring you no happiness.
------------------------------------------------
Is there Hope??? Yes
there is!!
Old hope paves the way to new
hope.
Hope never fails until you run
out of it.
Hope is generated out of
exercised Faith, known history, and answered prayers.
What I believe is faith, what I
do is charity, and what I expect - is hope.
God often fails our time
schedule, but never His!
Evil could triumph if not were
not for the hope of Good.
Hope sends light into the
darkness and chases evil into hiding.
Faith and Hope are identical
twins from the same Father, with different personalities.
Faith is the foundation and
Hope is the tower - being built.
Doubt is uncommitted Faith.
Evil is as real as the sins in
your neighbor’s life, …yours, as well!
It there were no evil
there would be no judges, nor jails.
Adam was locked out of
the Garden of Eden for the same reason we put locks on our
doors…..evil!
Pray not to understand
evil, but pray to understand good.
Surround yourself with
good, and evil will take its own flight.
Pray for the wisdom to
discern good and your life will be filled with it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Time moves lives whether you are ready or not.
The best way to remember your blessings
is to give some away.
If you help make a change in one life, you chance that
life’s affect every life it touches.
Stand in praise, and bow in humility,
both are necessary, and both are welcome.
Is the Bright and Morning Star shining in your heart today?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Better your testimony
hinder your patriotism; than your patriotism hinder your
testimony.
It is best is to be in
balance in both.
Satan likes to bring
by a doubter in the middle of your faith walk.
Grace is the power of
the Holy Spirit to make saints out of sinners.
Is your church
familiar with seeing and hearing from you?
The trouble with
trouble is it is troubling!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Delighting in God:
Christians are drawn to God by His
great love and serve Him, because we love Him.
Most religions fear their god and serve
out of obligation, not love.
Only Christians are able to delight in
their God, rather than grudgingly carrying out His mandates.
While Christians take their relationship
with God seriously, we do so with love.
Avoiding hell is wonderful but gaining
Heaven is sublime.
God brings us much more potential for
happiness than He allows for sorry.
Christians worship with a smile on
their hearts, not heaviness.
Being a Christian is participation in Joy,
indescribable and to be full of spiritual giggles.
The tears of a Christian are “bottled up”
by the Father, to be explained in Heaven.
While Christians are offered sadness by
the world around them, they have a secret hope that passes all
the trials of this world.
Even in the midst of misery, there
is a special contentment for the Christian.
Jesus shares our heartbreaks and fills the
voids that sorrows leave in our life, with His love.
Peace is facing contention with faith.
Christians are not angry with the other
religions of the world, even though they appear to be with
Christians.
Spending time with Jesus will put
a smile on your heart.
As Christians, you have joy unspeakable;
you need to try to tell other about that joy.
Christianity teaches us how to love good
and hate evil, and to do good and avoid evil.
Holiness is a process of shedding that
which is not.
The Holy Spirit teaches us to love the
Father, through the Son.
Christians treasure God, rather than
endure Him.
The more love I have, the less pain
defines me.
After I pray, I go out to do good to those
who share my faith and to those who do not!
Salvation is when we recognize His love
is greater than our sins and we repent and accept His love.
Sanctification is determining His love
is our fuel to a blessed life.
Delighting in purity is a choice, just as
sin is.
Sanctification is a pursuit of God’s love
to be applied in every choice we make.
You can be pure and be imperfect at the
same time.
The worst failure is the failure to
repent, when you have done wrong.
Christian can have sadness and peace at
the same time.
“Happiness will overtake the righteous,”
and that is true delight!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Joy of Jesus often
breaks out into happiness.
Is your church known
for its faith, or for its foolish ideas?
Are you known for
being an American, more than being known as a Christian?
I am thankful to be an American, and grateful for becoming a
Christian.
I was born an American
and reborn a Christian.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Faith is not natural; it is supernatural.
Faith requires vision, and vision
requires faith.
Faith grows in the valleys and shines on the mountain tops.
To live by faith, it requires a
relationship with Jesus Christ.
Hope grows by faith, nourished in Love.
--------------------------------------------------
God Awareness:
Everyday I explore the Hand of
God, in which I reside.
It is better to be aware of His
presence, than to be surprised to be there.
Every moment is a “God moment!”
When you are unaware of God,
then that part of you is not living.
Life is in the Vine; if you are
doing something “off Vine “ you are in deep trouble!
I walked in the damp grass this
early morning and He was with me
before I noticed He was there.
Peace is knowing He is present.
I saw a leaf this morning and
it reminded me He has already counted it.
Wherever I go He is, has been,
and will be!
His presence is the Christian’s
ultimate present.
Once you know Him, He is never
unknown again.
If you take a step back from
God, He takes a step closer to you.
Your forgiveness brings His
presence, which is your reward.
A Christian can never be
“nowhere,” ever again.
His great Heart is spinning
love towards you, every moment, of every minute,
of every hour, of every day,
throughout your life!
His presence is like none
other!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whatever I have not
prayed for, is in danger!
Do a kindness to someone who cannot return the favor.
Guilt and shame do nothing to help build your faith; forgiveness
will.
How adequate are you
allowing the Blood of Jesus to be in your life?
Faith makes God a
treasured possession.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Thoughts on the Holy
Spirit;
Paul, proclaimed he died daily
to himself and needed to be filled everyday afresh with the Holy
Spirit.
One must have repented and
believed before he can access the Fullness of the Holy Spirit in
his life.’
The Holy spirit is the one who
leads us into all truth.
The Holy Spirit is the blood
that flows though the Christian’s life to empower his service
and prayers.
Being filled with the Holy
Spirit is a choice just like salvation, but one that must be
chosen again each day.
To become a disciple requires
the full presence of the Holy Spirit.
The difference between a baby
Christian and a mature Christian is the willing to be lead by
the Holy Spirit.
General William Booth, the
founder of the Salivation Army, said to his son,
Bramwell Booth, I give you the
greater task, that is, to make disciples out of our converts."
Discipleship is a process of
being saturated in the Holy Spirit.
Holiness is as holiness does.
You cannot live a victorious
life without the continuing awareness of the presence of the
Holy Spirit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is when you know you are control of your life that you’re
most dangerous.
If God has called you, then it He who
is at risk.
What are you doing today that will require God’s attention?
God gives even when you hold back.
Jesus knows what it is like to be really hungry, do you?
--------------------------------------------------------
The Mark of Maturity:
Maturity is understanding the
direction God has planned with a positive attitude.
Internal growth is the most difficult phase of maturity.
Stretching your faith strengthens you faith.
Faith is a key ingredient in maturity.
Weak faith sees dangers at every turn; strong faith sees God’s
sufficiency at every turn.
Moderation is a positive form of maturity.
Demanding is the harsh side of immaturity.
Most bad choices are decisions not to control your weaknesses.
Maturity causes you to choose joy over happiness.
Making youthful mistakes in old age is still unwise.
Making wise choices in your youth saves you a great accumulation
of pain.
An old fool is a good example of the development of a young
fool.
Season youth with maturity for balance, and sparkle your old age
with a dash of youth.
Doing right often requires more effort, but the rewards leave no
tragedy.
Spiritual maturity is learning to focus on the prize.
Everyone wants to be right, when they are doing wrong!
You can never earn the right to do wrong.
Ignorance only explains bad behavior once.
Maturity means God’s presence makes good sense.
A step in the right direction is a step away from sin.
“Jesus loves me; this I know,” makes more sense to our youth,
than thousands of the rock songs that are designed to rock their
faith!
Maturity may not keep you from failure; but it will help you to
recognize it!
Your friendship circle, represents your greatest threat to do
either good or evil!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The further you are
from God, the more sense lies make.
Trivia is overtaking
knowledge at a rapid rate.
Forcing
yourself to do what is right is called self-discipline.
Friends are people who
have chosen not to be your enemies.
Doing right frustrates
those doing wrong!
--------------------------------------------------
How do you show your
love of the brothers and sisters in your church?
Are they getting the
message that you love them?
Jesus said "They will
know you are a Christian because you love the brethren"!
How many brethren will testify as to your love for them?
Get busy loving those
folks; who you will be spending eternity with…Today!
-------------------------------------------------------------
You do not earn your
salvation, but you must earn your own rewards for Heaven!
Whatever I have given,
can never be taken away.
Men earn their
loneliness by rejecting friendships.
Friendships require much more effort than acquaintances.
If you are not
friendly, few people will cross your boundaries.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You don’t earn your
gift; but you do its usefulness.
A dedicated talent is
your gift. to the Giver.
For me to be always
right, the rest of the world, would have to be mostly wrong.
Only the Christians
get to play the game of life; the rest are playing the game of
death.
Doing better than you
have, should be your only yardstick
-------------------------------------------------------------
|
Your mess, is your test, of your
message.
How
you react to your mess, is how others will
perceive your testimony.
We
all make messes; few turn their messes into
the right message.
Clean
up your life; do not leave your messes in
someone else’s life!
Fulfillment comes from doing what is right;
you will never get fulfilled by doing
something wrong!... No Never!
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You learn from
leadership but not from dictatorship.
A brother is someone
who loves you like you are but won’t let you stay that way.
People will listen to
wisdom but resist demand with everything within them.
The sinners best hope
is a good friend with a right heart.
If you loved me you
would do it,… a selfish friend demands!. ….If you loved me, you
would not ask me to do it. .answers a true friend!
May your friends be as
persistent for you good; as your enemies are for your
destruction.
A good friend hangs
on, when others let go!
Wisdom helps you know
which of your friends has an evil heart.
Good is the core of
wisdom, while evil is the center of foolishness.
Fun is only fun if it
brings happiness to the lives of others.
Happiness is a
bi-product of being in the Will of God.
Satan’s job is to make
you smile, while he is making you unhappy
Jesus came to make you
smile regardless of what is happening.
A friend who causes
you to do right; causes the best in you.
A real friend is more
concerned for your welfare than he is in keeping your
friendship.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Value
is
contributing
to
someone

