Learning is the observation, the comprehension, and the application of truth.
Learn or repeat the lesson.
History doesn’t repeat itself...however, the results of sin, will repeat itself!.
Instead of always making the "best of bad situations" how about avoiding them before they happen.
Learning is always more painful the second time.
Learning and failure are both foundations for success...be sure to use both of them, not just one!
A Smoky Mountain HI

Whatever, Jesus cannot control, in my life does not need
to be in my life.
All of our friends and family are affected
by our choices.
Jesus will control what you allow Him to control. He
said take up your cross and follow me…Your choice.
Jesus said to repent and turn from your
sin and I will forgive your sin and cleanse you from all unrighteousness…His
choice.
We can limit God’s ability to use us by our
choices.

There is not room in today for
yesterday.
Time is like love; invest it or lose it
but you cannot hoard it.
Plan for tomorrow but live
today.
If God is too busy to listen to you, then
why is “His eye on you continually”?
Plan for others with care and for yourself
with determination.

Faith turns hope from iron into
steel.
Faith is believing that God will not hold
your past against you while He is planning your future.
Faith will be obsolete in
Heaven.
Faith, trusts God to answer its prayers
correctly.
Faith is a process of believing God more
than Satan.
Faith grow like crops in the field, while
doubt grows like weeds in the sand.
Growth begins at the end of your mindset
and at the beginning of your faith.

If relationships are the building blocks of society, then some folks live in mighty small houses.
A relationship involves the intertwining of lives for the benefit of both and or others.
Whatever you have done unto others, you have done unto yourself as well.
One forgives another, for their own sake, more than the sake of the others.
Maturity means learning to be a “bleeding heart liberal” for the needs of others and a “hard core conservative” for your own.
Love is a chosen, committed relationship, embodying cooperation, common concerns, and mutual comfort.

When you forget the people in your life; you have
forgotten why you live, how to live, and what to live for
tomorrow!
Relationships are one the most
wonderfully, dangerous, opportunities in life.
To do without relationships is like dying before you are
dead!
Part of our journey is discovering
what can and will do through your relationships with others.
You are people too; so don’t keep others from seeing
what God can do with and through you.

Hope, hard work, and humility are the
nutrients of success.
Not voting is the sin of omission...Right?

Wisdom is not doing the best things for others in your life; it is doing God’s will for others in your life.
An estimate is a planned guess, not a lucky “stab in the dark“.
The sooner you know who God is; the sooner you will understand who you are!
Prayer is an opportunity to reload your power.
Planning for retirement is like cramming for your final exams…it is done with fear and trepidation.

Nine lepers were healed but only one was
saved… the one who can back to thank Jesus.
Coming to church and worshipping are not
the same.
Thinking is the process of gathering ideas
and putting together a plan.
Whenever, I fail to express gratitude I
lessen the value of what I received.
Envy creates an ongoing progressing desert
in your life.

Happiness is a byproduct of doing the Will
of God in your life.
Love gives more that it receives, yet always has
more than it had.
Happiness is the emotion of
love.
Love gives before it feels like it, and
will gladly give more than it planned too.
Contentment is the aftermath of
happiness.

Be more grateful of the changes that Jesus brought to
your life than you have fear of what others will think!
Prayer focuses you on God…God is already
focused on you.
Jesus not only paid the price for your sins, but He paid
for you to have an Abundant life, Joy unspeakable, and Peace that passes all
understanding, as wel l!
God created no errors and He did
not start making them with you either.
When Jesus changed your life,
He expected a chain reaction through you as well.

Truth is priceless, yet most folks try to
sweep it under the rug when it complicates their lives.
A hypocrite is a fruad, in the church is a
Christian fraud.
How grateful can you be for salvation? It
is not enough!
Gratitude is realizing that every step one
takes in life is a precious gift from a loving God.
Be grateful before you feel
grateful.
Envy cripples
gratitude.

Grace deserves so much more than a “thank you” it calls for a celebration.
Fleece faith is weak faith…If God said it, it is not a faith issue, it is a obedience issue…no fleece needed.
The more you know that God is indeed with you; the less faith you need and the more obedience is normal.
When you see yourself you are discouraged…when you see Grace you are encouraged.
Wherever you are God has been...and will be!

We live in country where more than half of
the citizens pay no taxes but demand those who do provide for
them.
Working hard cannot not be caught it must
be taught.
While your value is always in who you are;
what you do with who you are increases or lessens your
worth.
When you live in a universe that revolves
around you; you have found the smallest place to live in
misery.
While Christian’s have “Joy unspeakable”
it should be noticeable!

People tend to call wrong right,
until they believe it really is!
Right is only if it is
right and right is only right if done righteously.
Forgiving others is
a gift to one’s self.
May the last deed in your life be
one of your best deeds!
Lost opportunities can never be regained only
new opportunities deserve to be embraced.
Tuesday, September 11, 2012
Hope always exceeds expectations.
What is the difference in your difference since you became a Christian?
Is your worship a celebration or an endurance experience?
Gratitude is a journey that results in a grateful behavior.
Learn to be thankful that you can be thankful!

If you are not different than you were
before you met Jesus you met someone else instead.
If you truly met Jesus, you are either,
sad, mad, or glad.
If you are angry at anything but evil you
are misusing its purpose.
Selfishness blinds you to
reality.
Integrity is the application of truth to
your personal life.
Forgive quickly but empower
slowly.

Without labor there is no
freedom
Sunday, September 02, 2012
If you are not yourself, you will forget who your are,
and whoever you would have been, will be sacrificed in the process.
Loyalty to truth is more important that loyalty to
principles.
Your
principles change as you learn and grow but truth never altars and must never be
ignored.
A good church should attract both the good and the bad
but neither should remain the same.
Stress is when the mind worries the
body.