Prejudice
is

All

--------------------------------------------------------------------
It
is impossibly difficult, to be perfect, but purity is within
your grasp.
As you more toward the Heart of God, the impurities are
discarded.
The Heart of God warms your soul, to embrace what is right and
pure.
The joy of finding yourself choosing to seek right, think right,
and ultimately to do
right is personally, delicious.
The proximity of God in your life, distances the proximity of
evil.
Forgiveness is the beginning of a pure heart.
Even a good heart needs to be pure.
The purer your heart the purer your faith.
He closer you are to Jesus, the more you believe, He can do what
He says He will do!
A pure heart brings fresh hope.
The further I move from Christ, the more hope-less my situation
becomes!
Contentment is a virtue of a pure heart.
The faith to more on; comes from faith in the beyond.
What we cannot control, controls us.
God is in charge of everything or Satan is reaching his dirty
hand into your soul.
What you believe you will receive!
You grow when you are out of doubt.
------------------------------------------------------------
Discontent is the bait
of temptation.
The biggest looser is
the keeper!
Prayer is a shared
journey with God.
Live so you never have
to fear what you are leaving behind.
The greatest gift has
already been given!
------------------------------------------
You are to prepare; to
be prepared.
Loving your enemy is
not easy for you or the enemy.
Prejudice is willing
ignorance.
Whatever you allow,
you will soon demand!
Control is the greed
of marriage.
------------------------------------------
Whatever I did without
Jesus will haunt me in the future.
Admiration is
appreciation but love is Divine.
Is Jesus your GPS?
For Christians there
is only, "the shadow of death".
The character of God seeks you; while he character of
man is to resist God.
------------------------------------------------------------
Christianity is not,
“God, I’ll get back to you later “ relationship!
Imagination is the
advent of possibilities.
Feeling are altered by
what you do and what you are thinking.
You cannot buy your
way to God , He has already paid for you!
The more I know; the
more I don’t know!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Gratitude
brings attitude.
If you like your life
keep doing what you doing; if you want change then remember
Faith + Faith = Change.
All good change comes
for the Lord.
Knowing better is
rarely the final factor in doing better.
Each brother and
sister has a gift, that the church needs to help them dream to
reality.
Discipline requires
determination to succeed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thinking
about
good
will
fill
your
life;
full up.
Thinking
about
evil
will
fill
your
life, as
well if,
you
allow
it.
The
weight
of this
world
will not
move you
unless
you are
in the
wrong
place.
Thoughts
are your
windows
into you
spiritual
growth;
what are
you
thinking
about?
Christian
must use
spiritual
wisdom
to
determine
between
listening
and
gossip.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
If you look back and
don’t see Jesus; you have failed the test of an abundant life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Understanding is
realizing how a truth has been applied to someone else’s life.
Becoming a disciple is
more meaningful, to your influence, in this world.
Grace brings joy to
discipleship.
You lead the willing
but you must drive the unwilling. How must God treat you?
The essence of
marriage is purposeful belonging.
-----------------------------------------------------------
God is better, that I
can imagine, and I am worse than, I am willing to admit, but He
loves me,
and I am trying mind
around that fact.
In order to learn how
to love God more, it requires me to make an effort to understand
myself.
I heard a atheist
speak yesterday and she was so happy that there was nothing to
look forward to in the next life….
Am I missing something
here?
God’s love endures
forever, because there is a forever!
Jesus said. “I go to
the Father that where I am you may be also” ….
I bet you that is
somewhere!!!
More folks should be
concerned about getting on course than competing the course.
----------------------------------------
Feel like giving up?
When giving up feel closer that
anywhere else; go somewhere else!
To a great degree your friends
mold your determination; find good ones.
It is better to be alone that
in bad company!
Of course, a Christian can
never be truly alone.
What you believe directs what
you do. So, Think right and do right!
Keep the garden of your heart
clean; weeds bear no fruit.
Temptation is a process of
feeding your weaknesses.
Forgiving yourself teaches you
how to forgive others.
Forgiveness plugs the leaks of
bitterness, which leads to despair.
---------------------------------------------------------
Pride is prejudices’
best friend.
Marriage contains the foundations of happiness on which to build
a family.
The success of
marriage provides a shelter for all involved it is pout of a
happily committed marriage that children prosper.
Patients builds
marriages, cooperation prospers marriages,
diligence to one
another seals marriages and
the Love of God
enriches and protects what neither can by themselves.
Becoming a decompile
of Jesus, requires more than just salvation.
One chooses to be a
disciple not to escape from sin, but to become Godly!.
============================================
The Old Testament
reminds us by the statement ”Why changeth thy thou ways in order
to seek love?”
Pride is one of the biggest “game changers” in life.
Pride leads more to shame than fame.
The more you love yourself the less you love others.
Pride causes the imbalance between want and desire.
Whatever you love more than God; God hates.
The child of pride is selfishness.
A Christian had much more right to thankfulness than pride.
One must hold a funeral for humility in order to crown pride.
The trouble with climbing the latter of success, is that too
often we forget, we needed to step on someone else’s shoulders
to move up.
Pride in others is more tolerable, than self-indulgence.
You can only do what you do, because of what someone else has
done.
It is only through the Grace of God that you even get another
breath.
If you are on top, look down, to see who is helping you.
It is the helping hand that is ultimately honored.
To be better than someone else is vanity; but to be better than
you were is victory!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The vision you have
for your life in not nearly as important as your relationship
with God.
The smallest idol can
bring devastation to your life.
When God is enough;
you have enough!
The more you enjoy God the more you can enjoy everything else.
Every day is consumed
with Hope; when God is enough in your life.
Today, is my best
son-in-laws birthday may it be blessed, Brian!
----------------------------------------------
The hope of the
hopeless is predictable.
Befriend your enemies;
it befuddles them!
Trade in your gift for
gab, for the gift of understanding.
Talent is a gift, that
has been attended to with diligence.
Deception, only out
performs diligence, in the short run.
A friend, is someone who accepts your faults, but won’t allow
you to!
---------------------------------------------------------------
The optimist looks at the
possibilities while the pessimist looks at the problems.
Christians have been relived of
the fear of Hell, that they see in the eyes of the unbelievers.
Whatever you fail to leave at
the Cross will eventually cause some failure in your life.
If you have not cast, all of
your burdens on Jesus, you are carrying an unnecessary load.
The evils of the day are
sufficient without carrying yesterday in to today!
The Cross is the cemetery for
all of your past sins; leave them their.
If you are not willing to
forget the past your future is very limited.
“Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you“: which means if you need someone’s
forgiveness you ought to first forgive them.
If you do not need someone’s
forgiveness you likely need more forgiveness than you know!
The past is the stain of sin
that Jesus cleansed you of in Salvation.
Salvation frees you, from the
past, to live wiser in the future.
Christians are simply
unbelievers who now believe!
Christians are those who having
been, spiritually blind, now can see.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Selfishness plus
marriage equal bitterness; and when bitterness is added to
loneliness
and combined with the
square root of rejection the total equals divorce or and hatred.
Marriage contains the
foundation of happiness; but the home it builds takes a lifetime
of sharing.
Love is sacrificing
for the good of another in marriage, each sacrifice is an
investment in each other.
The success of the
marriage provides a shelter for the family it contains./
Marriage shell that
holds the family together.
It is out of a happy
connected marriage that children prosper in their marriages.
Marriage is mutual
discipleship!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Love is a forgiving journey in
to someone else’s life for the sole purpose to enrich it.
Love is more felt, than
understood, and more needful, than can be explained.
The Love of God will never
leave you with a broken heart!
The Love of God is
righteousness in action!
Without your salvation through
Jesus Christ, such Love, will fall on ears that cannot hear and
will be in front of eyes that cannot see.
God’s Love cannot: be stretched
to thin, depended on too much, will not abandon you in times of
need nor devastated by your poor judgments
The rich Love of God only grows
and magnifies, as you recognize it, and accept it.
Devine Love is a commitment of
His character to you!
Devine personal love is
available to EVERYONE who will accept, Gods salvation through
Jesus; His only Son!
The more you love God the more
you will be able love those around your life.
True love can be dismissed but
will never leave you.
===========================================
How often have we
jumped into a fight we had no business being in---
said words, in
situations, that were not ours to say?
How often have we have
we waded in to someone’s life to
“save them from
themselves” only to find out their neither wanted or need us to
do so?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We want to more
important to others in order to mask the needs in our own lives.
Becoming a
Christian gives us greater control, not to do these things,
or to do them
when they are really needed, doing so effectively.
Selfishness limits our
usefulness to those for whom, we love and care.
I am significant, when
I believe God, and I am insecure, when I do not!
Faith verses fear is
an ongoing choice that brings us, rest or restlessness.
The fear of hope is as
paralyzing as the fear of failure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
One must realize that God is.
every moment, walking through your thoughts.
His is always with you; you
might want to make Him your friend.
His presence is in your
presence, presently, and permanently.
Nowhere becomes somewhere when
God is with you.
God is Omnipresent but you are
not Omniaware!
God walked with Adam in the
cool of the evening but He was there, with Adam, always.
Learn to purposely welcome God
into your thought life.
You can take no step without
Him; so remember you are taking every step with Him.
The good thing is the God knows
everything about you and still desperately and specifically
loves you!
If God does know everything;
then you are on His list!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Taking a break from
church is a good way to go broke.
A vacation from the
Heart of God leads to loneliness.
When you recognize
that you are beloved, it is difficult to feel lonely.
Whatever you have
covered up in this life, will soon be revealed to all.
Fear God who can cast
you into Hell, or love God who will welcome you into Heaven…
your choice!
------------------------------------------------------
The Church shares what God
could not trust to individuals.
Collectively, the Church sees
God work in a manor that a single person, alone, could never
see.
One of the Church’s purpose is
to gift one another.
Never under estimate the gift
God has given another.
God made us to be
interdependent one another in His Church.
The spiritual gift God has
given you does not make you more valuable, just more useful.
Your spiritual gifts are really
not for your benefit, but for others!
Believer working together can
accomplish much than believers who will only work alone.
Nothing can replace your
prayers, however, the prayers of others can intensify your
request of the Father!
The Bible reminds us that where
“two are agreed, the Truth is established“.
God honors the prayers of
others for you, as much as, He honors your prayers for others.
No Christian is an island unto
himself; you simply were not designed to prosper that way.
The “Bride of Christ “ is the
Church not an individual; find a church to be what you should
become.
Whenever you feel a
need to question God; first, praise Him.
Your life is your
testimony and your salutation to this life.
Remember, the church
is the “Bride of Christ;” treat it accordingly.
The “Groom” will not
take lightly, your care of it.
How will the “Groom”
feel about your treatment of His “Bride?”
----------------------------------------------------------------
Jesus always leads with the
right hand, to the right places, for the right reasons.
You can never be wrong doing right.
If you knew how to get where you are to go you would; it is
better trust the guide than the scenery!
The destination is sure; it is the helping hands to others, and
those who are to help you, that is unclear.
How you are to drive, and how you are to behave, on your journey
are Biblically clear; it is the individual paths you must travel
that are obscured.
Faith plus knowledge (the Bible) times prayer plus experiences
equal willingness.
The difference between obedience and willingness is attitude.
If you are on the right path; give no consideration to the wrong
paths
It is easier to stay on the right path than it is to get back on
it.
If you know what is good; why would you give thought to what is
not?
The Bible is your compass; Jesus is your guide.
-----------------------------------------------------------
You never have to
stand alone for truth; God will be there with you.
You don’t need to go
to church to be a Christian, but being a Christian will make
you want too!
Whenever you have to
rely only on God, you are in a good situation.
Stand by the truth
and God will stand behind you.
Whatever God wants
for you is available to you.
------------------------------------------------------
Unity is a exercise in Faith.
Two working together can do
more; than two working separately; and they have more fun doing
it.
A hand of cooperating is worth
a pound of agreement.
If there is no cooperation in
marriage; you have no marriage.
Your testimony means
considerable more in church than in isolation.
It is through the unity of the
believers that effort becomes accomplishment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your testimony brings
nourishment to a hungry heart.
Willingness without
doing, is still unwillingness.
To many churches and
Christians have become willing to become unwilling.
Doing less than your
best, will become your undoing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In any relationship
difficulty, feelings are the first thing to leave and the
last thing to come back.
Feelings are the frosting,
gravy, and chocolate toppings of life not the substance.
The movement of God is not
slowed by how you feel about what He is doing.
God moves because of your
prayers, He moves in spite of them and He is does what He
pleases.
God will be wherever you
are, will have always been, wherever you are going to be,
and always be there when you call upon Him!
Prayer makes you more aware
of God but does not make God more aware of you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you think you
are more important than others, you probably are not.
Idols hold no
treasures, God has all the treasure.
What ever you
idolize, injures your testimony.
Faith and baptism are
the first steps to a vibrant faith.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Most men only see with their
eyes but a Christian can see with his heart.
Oh Christian. “Except you be
moved with compassion how dweleth My love in thee?”
Someone else’s misery can be
your ministry.
If the pain is too great to
pray, give a compassionate hug.
When you live” praying without
ceasing’” then when your life meets the sorrows of this world
you are prepared.
Physical pain and sorrow are
light compared to the loss of a soul to Hell!
Carry your brother’s sorrow as
your own.
Never is the verse,” Bear one
another’s burdens” so true; as when you lift the burden of
sorrow from another
Compassion, lessens. the weight
of sorrow.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Grace is only one way
God drives suffering out of your life.
Waking up your love includes checking
up on your willingness to forgive!
Life is orchestrated to reveal God.
Temptations always comes with choices.
Ordinary Christians are extraordinary!
===============================================
Your success will
ultimately be measured by how many souls you enrich.
Fear will always
attack you because of your nature, resist it with Faith!
Faith always has the
potential to set you free; it always your choice to exercise
it!
God will give you the
power to say no; but it is you who must say no!
The storms of life
need not hinder your faith.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
May your life’s
discipline be less said, and more lived!
Fun is recreational
happiness.
Feeling is a result
of commitment not visa versa.
Satan will attract any
advance you make towards Jesus; count on it!
Faith is invisible
but the deeds you do can be seen by all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The interest payment
you receive, on your sacrifices in life, are eternally enormous.
Not doing wrong is
always right!
Only true believers
can really appreciate miracles.
Do you punish your
children or discipline them?
Temptations always
bring a choice.
--------------------------------------------------------------
When God does something nothing is
left undone!
The Heart of God proceeds the Hand
of God so what you receive from Him is somewhere past wonderful.
The proof of Hope is that Faith is
embolden.
What God does for me is much more
useful than what I often ask of Him.
With one Hand He buriers a loved
one; with the other Hand He comforts those who sorrow.
Not only are His blessing the best
you could have hope for, but they are immeasurable.
The further you are from the God, the lonelier it gets.
When God is all you have, you have
all there is!
Every blessing is reason for you to bless another.
It is not what you earned, but what God gives you that
counts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes is the only
proper answer to God’s requests.
Friendship, whether
earned or given, should be cherished.
What two people share
becomes a joint treasure.
Faith expects, what
it cannot believe.
Devotion is based on
trust.
What your will not, give will be taken
from you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
What God has done; will not be
undone by any amount of unbelievers.
His eyes see where you are
going, His heart knows what you want; His love gives you what
you need, and His presence protects you from the rest.
He first call for your soul,
and next to your work.
Listen and do; then ask why!
Some or most of what God asks
of you, will beyond your comprehension.
God does have something for you
to do!!!!
God has already been, and will
already be, wherever He asked you to go.
He has prepared and provided
the place for you to work at what He has called you to do.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marriage is a
commitment of character.
You are never too old or too young to
be right.
Frequent the
possibilities of Hope.
I know, because I am
known!
Human predications
are based on man’s interpretations of facts,
while God’s
predications are based on Truth
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Faith is a thorough
exploration of hope.
What I see and do by faith
exceeds anything I can see or do on my own.
Having looked at nature and
all the vast variety of His creation I find it hard to believe
that anyone could think it all just happened.
The Hand of God is
everywhere; the hands of many men have done very little.
Without Faith I can only experience human
love, without experiencing the generosity of love; I miss the
purpose of love.
However, with the addition of Faith
to human love, it becomes a blending of Divinely, generous,
love!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Learn to
trust God for what you ask Him for!
Generosity is the key to prosperity.
Prosperity is not what you have, but who you
are.
Clean the
windows of hope and your fears will fade away.
Want is
the enemy of contentment!
|
-----------------------------------------
Without commitment, love, means
little.
Marriage is held together by
love built on a foundation of commitment.
Discipline is commitment on
display.
If parents fail to discipline
their children, then children usually fail to discipline
themselves.
True love makes you do what you
should instead of what you would!
When loves is weak; it is
commitment that props it up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christianity is
complexity, simplified.
Often our weaknesses
get in the way of our hope, but not in our possibilities.
Satan is at work
whether you are doing OK or not.
I choose to do what
God has said; while I wait on Him, to do what I can’t.
The Bible teaches
that God’s actions are often based on your trust.
---------------------------------------------------------------
It is not so much of
scientists in search of Truth,
as it is Truth in
search of scientists.
It is when you see
you have no value, and then see you value in Jesus,
that you become
truly valuable.
Expectations make up
the chains of progress.
God already has
everything you will ever want or need.
Faith fathers Hope,
Hope sprouts possibilities, and Possibilities increase your
Faith.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bible is continuing
relating God’s Love and compassion to your heart.
The Bible speaks to your
mind and filters on in to your soul.
Jesus said “I am the Word”
and Jesus is alive!
The Spirit of God ,who
wrote the Bible, through the hands of man, is full everyday, of
new healing words.
It is the Bible, that gives
you the power, strength, wisdom and determination to be Godly,
when you seem completely unable.
The Bible is a love letter
to your soul.
Read to your heart, the
pages of His word, with love or hurt, joy or sadness, in
sickness or in health
or while experiencing feast
or famine. Read to your soul; especially when you or others have
no answers,
little faith, when Hope
seems out of reach, and you will find the Bible sufficient for
all of these.
Give
what you
can;
while
you can.
Whatever
you give
will
someday
be yours
to spend.
Companionship
is one
form of
wealth.
The
question
is not,
“Will I
have
enough,”
but
“Will I
give
enough?”
Ultimately,
science
is the
servant
of truth
and all
truth is
God’s
truth.
.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
The desire for mercy is
motivated by true guilt which separates our fellowship with the
Father,
which damages our spiritual
"love life". Mercy was recycled into Grace delivered at the
cross.
Without mercy their is no means
of forgiveness.
Jesus would have never shed His
blood if there no mercy forthcoming.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pray to forgive before you pray
to receive.
Forgiving another is not
justifying them, only yourself.
If you fail to forgive you have
failed!
An unforgiving spirit brings
bitterness, which corrupts, not only you, but all those your
life touches.
“Unforgivness” is cancer of the
soul.
If Jesus forgave those who
crucified Him; ought you not forgive someone who has hurt one of
your feeling, or harm you in some other way?
Being faithful is possible
being perfect is not.
The weakest person you know is
the one who refuses to forgive.
Give forgiveness and get
forgiveness!
An unforgiving heart bears a
price no one wants to pay.
Do not pray if you should
forgive only, pray only for the strength to forgive.
Bitterness is the guaranteed
fruit of an unforgiving heart.
Anger leads bitterness,
bitterness to regret, regret to guilt; which makes you angry
again, all which could have be resolved if you would only
forgive.
Keep in mind, that when you
forgive it helps you more than the offender; he still must deal
with his actions before God.
===========================================================
Faith and desperation
cannot coexist.
Difficulties is
perplexed by fear but helped by your Faith.
Promise become
character issues.
Learn to believe
greater than you can do!
Are my actions
examples of “God possibilities“?
---------------------------------------------------------
Adventure is Hope on
the move!
People of Faith
simply work harder!
Loneliness is the
exclusion of fellowship.
Promises are
committed intentions.
Experiences are the
building materials for tomorrow’s opportunities.
--------------------------------------------
Holiness is the Holy Spirit working
in you from the inside out.
Holiness is not only a commitment
but also a journey.
Holiness is not being perfect but of
perfecting your faults as the Holy Spirit makes you aware of
them.
Holiness is not the loss of wanting
to do wrong, but it is an overwhelming
desire to do right.
The more you love others the
“Holier” you become.
Holiness is when your soul’s cry is
“I love being good!”
Holy is as holy does.
Feeling Holy and doing Holy is
natural or it is only a feeling.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Difficulty is
perplexed by fear but overcome by Faith.
Doubt is only a
shadow in the brightness of Sonlight!
Trials and
difficulties try to make complex, the simplicity of the
Gospel.
I am incapable of
honoring God, without His help.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even the valley of
sadness has a sunrise.
The voice that
directs for the outside is never
as meaning or
powerful as the one from the inside.
Christmas without
Easter would have left no mark on history.
The mystery of the
Gospel is the Jesus found me not that I found Him.
God’s love erodes
your weaknesses
------------------------------------------------------
Prayer is a way of “staking out” territory in someone
else’s life for God.
When I pray god listens regardless of my spiritual status.
Pray is a gift to other even when they know not the
source.
You can crowd Satan in other’s liver though prayer.
The lack of prayers of a righteous man avails little in
the sight of the Lord!
=========================================
Love is the doorstep
of hope.
Change always comes
from the inside out, well oiled by Grace!
Try not to be too
surprised when you discover just how much God loves you!
Changes is almost
always preceded by the feelings of forgiveness.
True devastation is
the choice to live without God.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jesus and you can
change society about you, or at least make it more
tolerable.
Patience is made up,
of as much of divine dedication, as discipline.
The Holy Spirit is
promised to you personally; settle for nothing less.
What we want, helps
tell us who we are.
Christmas was about
Jehovah reaching down to lift us up.
------------------------------------------------------
His eyes see where you
are going, His heart knows what you want,
His love gives you what
you need,
and His presence
protects you from the rest.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is never a long walk to
find His guidance.
He is always near at hand
and has promised never to leave us nor forsake us.
Faith is more than a safety
net it is the foundation for love to rule our lives.
“Doing all things” is not easy to do so one
must raise his faith level.
You can always turn to Jesus and get the
sufficiency, you need.
Christianity is not just a way to change
society; it must first change you.
Faith is a way to see better, than you see
what you saw.
True patience only comes from
the Holy Spirit.
|
-------------------------------------------
If you are not lead by
the Spirit you are lost for sure.
Part of the church’s
ministry is to decuple the believers but without the help of the
Holy Spirit,
they are indeed
like sounding brass and tinkling cymbals.
The prayers of the
believer and the power or the Holy Spirit lead the “baby
Christian” into a man of God.
Without His help we
are helpless, hopeless and useless.
===========================================
Today is the canvas that reveals tomorrow’s blessing.
What I do today will be more important to the Father than what I did yesterday.
Today, is a second mile day, care to join me?
Success is not about how much money I make, but who I am becoming!
A moment is a minute on steroids.
If I need a nest tomorrow I need to build it today.
Yesterday is aroma, tomorrow is a fragrance, today is the result of one and the beginning of the other.
What I have done for Christ will be waiting for me tomorrow.
What I have done for myself will be useless in the Kingdom to come!
Yesterday and tomorrow only sandwich in what I am doing today.
If it were not for today tomorrow would little meaning for me.
You have enough time, each day, to do the Will of God in your life.
Holding on today, will leave you a handle for tomorrow.
Smear God’s love all over your today saturate in It.
Integrity, knows not today, from yesterday, nor is it concerned for tomorrow.
Everyday is a practice in Holiness.
If you are washed in the Blood today, tomorrow holds no fear for you.
Who are you to bless today …have you yet?
Today always holds more potential than tomorrow.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Jesus cam not to condemn us but
to saves us ….Wow!
Jesus came to seek you, before
you would seek Him!
You are individually
wonderfully made ..none like you anywhere.
If you are trying to be like
someone else you will always be a failure.
You have to be different of be
who you really are and do differently to do what you were
designed to do.
God loved you extremely even
when you had your back turned to Him.
His love for you cannot be
destroyed, by what you have done, only by your rejection
of His only begotten Son
and your death, can separate Him from you.
God made
everyone to be successful!
To the
Father success is doing the will of God in your life!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The more you do the
greater your influence.
Your willingness to
give brings light to others about you.
Family is belonging
in your heart.
Most of the best
leaders are not aware that they are.
Jesus died and rose
again for the differences between what you can do and what
you must be done.
--------------------------------------------------------
It is impossible to
surprise God.
Vivid living over
runs the deepest darkness.
Find someone to
mentor whether they believe or not.
Make fear, fright,
and failure uncomfortable in your life.
His portrait of every
day of your life, will someday be unveiled
----------------------------------------------------
Independence and
freedom are gifts of the blood of many.
We live in a free
country because many gave up theirs to obtain it.
How special is it to
live in this country full off possibilities only you can
develop.
We live in
independence, yet spiritually, independence from God, brings
personal destruction.
Without responsibility
freedom dies on the vine.
---------------------------------------------------------
|
Time is the currency; life is the marketplace.
Good is an evaluation of attitude and responsibility; their results are only observations.
Father, never allow me to escape your presence in my life, no never!
Seek a future in His hands and fear will not soil it.
Truth is often difficult to absorb.

---------------------------------------
Everyday is a canvas
that people can see what you are painting
Plant Hope in every
valley you pass through.
Your example
illustrates your testimony.
Your goals organize and prioritize
your life.
Whatever I know, is a
gift of effort, willingness, and understanding.
--------------------------------------------
Your Christian life
is soil, to grow faith, in others.
Muslims are just as
worthy of salvation just as are you.
Celebrate every touch
of kindness you see or feel.
Tyranny is a bitter
heart and a wounded spirit.
The biggest victory
we have in life, is over ourselves.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Only sell what can be
bought again
Pray, plan, believe
and then set off in that direction.
God is and will be
wherever you are!
Knowledge becoming
wisdom is not natural, only spiritual.
If you are not
a Christian you are wired to fear.
----------------------------------------------------
Vivid Faith enlightens
darkness.
Demons are nourished by the neglect of your spiritual life.
Have zeal only for
what you need not repent.
Your sins are less pricy than costly.
The presence of God
overshadows all other presence.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Challenge yourself
first, others second.
Teach what you live
and others will live what you teach.
Mold your mind around
Truth and you will know what to do!
Pay as much attention
to what is prayed as you do to what is preached.
The Hope you have was likely
given to you in prayer
-------------------------------------------------------------
If your confrontation
with Christ did not dramatically change your life, you did
not meet Him!
The perseverance of the soul brings a
harvest of faithfulness and happiness.
Wisdom is the ability
to differentiate between good and evil.
A successful life is
the application of wisdom.
God is not your
partner - but your Lord!
----------------------------------------------------
Unity is the will of the body
of believers, to do what they were previously unwilling to do.
Give out of faith not fear.
Your willingness provides the
opportunity for other to become willing.
When you meet Jesus, you will
change one way or another!
Lessons learned, often brings
healing to the bumps and bruises of life.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
God is pleased by
your Faith and angered at your lack of it.
It is because of your
weaknesses that God offers His strength.
Occasionally, Satan
will give you what you want but
he never gives
you what you need, never!
Grace neutralizes all
fears!
No one does what he
knows is evil willingly; he must first
be deceived and
then he must justify.
----------------------------------------------
Love is a gift your
friends can celebrate.
Fear isolates you
from hope.
Fear is the coat of
the cowardly.
Do you really want
evil to win over good? So often you have the choice!
Fear weakens the
foundations of your future.
==================================
Everyone worships but
fewer worship God.
The comfort of the
Comforter is comforting!
It is His Grace that
gives you Faith!
Only a Christian can
be comforted and
frustrated at the
same time.
Don’t do what a
preacher is saying;
only do what God
says the preacher should be saying!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your talent is God’s
gift to you; your development and use
of your talent is your
gift to God.
My weaknesses are mine
alone but my yielding to them affect so many others
and especially
those who love me and the ones I love.
The comfort of the
Comforter is sufficient.
God sends the
Comforter; there is no other.
Prayer is less about
what you have to say and more about what
He is saying and about
His comforting you.
God is not away, only
you can be.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Communication is a
willingness to understand.
Communication is the
ability to say and hear more than what is said.
To truly communicate,
one must dismiss his/her prejudices.
The more bias you
have, the less you understand.
Bias and principle are
not the same.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sacrificing is giving up something you would like for the good
of another.
The greater the sacrifice, the
more lasting the value, to one who can, or cannot, ever give
back.
Selfishness is the ultimate enemy
of a robust soul.
Parents do not own children; they
are a gift from God.
The prayers of parents are the
child’s best friends in their times of temptation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Children walk where
fathers have gone.
Few children escape
their father influence, and few should.
A father must love his
children before he can fix any of them.
Sons and daughters do
what fathers have done.
Fathers, pray before
you say!
---------------------------------------------------------
Faith is more
difficult to exercise than Hope.
Faith and hope are
both easier to accept than love.
Prayer is the best
means of knowing God better.
Pray for those who say they don’t need God or your prayers.
The more cheerful you
are the more thankful you will become.
------------------------------------------------------------
The lighter your load
feels; the greater your faith exertions.
God always spurs you
towards love.
Who is in charge of
your life? Thus who is responsible for your life?
Christian love always
improves your work.
Learn to carry your
responsibilities in a good.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is better to
blunder in love, than to succeed at hate.
Learn to embrace hard
work as a partner in your life’s journey.
Never waste you time
chasing what God has promised to give.
A good day’s work
provides a good night’s sleep.
God does not
improvise; He promises!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Work is not the
enemy, laziness is!
The satisfaction of
doing a good job exceeds whatever laziness has given you.
Feed the needy;
starve the lazy.
Whatever you have
done for another never returns unrewarded.
Satisfaction is one
portion of joy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The more successful
you become; the more your soul is endangered.
Try to understand the
lives of those you love.
Sanity is the proper
application of love.
Right needs no
justification, wrong is always unjustifiable.
Be careful never to
lose anything eternal.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Miracles cause
memories!
Even small faith reaps
huge dividends.
More money can be
earned but lost time is gone.
The second mile is the
most meaning mile.
Faith and miracles are
related to one another.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you raised any
dust on the enemy streets lately?
It is easier to
recapture lost money, than to remedy a lost relationship.
Non-Christians are
certain of their uncertainties.
Faith makes heroes of
ordinary people.
Success means you got
a lot of help.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Often the question is
not how much you have but what can you do without?
You do not serve to
believe but you serve because you believe.
If you know you are
great; your aren’t.
Humility is
understanding that God actually is working through even you.
It does not matter how
big your problems are it is a matter of how huge God is!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your good works are
apart of your testimony.
Selfish pride causes a form of
insanity.
God will provide what you need when He knows you need
to receive it.
Sanity is recognizing that you really
do need God.
Life is not about how much you have but it is about how much
you love.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Atheism is a result
of coming to the wrong conclusion.
Prayer needs no formal training other
than a confidence in His help.
Grace brings understanding, understanding brings wisdom,
wisdom brings good deeds.
Service is a rare privilege that few
pursue.
Service is a complicated blessing; but a blessing it is!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christmas in the
beginning and Easter the ending of our salvation.
Hope is the beginning of future
reality.
Life brings the gifts of sorrows and possibilities.
Negativism tend to abide in the cave
of impossibilities.
Never infringe on the Faith of another.
-------------------------------------------------
Prayer changes your
possibilities.
You don't need a passport to pray
around the world.
Often the best prayers come from the lips of the worst
people.
No prayer goes unheard or unanswered.
Prayer should have more effect on your circumstances;
than your
circumstances have on your prayers.
The benefits of prayer, first occur,
while you are praying!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose is the
foundation of fervent prayers.
Learn to pray believing prayers.
Prayer unleashes the Glories of God when His will intersects
with your life.
Hate bring personal chaos.
Prayer always provides a double blessing.
-------------------------------------------------
If you are worthy of
honor God allowed it.
Too often honor is given to the
dishonorable.
By the way, God did not make you to be somebody else!
If you are willing God will make you
successful.
God measures by the size of your heart not your wallet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Service inflates
life; selfishness deflates life.
You cannot increase your authority
without increasing your responsibility.
If you are not different from others you are not
yourself.
Selfishness it toxic to your life and
those around you.
A Christian ought to be thoroughly saturated with
love.
----------------------------------------------------------------
An idol is something
you hope can do what you know it cannot.
An idol is a way to avoid
responsibility.
An idol is whatever I put between me and God.
God is not an idol He is your Creator.
Your Creator loves you an idol has no love.
--------------------------------------------
Christmas is Christ
birthday, Easter provides for your second birthday!
Never allow circumstances to restrict
your prayers.
There is more of God than you can comprehend.
The purpose of Jesus is to give you a
purpose.
Grace protects the possibility of an enduring
individual peace.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Never underestimate
what it is like to be in the Presence of God.
It is easier to prove God than it is
to deny Him.
Prayer is how we move the mercy of God.
Prayer is the tap root of Faith.
Prayer helps the believer, believe.
-----------------------------------------------------
Honor can only be
accumulated through humility.
If you have to be humble you probably
aren’t.
The more you give honor, the higher the likelihood of
receiving it.
Hope need never be held hostage by
circumstances.
The manger is the key to the cross and the cross the key to
Heaven.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Folks who know where
they belong in life, belong.
Has your place in eternity changed?
The more trust you have in life, the easier the
journey.
Child like faith takes adult like
effort.
Good works without Grace soon dies away.
----------------------------------------------------
The harvest of Love
is both Mercy and Forgiveness.
People who know where they fit, in
God’s plan, fit.
If you see any good in your life, you are seeing God at
work.
What you have done for yourself is
small , while what you have done
for others is often
immeasurable.
You will accomplish more with a team, than being a
lone doer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can be an "overcomer"
in His abundance of Grace and Power.
Without God there is
little to trust!
Trust includes
something Holy.
Triumph is a result
of a moving, living, Faith!
Christians are apart
of something wonderful.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Contentment is fear
under Devine Management.
Your legacy will be how you have lived
and whatever,
you have given, shared, or invested.
Are you living a safe life or a Faith life?
Leadership is a
balance of consideration and passion.
Try some day to understand, the breadth of the
generous love of God!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Commitment contains
the fuel to finish the task.
Commitment stretches love into a
lifetime.
Without commitment you can never know serenity.
Whatever I am committed to becomes an
expression of me.
Commitment is the breeding ground of joy.
--------------------------------------------------------
Your influence is
seen before heard.
Never allow the sins of your past
overshadow the Glory you have received,
are receiving, and will be
receiving.
Your value is determined not by your past or your
friends
but by the
price paid for you on the Cross.
The love of your parents or the lack
of it, bear no resemblance
to the Generous Love of God coming
your way!
Commitment is believing God and none other.
-------------------------------------------------------
Here is praise chorus
I wrote a few Sundays ago.
I feel Your loving
arms around me I feel Your love refilling me.
I feel Your Joy overflowing in my life today.
Praise and Honor to You, Oh Father, for all that this day
will be.
Yea, today and everyday, are special when Your presence is
revealed anew to me.
Today, I feel what I believe about you and let my praise
contain all my gratitude!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Mother sculptures
lives.
Mother’s Day, is the one time. we
treat mom like we should everyday.
God gives mothers love that they multiply that love,
each day, into our lives.
Mothers are a symbol of love and
diligent, optimism and expectations.
Mother is the person who does more for you, than you
deserve,
This is the first Mother’s Day in my
life when my mom is in Heaven,
so instead of me calling her or taking
her out to eat; now all I can do,
is remember the many blessings
she gave me over and over again!
------------------------------------------------------------
“Here is a song I wrote and hope to
hear Greg Patterson, Glen
Roseman
or Shannon Smith sing.”. ( they will
have to write the music part.)
How sweet is the love; You have
placed in my life.
Today I feel angels watching over me.
Father, I love the tender care you
give me.
Keep that Angel close to me today, for demons I yet to slay.
With your Grace and Power, I mean to
push back the gates of Hell, in some life today.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whatever is most
difficult for you in your Christian walk is likely the most
neglected.
How you solve your problems offer
windows into your character.
God is not looking for a perfect heart but for a pure
one.
Never allow your eyes become dormant
when watching out for sin.
Prayer always brings vigilance to your life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whenever I hear,
“people are saying” means the person saying it,
has been listing to
gossip.
Right behavior fathers right feelings.
Giving beats keeping, hands down!
The most powerful people in your
church should be your prayer warriors,
not the biggest givers.
Who you really are allows to overcomes whatever
circumstance surrounds you!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whatever happens
to you is not a failure of God!
Often, failures are only good idea
with bad endings.
A failure only teaches you what does not work.
Gossip is a plague to the
faithful!
Mistakes and sins are not the same!
------------------------------------------------------------------
Demons can never
posses a Christian; but they can believe lies!
The weight of the world can cause one
to anchor in the wrong places.
Thinking about good will fill your life; but so will
dwelling on the bad.
Whatever has happened never limits
what can happen.
Dwell on your possibilities rather than your
impossibilities.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Worry brings the
fragrance of defeat.
Concern is legitimate; worry is
useless.
Thanksgiving wins over misgivings.
Worry cripples faith.
Victory always comes by Faith never by worry.
-----------------------------------------------
Prayer brings Hope in
to sight.
Prayer is a language understood before
it is heard.
Prayer is the key to open the recourses of Heaven.
It takes Faith to pray; while prayer
builds your Faith.
Direction without prayer is a misnomer.
---------------------------------------------
His best in your life
is a result of someone's prayers.
The enemy of prayer is despair.
One ally of prayer is Hope.
Prayer is a cup of cool water for both
the prayer and prayed for.
Prayer is pleasing the Father.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Love is a gift you
celebrate with friends and share with your enemies.
The more you learn, the less you have
to suffer through things.
If you have met Jesus you will change one way or the other,
Fear bears the seeds of chaos.
To fear for your future is to surround it with
despair..
----------------------------------------------------------
Change is usually a
result of a feeling of failure and forgiveness.
It is the enormous Love of God that
gives you the power for a positive change.
Christmas without Easter would have left no mark on
history.
The mystery of the Gospel is that
Jesus found me not that I found Him!
The joyous rapture in the soul is your reward for seeking
Him.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t be surprised
when you realize how much God loves you,
just enjoy the
fact that He does.
Change almost always comes from the
inside out.
Love is like living at the door of hope.
True devastation is the lack of God.
Your love for God tends to be a reaction, while His for
you was planned!
-------------------------------------------------------------
How understanding you
are determines how useful you will become.
Bargain only for the good, as it is
priceless, make no bargain for bad,
for it always becomes the ugly.
Laugh with the good; as evil carries its own sorrows.
Wise men do what they know to be
right!
Fate is when the prepared meet an opportunity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to best
Monday! If Friday was Good Friday then this must be the Best
Monday ever!
Knowledge without wisdom provides a
special form of ignorance.
Never confuse where I am with where I should be!
Sometimes to tackle a problem you must
loose your foothold.
Little thing are big things broken into parts.
Do enough of the little things and you
will get the big thing done.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Without the Cross
there could be no empty tomb!
The tomb is empty so your heart will
not have to be!
Everyday of a Christian’s life, the Cross, and the Empty
tomb
take on new meanings.
Faith is the gift of Easter and Hope
is the gift of Faith.
By Faith, someday, your tomb will be empty as well!
----------------------------------------------------------------
The passion of God is
you; that is why Easter is celebrated.
No other religion has a risen Savior!
His pain was your pain, returned to you as love.
Good Friday was terrible but Sunday is
on the way!
Christmas was so Easter could be!
--------------------------------------------
Easter is sacrificial
living/dying/living at its finest.
Jesus did what He needed to do, not
what He wanted to do.
Easter is your freedom day!
Christmas is happiness; Easter is
great joy.
The cross was not an accident; neither was the empty tomb!
---------------------------------------------------------
Wisdom is the
beginning of understanding.
Wisdom is seldom spontaneous.
Knowledge knows; wisdom does!
True wisdom is the application of
understanding.
To be wise is good; to do nothing with it is foolish.
----------------------------------------------------------------
We all need more than
we want, and want more than we need.
Governments tend to be more self-serving,
than citizen serving!
Politician tend to be more concerned about reelection
than doing what they were elected to do.
Wisdom is distilling the behaviors of
others to apply to new circumstances.
Wisdom is a collection of truth applied to need.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The focus of your
race determines the value of your journey.
Quit your failures before you suffer
greater losses.
When I see Jesus always, I have perfect vision.
The everyday Christian is the only
one, blessed every day!
One blessing is better than a lifetime of misery.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Your soul is on an
everlasting journey in this life and into the next one;
your decisions
here will determine what happens there.
Never allow the temporary to
manipulate the eternal.
Our lives tend to be entangled in the temporary.
If you are weary in well doing, you
are too tired!
Too many folks are racing to succeed at the wrong things.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Linger near
your prayers each day.
Whatever I have will be taken
from me;
whatever I have given can
never be taken away.
Wasted time tends to gauge the meaningfulness of our
lives.
Rest and relaxation are not
wasted time!
All of your time away from God is wasted time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To be at your
best you often must overcome your worst!
The more I choose
to sin, the more devastated my life becomes.
I am not going
to Heaven to receive a “tongue lashing” but to receive
“Grace!”
I am going to
Heaven not to review my sins, weakness, and failures;
but I am going
into the arms of a loving Father,
who sent
mercy and love my way here on earth.
Too often our
prayers are not that often!
------------------------------------------------------------
Endurance is the
energy of success.
The finish line in life may not be
movable but is reachable.
Your finish line begins with obedience and ends with
perseverance.
Only the dead can be perfect.
Luck is when the hand of hope grasps a hand of work
-------------------------------------------------
What I know primes
the pump of what I believe and what I do.
Only the Grace of God can untangle the
confusion of this life; look for none other!
Your best friends may
be in the future.
Do the best you can to overcome the
worst you could be.
The parameters of
your life will be determined by your attitudes,
actions, and
accomplishments - plus Grace.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have learned
to love the wrong things, your zest for the right things
tend to falter
.
Triumph requires difficulties.
Difficulties bring the lessons of perseverance.
Happiness penetrates gloom and doubt,
while driving back the darkness about you.
When His purposes become your purposes you are at peace
--------------------------------------------------------
Trust builds trust.
Find a church that touches lives
outside the church.
The joy of doing
right exceeds the difficulties and disappointments
you incurred in
the journey to do it.
Is your Faith discouragement proof?
Is your Faith the
type that discourages others from exercising their Faith?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Life without hope is
the beginning of misery.
Excellence is a result of cultivating
Devine leadership in your life
A committee is a group of believes surrounded by
expectations anchored by trust,
filled with hope,
trying to do what individuals were afraid to do.
Too often we forget we are reading with
glasses and
writing with pencils with erasers on them!
It is hard to have faithful hearts with empty heads.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Truth anchors Faith.
Truth trumps doubt.
Truth tramples fear.
Truth provides vision.
Truth strengthens resolve.
---------------------------
The best from God is
always headed your way.
The best person in Hell will the best
person on earth without Christ.
Love that does not flow spoils.
The Father sent His son so that you
might know you are loved.
Weak folks believe in their church; strong folks believe in
Jesus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jesus is the water of
life no one lives without water!
When truth is revealed one believes or
a lie is born.
When truth has to explained usually folks are looking
for a way around it.
Success is not getting what you want
but doing what you ought.
When you don’t know where to go turn right.
-----------------------------------------------------------
We tend not to
differentiate between discomfort and affliction.
Satan is out to compromise your
effectiveness each and every day.
Satan effectiveness is hindered when you acknowledge his
existence.
The weakest people believe in chance
the strongest believe in hard work.
Sin blinds us to sin.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make the angels
watching over you proud!
Service is a complicated blessing.
Faith startles fear!
Everyone else’s place is taken; the
problem is your place!
You were created to be who you are not someone else!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Honor can only be
obtained when it was not the purpose of the behavior.
Honor is rarely earned but often
claimed.
Never fall in love with an honor someone bestows on you.
Hope is not held hostage by
circumstances.
Enjoy your life you are the only one who can.
------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t just survive
burn brightly!
Be more broken over your sins that the
sins of others.
Gossip is easier than its redemption will be!
It is difficult to comprehend God’s
righteousness;
so we must be continually discipled.
If we are anxious in the presence of God;
it is because of
our failure to understand His love or His power.
---------------------------------------------------------------
You will have to be
willing to be ridiculed to stay right.
Love takes the
fear out of hope.
A life that is enriched is a life that is blessed.
Money cannot bring worth to your life
but giving can.
By faith you can see beyond the horizon of doubt.
-----------------------------------------------
His promises are
greater than your problems.
Faith is the clothing of
righteousness.
To be right, you often have to travel though the valley
of the doubt.
God’s promises are not guided by
your timeline but always arrive on His time.
God does not need your faith but He will reward
it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope provides the
greatest comfort when you are surrounded with hopelessness.
Hope is built on the foundation of
love.
Trust in God is a firm foundation; faith in anything else is
sinking sand.
When you are
wrong it is best to be graciously wrong.
Your struggles are not with God but with Satan.
----------------------------------------------------
Prayer is the cake
and the blessings is the icing.
Faith helps you to see not what can
be, but what should be, and what will be.
The mysteries of God are endless.
If you find yourself preaching to the
choir they likely need it!
Grace is what God does; faith is what you must do!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Every answer to
prayer is a moment to remember!
Our mission in life is to be on His
mission.
Our faith in our abilities often limit our faith in
His abilities.
The only way to “die in the Faith” is
to “live in the Faith“.
To many people are more comfortable than committed.
--------------------------------------------------------------
God is wherever you
are!
Your doubts are nourishing your
fears and your neglect of God.
Truth is difficult to ignore and hard to absorb.
God’s people should never be surprised
when He does the impossible;
thankful, yes, but never surprised!
The best leaders were doers first!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The hope you have was
given to you in prayer.
Family is belonging in your heart.
Never allow yourself to be valued by people or circumstances
only God can give
you worth that cannot be taken away.
Where you came from is of little
consequence;
where you are going, that is the
eternal question.
Don’t be bound by the shames of the past;
be thankful for
the present and ecstatic about your future!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The grip of grace
exceeds the grip of now.
In Christ you are bigger than
whatever you were before.
Prayer is the first step in Hope.
Only sell what is truth when being
offered the chance alter another’s life.
Pray, plan, and believe then set off in that direction.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life makes you more
comfortable with Christ or
leaves you more
calloused without Him.
Faith is a journey into Hope.
Do you allow your hurts to taint your Faith?
Which increases your faith the most,
perspiration or participation?
Expectations are the eyes of Faith.
---------------------------------------------------
Prayer will help you
chose to do what is right.
You were designed to be a carrier of
Faith.
Faith is placing the weight of your life in His Grace.
Grace in an
undeserved necessity of life.
Grace carries what Faith cannot understand.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The out pouring of
the love of God never ceases and always surrounds the
Christian.
Are you compelled to love others? A
Christian must be!
Are you a follower of Jesus or has He gone out of
sight?
An over comer must first be won over.
Give yourself over into His hands which are gentle, firm,
and everlasting.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I feel sorry for
those who pass by miracles but never see them.
Remember it is God that puts Himself
into your life.
It is God who invited you to be yoked with Him.
God is not as interested in giving you
a good life, as He is in giving you a useful one!
Are you a follower of Jesus or are you being left
further behind each day.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Disturbing Faith
is more demanding and more difficult than sweet Faith.
Snatch a soul from the fires of
Hell and you will understand
the difference Disturbing Faith
makes!
Concern yourself more with revealing Christ than with
passing judgment.
Are you as vested in God as much
as in your pension?
Go straight to mercy it is the power of recovery.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Living
sacrificially is a process of letting me out and letting
Him in!
Are you reaching into Hell to
pluck someone out?
Faith cannot be disintegrated by the fires of Hell!
Pride may be humble or noteworthy
but it always turns the light on me.
Pride shelters you from your view of others.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Father as I read Your
Word today, make something happen in me!
Are you a threat to the darkness
around you? You should be!
Satan has no fear of you but he fears your Faith!
Your living of spectacular Faith,
causes Satan great woe.
Learn to live better than folks think you can!
------------------------------------------------------
When you are young
you need God; when you old you cannot do without Him.
Torrid Faith blazes in darkness.
The ashes of your fears feed your faith.
Expectation is a Faith issue.
Lord help me set aside any barriers I have placed between
us,
for You have set
none of Your own.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Faith is a
hopeful journey.
Do you belong to the Church of the
Pacified and Petrified,
the Chosen yet Clueless, or the
Purified but Purposeless?
Are you waiting for God to do what you should do?
The longer the journey the more
you need of God.
Who do you hate to much that you refuse to share your
Faith?
----------------------------------------------------------------
You must learn
to enjoy what you have, to have what you want!
It is difficult to get to heaven when
you are headed in the wrong direction.
Forbearance is how you cultivate the seeds you have planted
in the lives of others.
The born again are ridiculed but never
left behind.
Have you planted the seeds of hope in some life today? Will
you?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pray and then go and
do His will.
Prayer is the your strength and your
best hope of revealing Him to others.
Your forgiven life, lifts my faith.
Your Faith multiplies my
possibilities.
Prayer prepares your life to be a blessing and other
lives to be blessed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Christ you live
bigger, better and beyond what you could ever have been
before.
Eternity is coming your way whether
you prepare or not.
God never stagnates and neither should a Christian
No Christian grows without prayer,
none!
God is already in the lives you will meet, as either friend
or foe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Faith is the breath
of love.
Living is believing.
You live what you believe whether you believe it or not.
The grip of Grace exceeds the grasp of
Satan.
Forgiven sin is a foundation; present sin is
quicksand.
--------------------------------------------------------
Legacy means you
leave behind who you were, not who you wanted to be.
Demanding unity is like gathering
a handful of cockroaches;
unity is a gift to the church by
each member.
The embers of fear glow into the night.
Faith confounds its critics.
Wise is he who applies his knowledge.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Giving is the highest
form of living!
Charity is God’s profit sharing plan
for the Christian.
God does not love you more for your giving; but He does love
for you to give.
Every giver is a receiver as well.
He who gives well lives
well!
-----------------------------------------------
I loved it when Satan
became a nuisance instead of a master.
Prosperity is for charity.
Giving overshadows grieving.
A heart can best be viewed from the
inside out.
When you desire good; your chore becomes a blessing.
--------------------------------------------------------
The biggest injustice
in life is not to fall but to stay fallen.
When a day slips by without a prayer,
it leaves little impression here or there.
When I do my best it usually is still a mess; but when I do
His best it always turns out for the best.
Yesterday, I scribbled all over my
day, but today I will write His way!
All is well when God says it is well!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems more folks
have difficulty going the first mile than the second one.
People tend to be more certain of
their uncertainties than their certainties.
Faith makes heroes of the ordinary.
Your Faith can change the blessings of
your children.
You are here to change to the world!
-------------------------------------------------------
Earthquake,
heartache, and death are incomprehensible; but so are Faith,
Hope, and Love.
You cannot go the second mile without
going the first mile.
Given joy survives longer than hoarded joy.
One of the fruits of joy is the
happiness you give others.
You may recapture the money you lost; but you can
never recapture time you lost.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will never
understand the price of the cross.
God is bigger that the “stuff” in your
life.
When troubles come into your life, so will Grace.
You can never disagree with God and be
right!
When troubles turn out the lights around you,
your testimony
turns them back on!
---------------------------------------------------------------
The power of God is
greater than the grip of your problems.
Truth survives circumstances.
Seeing a genuine Christian either makes you glad or sad.
Walking in darkness brings loneliness.
Grief and birth challenge our faith.
---------------------------------------
Giving is living!
Death separates our bodies but not our
hearts.
The passing of a loved one allows you to burry any
differences
you may have with
them and love them even more.
The power of mercy is overwhelming.
Truth is more durable than hardships.
------------------------------------------------
True character only
exhibits itself when you have a choice.
How hard is it for God to get your
attention?
It is hard to move forward when you have a stake in the
past.
The ordinary presence of God often
goes unnoticed.
Praise is always the right attitude!
------------------------------------------------------------------
God see no one that is useless
but He sees many who refuse to be used.
People don’t hold grudges; grudges
hold people.
God has a delivery system for all of His children.
A Christian always lives in the
presence of God; always!
Where do you feel the most discomfort in the presence of
God, or in the presence of Satan?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Never neglect the
ones who love you!
Beyond where you can see is what you
believe.
What you believe effects what you will see.
It is what we see by Faith that forms
what we do.
Bitterness never helps you feel better!
----------------------------------------------------
Fear contains the
seeds of chaos.
Spiritually speaking, "Fear is the
cloak of the cowardly."
Grace neutralizes fear.
To fear the future is to surround it
with all the possibilities of failure
Put your future in God’s hand and lose the fear of failure.
-----------------------------------------------------
Sinners tend to
define their sins to camouflage their effect.
A Christian can never lose everything.
An abundant life is a result of commitment, not your
success.
Pray for those who think they do not
need your prayers or God.
Prayer keeps the pipes of Faith from becoming
clogged.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Doubt makes loud
noises while Faith just marches on.
Shun doubt but protect your Faith.
Being wrong happens, but sin is a choice.
Whenever you sin, it means you have
accepted the unacceptable.
By the way, righteousness, is only a prayer away.
-------------------------------------------------------
Thinking will keep you
from becoming thoughtless.
Learn from others and fail less.
Borrowing trouble leads to default.
Carry a brief resume’ and a long praise
list.
The more I love myself the less I know of God.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Faith can move
mountains; Love will keep you sweet while you do!
Only a loving heart can mend a
bleeding heart.
If you are slinging mud you are getting dirty.
If Christians don’t agree with one
another, one will not try to destroy the other.
This world is your mission field not Heaven.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A grudge becomes a
flame that consumes friendships.
Whenever you step on a loved one, you
leave footprints.
Jesus never serves crumbs to the faithful.
Most people want the facts, but
avoid the truth.
Splitting hairs in a congregation leaves them thread
barren.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Cutting
words wound over and over again.
A wound from a friend festers more
than one from an enemy.
If you are too wise for counsel you are destine for
ignorance.
It is better to love being loved than
to love to be hated.

affair.

vertical stepping stones.

even if they didn't know they had one.
Heaven is full of those who gathered righteousness over
money.
Never accept counsel from and evil
man.
If you are not in some battle with Satan you will have no
victories.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bitterness,
being judgmental, and sarcasm sour any gospel you
preach.
The braggart pulls no load.
Kind words live in the closets of our hearts.
Often faithfulness is promoted over
potential.
The less you seek the love of men the more you are noticed
by God.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The trophies are
reserved for those who stayed in the battle.
It is dangerous to love a treacherous
person.
The love a good man is better that the riches of and evil
one.
The reward for the good deeds I should
have done yesterday,
bring a little less reward if done
today.
Being thankful makes you rich; being rich may not make you
thankful.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never consult evil to
find good.
Promise less that you can deliver.
Deliver more than you have promised.
Prayer is more about persistence than
position.
Pure love needs to be spring fed from above to within.
-------------------------------------------------
Potential bears no
fruit.

lost.

Being wrong happens; sin is a choice.
Promises pay no bills.
----------------------------------------------------
Your lack of Faith
cause generational failure.
Love leaves treasure in the heart of
the ones it loves.
Love is the unleashing of Faith funneled by Hope.

put His arms around you.

happiness.

that contains a contract.
Your potential is less important than your actions.

demanding your attention today.

prodigal son

Potential without
faith leads to failure.
Success without faith is still
failure.
He who is given much and does little has accomplished
failure.

others.

can abandon it while being distracted.
Never allow circumstances to move your anchor.
For the most part, you are what you
have chosen to become.

good he cannot sin, but no good Christian will tolerate it.

needed,
if you are wrong no argument can make
you right.
Your failures do not reveal your faults but your
reactions to it will.

Beauty without virtue is like a check
without funds.
A lie is the birth of failure.
The fabric of friendship is not
spun in a moment but over years.

sin.

was changed by Grace, it can still be changed by sin.

rich.
Better it be misunderstood and innocent than to be
praise while guilty.
There are no Holy sinners.
If your happiness is transitory then you need more of
God.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your call to preach
comes from God, not the seminary;
from the Bible,
not from your denomination.
The fruit of prayers are often
delivered by the hand of a man.
Hope endures, that is why it is called Hope!
Hope is not limited to what I can see
but extends to what He can do!
Hope is the engagement of the present to the future.

We tend to wear
sorrow; when we could wear Grace.
The more you know what it right the
easier it is to say no.
Let no trial take away your joy!
Better it is to face the conflict of

little things; the big things tend not to show up!
A moral dilemma only exists, when you
want to do wrong.
Singing “Amazing Grace” has gotten me through many of the
dark tunnels of life.
It is better to do the right thing for
the wrong reason,
than to do the wrong thing for the
right reason.
Usually, a fair deal revolves around what I get out of it.

Enjoy your joy;
sorrows will return soon enough.
Happiness is contagious, while sorrow
is infectious.
Often, hope must ignore reality.
Learning undermines ignorance.
Knowledge is good; applied knowledge is better.
------------------------------------------------------
Knowledge without
righteousness is harsh.
Never let the complexities of tomorrow
ruin the peace of today.
Knowledge speaks fewer words, but they matter more.
The power of knowledge is in its
application.
When knowledge wants
to take its flight, ignorance does its best to slow it down.

Love brings victory
to the heart that holds it.
Do not disregard the knowledge you
have, in light of the volumes yet to be discovered.
Hard work accomplishes most goals.
Complaining robs the present of its
potential joy.
Play is the joy of work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hospitality does not
come from the house, but from the home.
Faith feeds hope wherever it hides.
Where I live has no walls!
The task is not to regain what you
have lost, but to gain from what is coming your way.
The house is for pictures, the home provides the welcome.

bring you certainty not conceit.

Your actions interpret your Bible.
Living “large” is a Biblical possibility.
The taller you stand against Satan, the more of God is revealed,
as He stands behind
you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A step in the right
direction is a step away from the wrong direction.
Your heart creates the world in which
you live; circumstances create the weather in that world.
Forgiveness is the only currency of Heaven; don’t go there
broke!
Living without loving is not living at
all!
If you have not learned to love someone who hates you; you
have yet to learn to love.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Teasing is one sided
fun.
Irritation brings down happiness.
Aggravation lessens love
Revenge withers your soul.
Awareness reveals all and forgiveness eliminates all need
for teasing,
irritation,
aggravation, which then eliminates the need for revenge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A theology that asks
for less than your best, is not best for you.
Give me less theological debate and
more fellowship; are we not all His children in the Faith?
The more a staff does what they wouldn’t, the more
the leaders can do what they couldn’t.
God's notebook has your name in it.
Is His in yours?
Has your life become an illustration of the moody, a sail
for the windy, or a foundation for the Builder?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The old year is a
sunset on past decisions and the New Year is the sunrise of
new ideas.
Grandchildren bring wonderful trouble
with energy to burn.
Poverty never puts down roots in those who are rich in
Faith.
The offense of love defeats the
defense of bitterness.
Fellowship is a choice, as well as, a privilege.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Too many people are
settling for the appearance of love.
To find yourself, look upward not inward,
forward not backward.
God never said. “Your saved; I’ll see you in Heaven.”
What God said. “Your
saved; I’ll lead you to Heaven!”
Some folks are just hard to love, try not
to be one of them.
If you were worth forgiving, you would not need it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whatever amazes you,
never surprises God.
Forgiveness, is a blessing, to be
received, as a miracle.
It takes Grace to forgive and humility to receive.
Life is a school, having been
now taught, you must learn.
Forever is the hope of many but the possession of a
Christian.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What we know,
that might shake our Faith, should not.
Being hard headed is really a fear of
loving.
Hope is not an aspiration, rather a promise!
Selfishness is a process of hyper
boiling impertinence.
Imagination is the awareness of the conversations between
the soul and the spirit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope brings its own
cures.
Does your heart have ears?
You do not have a soul; you are a soul.
Hope has it’s own way for dismissing
fear.
The thought of hope, brings Hope.
---------------------------------------------------
You cannot comprehend
the power you have because of His love for you!
Grace is the resting place of peace.
Love , by far, is the very best gift you can give another
human being,
Weather, should never effect your
Faith.
If your heart has no scars, it is yet to be used!
--------------------------------------------------------
Talk is the wind,
doing is the fire.
Doing better is your
backslidden best.
Are you really doing what you think you are doing?
Making you perfect is God’s job, doing
right is yours.
God is more concerned with your direction than your
accomplishments.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The difference
between right and wrong is you!
If you are a Christian, choosing to do
right should not be a matter of choice,
but a window into your character.
Choose now what you will do when you are under
pressure.
Bad choices are, not necessarily the
ones that go against the grain,
but the ones that go against your
conscious.
Every day is new; are you?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best way to loose
weight is to smile more and eat less.
When you know you are able, be
especially careful.
Anyone can do what they can if they want, but it is
tough to do what you won’t, but should.
Hesitation is the beginning of
failure.
Never window-shop sin.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
May your New Year’s
resume’ include the eternals that should direct your life
this year.
To resolve to do is good but doing
good is better!
Understanding your past blessings helps you to be
prepared to count your new ones.
Every new day is an opportunity to do
right.
DO what is right and you will BE what is right!
--------------------------------------------------------
Christmas is a day
that God enjoys more than you can.
It is not the day, but the gift of
Christmas, where God gave more than possible.
Christmas is the beginning of which there will be no
end.
Christmas means every man chooses
Heaven or Hell in one way or another.
Easter gives you the purpose and the power to choose
Heaven over Hell.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Memories are moments,
threaded together with love.
“Why Christmas?” I asked, “Because I
loved you so much.” answered God.
“Why Easter?” I asked, “Because there was no other way,”
replied God.
“Why Me?” I asked, “Because one soul
is worth all the world and everything in it,“ answered God.
“Where do I go from here?” I asked, “Just continue
your journey to Heaven,
I will be with you
every step of the way,” answered God.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friends and family
love are the pillars of Christmas; Christ is the foundation.
Don’t let others determine your
Christmas spirit!
This Christmas is a new beginning; start here to go forward.
Bitterness will sour this Christmas,
as well as, everyday after.
Bless someone, who will not know you have, this Christmas!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make friends with
your family; they will always be there one way or another.
Christmas gives you a chance to
forgive was well as remember.
Whatever gifts you give, this Christmas, the gift of love
will be the most important.
This Christmas remember to forget what
should be forgotten,
and remember what you ought to be
remembered.
The smiles of children gives meaning, to the meaning of
Christmas.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Giving is better than
receiving but the receiver, in need, feels it first.
Hope was planted at Christmas and
brought forth fruit on Easter.
The warmth of Christmas is remembering to love more than
yourself.
Christmas is less about giving and
more about loving beyond your comfort zone.
The “love that makes the world go around” was
demonstrated at the first Christmas.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The love that
Christmas gives perishes when not passed on.
Giving beats loaning any day.
At Christmas God gave, not loaned, us His love.
The more you love the Christ-Child of
Christmas,
the more you will understand the
Savior of Easter.
Anything you give without love becomes a parasite.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christmas is about
love of the Father and the willingness of His Son;
and Easter is about
the cost of that love and the forgiveness it provides.
The real message of Christmas is to
love someone who does not deserve it.
Give something to someone who cannot give back this
Christmas.
Christmas is about coming to the
needy, not to the deserving.
Christmas is found in the heart, not under a tree.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If it were not for
Easter, Christmas, would have no meaning.
Because of Christmas. hope went from
the head to the heart.
It seems, to often, that giving at Christmas time has gone
from privilege to obligation.
God gave us Jesus because He loved
you, not because He had to.
When it is Thanksgiving time we are thankful, then at
Christmas time we understand why!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes God closes
doors to open your eyes.
Whatever you have, has you.
Being sorry is good, but not changing, is being really
sorry!
Acting wrongly, ruins being right.
Never learn how to lose but do learn how to act when you do!
----------------------------------------------------------
A wise man is one who
lives wisdom.
Be thankful when you can give and feel
blessed when you have received.
He who forgives first, experiences the
least pain.
American justice has less to do with truth and more to do
with deceit and paperwork.
It is better to see what a wise man is doing, than to
hear what a wise man is saying!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take pride in your
work but give thanks for your accomplishments.
Time management is really life
management.
Save from what you earn, so you can give when you have
learned.
Charity is not an option; it is an
investment.
Give from your heart and your wallet will follow.
--------------------------------------------------------
The consequences of
poor judgments cannot be predetermined.
Greed is a temptation of success.
Inspirational humility is a far more effective form of
leadership than the "follow me" types.
Only follow someone, who is headed
where your heart wants to go.
In order to get the best out of others, you must be
willing to get the best out of yourself.
--------------------------------------------------------------
If it is too good to
be true, probably it isn’t.
When you have enough, what is given
you, has less value.
If your marriage is like a tree; is it Sourwood or Sweet
Gum?
Leadership is the process of helping
other see their possibilities in the company goals.
Paying attention is much
cheaper than ignorance.
------------------------------------------------------------
If, “the first shall
be last” then a lot of us are working at for the wrong
prize.
Making a mistake, and doing something
you know is wrong,
are in no way near the same thing.
A fake is the genuine made to be inferior.
When cutting ties, make sure yours is
not caught in the same cut.
Grow your own hope in the lives of others.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
People are more
difficult than things, but much more valuable.
Christmas is the beginning of
forgiveness.
Love does what it should, when it would rather not.
A workaholic has fallen in love with
the wrong thing.
Whatever you have accomplished you haven’t; only He has
allowed it through you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is easier to
share, when we have little, than when we have much.
Faith is so simply, difficult.
Every prayer is as act of faith and a gift of
thanksgiving.
Friendships often wither on the vine
of neglect.
Friends feed one another, even when one of them,
cannot.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Love is a tenderizing
agent for the soul.
Prayer is the only thing that can add time
to your life and life to your time.
Progress is not our most important product, obedience is!
After you pray, do something good.
Too often, we do too little, when we have too much!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forgive, give, and
live all intricate parts to the Christian journey.
How bright is my light? Is it candle
powered or Christ powered?
“Faith without works is dead.” Do you really want your
earthy journey to be useless?
Your Faith can change the blessings of
another.
A Christian ought to be a “grow house” of Faith.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is by Faith that
you are able “to taste and see that God is good.”
Faith is the package, in which, the
answers to your prayers are delivered.
Faith gives you the desire to live, the strength to pray,
and the wisdom to believing.
Faith is the salve for the wounds
inflicted by those who were suppose to love you.
Faith helps you see farther than you can believe.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If your life has not
changed, since you met Jesus, you did not meet Him.
Faith is how you feel the love of God
and are able to curl up in His everlasting arms.
Faith helps you do, what you wouldn’t, as well as,
what you couldn’t.
It is Faith that helps you love the
“hard to love” people in your life.
Faith allows you to see beyond another's sins and
weakness into their possibilities in Jesus.
===============================================
Faith turns
selfishness into selflessness.
Life has no reverse; so you need
to do what needs to be done. Now!
God has something for you to do every day, if you don’t
do it, it is left undone.
What do people experience when
trying to approach your life, a tender roast or jerky?
Remember, God has no defensive plan for the Church, only
a offensive one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I do, with what I
believe, is what I believe!
Living your Faith is a performance issue,
not a salvation issue.
God has put someone, on their way to eternity, in your
path, on purpose,
to help you, or for
you to help them, or more often both.
You never help someone do right, that you
do not better comprehend right.
When you step out of fellowship with God, His blessings cease to
be noticed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How did you show your
Faith last week?
How will you show your Faith this
week?
Are you and embarrassment to your Faith?
Are you clinging to your Faith or
living by Faith?
The faithful are called faithful because they are
full of their Faith!
-----------------------------------------------------------
To make a difference,
you will likely have to be different.
If you do not become comfortable where you
are;
your next step will be made with much trepidation and many
temptations.
When you know enough, you have ceased to learn.
Hope will endure what love commands of it.
Faith stands best when anchored on a promise and surrounded by
principle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You do well young
man, if you do well.
Hope grows as it is embraced.
The thought of Heaven offers comfort and purpose to the
Christian’s journey.
If it were not for Heaven, man would
have little reason to live.
If were not for Hell, man would
little
fear of dying.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Truth needs no
embellishment.
The world is full of people who
embrace fractured truths.
Fractured truths are fragments of truth sown together by a
deceiver.
The flavor of a half truth is more
enticing than that of a whole lie.
Everyone resists an uncomfortable truth.
-------------------------------------------------------
Extremist are only
extreme to normal people.
Normal; tend to be whatever you
believe to be true.
Whenever you bend or stretch truth you are creating a lie.
Truth is still truth no matter how you
have compromised that truth.
Any extreme version of a truth becomes an untruth.
----------------------------------------------
Faith will help you
do what you can do while you can and before you can’t.
Having nothing to do means you have
ceased to care.
Love only grows if you give it away.
It you are too hard on yourself you
will be too hard on your others.
God’s laws are not there to frustrate you be to give
a sense of place and freedom therein.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heaven will be
thrillingly wonderful.
The streets of gold will be scarcely
noticed.
Heaven will be; friends without envy, jealously, or
misunderstanding.
Understanding Heaven is simply beyond
our capacity to comprehend.
Heaven is better than you can believe.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Kind words and/or
good deeds bring Thanksgiving to any day.
It is impossible to be thankful when
your soul refuses to forgive.
Learn to live how thankful, you really are!
If you are truly thankful, whatever
you are thankful for, alters your life.
The more you understand who you are, and what you have been
given,
the more thankful
you become.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are old when you
choose to be.
You are lonely when you choose to be.
Mostly, depression is a chosen profession.
No one is useless until they choose to
be.
Choose to be what you want to be.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fortunate is a
fortunate does.
A Christian is a Christian does.
As forgiveness is forgiveness does.
As love does love is cherished.
Mercy is the beginning of forgiveness.
-----------------------------------------------------
Cataracts and conceit
have the same effect on your vision.
Autumn leaves are God’s coloring
paper.
Rude people are hard to impress.
When life ceases to surprise you, they
close your casket.
Winter gives you more time to do less.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have lost your
place in line, can you celebrate the one who took your
place?
Life is too dangerous to live without
Faith!
War makes believers of heathens or increases their
ignorance.
I would rather be blessed than lucky,
any day.
Helping hands rarely see the extent of their influence.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Every step you take
away from God increases your diminished capacity.
The souvenirs of your faithfulness
make up the crowns you cast before Jesus one day.
A village can raise a child but only Jesus can save
him.
A good example provides more power to
resist temptation, more than a good word.
If you are gifted where do you think that gift came from?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just because you have
power over someone, does not mean you are better than they
are.
Might never makes right; only truth
makes right.
It is better to go two steps backwards, than to go a mile
forward in the wrong direction.
It is better to be chastised for doing
right, than to be imprisoned for doing wrong.
Your progress is only progress if you have been true to your
principles.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep your memory full
of good, by deleting the bad daily.
Working hard provides your best
reference.
Put some spring in your steps before you fall.
Illness always challenges our optimism
and our faith.
Prayer is the only way to clear the obstacles you
cannot see.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
When you blow your
own horn, no one likes the music.
The more pull you have, the better
dentist you become.
Survival is not better than principle.
Expectations come either from Faith or
optimism.
If your eyes are bigger than your stomach, so is your
waist.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Becoming a better
person does not make you a good person.
You can change but only salvation can
make you a good person.
Only Jesus can give you salvation.
Do what you can, while you can, before
you can’t.
To see opportunity you have to first look away from
yourself.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Revival is the
sleepers. Resurrection is for the dead. Which does your
church need? You?
The difference between a task and an
opportunity is attitude.
Faith is forward thinking; doubt is the reverse.
The more fervor you have, the further
into the impossible you reach.
Taxes are government’s way of stealing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is better to
outlive your usefulness and to be useless all your life!
Death and taxes are not eternal.
Make as may friends as you can that you will see beyond the
grave.
Hell is as real
as Heaven!
Salvation is not a plan; it is a total change.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Measure with a tight
string, your faults; and with a stretchable string, the
faults of your friends.
Remember your friends see your faults
but also your possibilities.
Prayer is something you initiate, but God is always
listening.
The prize of life is having the souls
around you, pointed to God.
Gossip is the ultimate sniper attack.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Doing right limits
your friendships.
Honor should be a gift to your
character, not just a happenstance of politics.
It is hard to remember what you have forgotten.
Marriage is a commitment to the
happiness of another.
You can laugh and not be happy, and smile and there be no
joy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despair is
Faith in disrepair!
Youth is when you search for
Faith.
Midlife is when you put Faith to the test.
Old age is when Faith brings
the biggest smile.
Faith is a companion, of whom, you are never
weary!
Veterans are
folks who gave Freedom more than they took!
---------------------------------------------------------
Life is less about
“How blessed I am!” and more about “How can I be a
blessing!”
The pessimist sees too poorly while
the optimist sees too well.
The purpose of character is to have backbone under pressure.
Hard work will never replace Faith but
it can hasten it!
Put a smile on the life of someone who needs it,
today!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A hug and a dollar go
farther than a hug alone.
There are far more temptations in life
than opportunities to do right;
shun the temptations and cherish the
opportunities.
Do your best to make others successful.
Church unity brings a corporate joy
that cannot be found in personal joy.
If you do not agree with Jesus, you can never be right.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When your Christian
obligations become a privilege, your walk becomes a joy.
Doing your best will be of little
consequence without Jesus.
When you get a promotion, do you pray for those who did not?
People are more impressed with your
attitude than your circumstances.
Joy is the first fruit of obedience.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
God helps shape your
attitude but you change your behavior.
Attitude and behavior are yours to
manage until you die,
but the hurts, problem, and
discouragements you cause are not yours to choose.
If your salvation did not change your life you have found
the wrong savior!
First comes thankfulness and next
comes gratefulness.
It takes thankfulness to be full of joy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The difference
between right and wrong is simple right is always right
and wrong is
always wrong.
Fear is hope in reverse.
You can never catch up using the same behavior.
Time can be borrowed against but never
repaid.
Everything I know was learned from something or someone.
=====================================
If you have done what
you could, you have done what you should.
In some cases you need “pull” to get
started.
Wrong is wrong no matter what the flavor.
“Can do” usually “will do!” Can't do,
never does!
Mercy is a gift, as well as a requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------
“Never” or "Always"
is too long to project an idea, but dead-on for a truth.
Satan allows you to profit from
selling your principle; but it always costs more than you
gain.
Peace is a blend of resisting despair and embracing hope.
You cannot pray to often, but you
can to seldom!
The acceptable is only acceptable if it is acceptable to
Him.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Whatever you take
from another is a debt owed!
The difference between making a
“profit” and a “killing” is character.
Trickle-up economy is when your neighbor profits more and
you are still blessed.
Compassion is more manly than
judgment.
Doing right is less painful than asking for forgiveness.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Good news for one,
may be bad news for another.
Celebrate what is right; never smile
at what is wrong.
Business makes a profit at the expense of its
customers.
Good
businesses provides less profit and more value.
Love is the “most” greatest profit from any relationship.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The world has
declared “open season” on faith.
God has proclaimed: Faith is the
substance of everything worthwhile.
Hard work is failure’s worst enemy.
If you are doing right, you can do no
wrong.
Hope often bears the scars of discouragement.
-------------------------------------------------------
Your intelligence
should lead you to God, if not, question it.
I have yet to see a tree evolve into a
monkey!
Catching up often involves listening.
To form opinions, only use truth.
Be careful, but be consistent.
--------------------------------------------------------
“Smart” means you
know what to do; “Wise” means you are doing it.
You can not solve all of your problems
but you can pray about them.
By the way, Faith is the power of prayer.
Are you laughing with someone or at
them?
The choices are yours, the results are not.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Be prepared; but ask
God if you are right!
If you are depressing, you cannot be
inspiring.
Just because you are fallible, does not mean that you should
not try.
Trial and effort is more about the
effort than the trial.
Giving up is guaranteed failure.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Judge less and
forgive more!
When you judge others, even when you
are right, you are wrong.
Becoming a Christian always alters your life, always!
Progress that compromises your
principles, isn’t!
Set out each day to find a spiritually hungry person,
then feed them.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Plan your day, but
listen for God‘s direction!
Doing less than you should is a moral
weakness.
Profit, at the expense of another, is a loss.
Focus requires mental sweat.
Forever, is a long time to be alone; “Hell must be
hell“!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Loneliness is a
choice or a lack or faith.
Someone else is always looking for a
friend.
You are special, accepting it is the difficult part.
Pave the way for someone else to be
happy, today!
With Jesus you can make a mark that no force can erase.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Love brings out the
best in you or points to the worst.
An obligation is a privilege you have
to complete.
If things are going south they will eventually end up going
north.
“Sorry” is a burden that few can bear
for long.
Forgiveness takes more of a burden off of you than the
forgiven.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The good thing about
growing old is less people are impacted by your failures.
Whatever you are “stewing” about your
family has to eat as well.
Worry is a mockery of Faith.
Stress and adversity are the parents
of Faith.
Patience is the child of Faith.
--------------------------------------------------
A birthday is
something you cannot remember that others do.
A paper tells me how old I am, and the
mirror reinforces it.
Everyday you live, moves you further from when you came
and closer to when
you are going.
It is only your Christian birthday
that has any real meaning.
A birthday, is a celebration with others, to help you get
over how
sadly
wonderful it is to grow old.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The hardest things to
remember are the things forgotten.
The cool of the morning and the warmth
of being held by one you love
are but a few of the gifts of life.
The highest form of respect is not earned but is given.
Most lives need more forgiveness than
praise.
Bring your life to
the shores of eternity, climb aboard the "Good Ship Zion"
for the ride of
your life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Love cannot flourish
in a trickle down form.
For love to be successful it needs to
be free flowing.
A figure of speech is a point of reference.
Success is built not attained.
Being a blessing is a genuine privilege.
---------------------------------------------
Purpose evolves as a
resistance to failure and is empowered by the possibility of
success.
Hope endures the tarnish of failures.
Patience is the safety valve of anticipation.
You can never “get even” with the
right attitude.
The less you have to enjoy, the more of what you have
becomes enjoyable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Temptations are the
termites of commitment,
Commitment is a collection of
principles I refuse to change.
To make a dent in life one must be willing to endure a
bruise or two.
Imagination is the joy of hope.
If you have learned to count your blessing, you are much
richer than those who haven't.
===============================================================
|
Success
creates its
own energy.
Principles
are ideas I
have put
into action.
Recognizing
good does
not require
a knowledge
of bad.
It is better
to be tired
than to act
tired.
Love is the
fruit of
commitment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today Is my favorite
oldest grandson's birthday what a blessing he is.
We are so thankful for
him.
Never do less than
your testimony demands.
Asking less of yourself is a poor way
to succeed.
There is no hope in darkness, so spend no time looking
therein.
Part of vision is seeing what could
better, as well as what is.
Old friends are the anchors to which new friends are tied.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Better to be tired
from doing good, than to be thrilled while doing wrong.
Gather hope from all the lives you
meet and sow it not sparingly into lives in need.
Tether your dreams to the foundation of expectation.
In order to dream large, plant deep.
A pocket full of sunshine is better that acres of
hopelessness.
------------------------------------------------------------------
When you get even with someone
you are already behind!
The atheist
believes he is smarter than God.
An optimist believes the best and the
pessimist prepares for the worse.
The
pessimist looks to the optimist to see
what he should fear.
Time tends to run out at the wrong time.
Sacrificing for the ones you
love is a blessing, but a sacrifice
nonetheless.
Running
interference for others will likely
interfere with your life.
Good may be better than bad but
it is still not your best.
Craftsmanship is a lifelong study.
Stop wondering if you can and do what
you can.
Every one fails but no one wants
the credit.
Forget your
good deed before it turns into pride.
Remember a kindness and turn it into a
memory.
Voice your
approval more than your disapproval and
be sure to keep score!
Eighty percent of life is good, ten
percent is bad, and ten percent hard,
measure your reactions accordingly.
Even when I walk in another
man’s shoes I tend to see only what I
want.
Pride is
for the foolish and humility is for the
wise.
Police your life or the police will.
A helping
hand delivers more good than a night of
prayer.
Without the night of prayer the helping
hand will not know what to do!
Balance should be determined by
the Bible, rather than by any ideas of
man.
Your
treasures are best carried, in the lives
of others.
Ingenuity is fuelled by faith, famine
and fortitude.
Complexity
is usually the result of the neglect of
simplicity.
A rewarding life is a daily journey in
the Grace of God sown from your life to
another.
Love scales the wall of
misunderstanding.
A clean
slate is still designed to be used.
Fair play is more fun when you win but
means more when you lose.
An ugly
heart can have a pretty face.
Better to work too hard than too little!
In Christianity it is finder’s
keepers for sure!
