Today is one portion of your life that will never be returned.
Service is the activity ingredient of mercy.
The only thing that can be forgiven is what I have chosen; God has already chosen to forgive whaevert I ask.
What I forgive on earth will be forgiven in Heaven...what you can't He won't.
Heaven and Hell are both beyond our imagination... for different reasons.

2012-01-31T08:38:00.000-05:00

Grace means you are no longer required.
Open the door of joy and you will find peace.People are not drawn to the church because the church does not suffer well.
What I do becomes the billboard of my life.Grace cannot be comprehended, only appreciated.

2012-01-30T08:27:00.002-05:00

War is an example of corporate anger.
Even a just cause needs anger to fuel it.How often you do right may not be known for a while; how often you do wrong will be easier to remember on earth.
A shared blessing is growing love.
Grace helps you live life like you should, rather than how you would.

2012-01-29T08:11:00.001-05:00

God is in charge of the boundaries of your life.
Humility is the only antidote for pride.
Pride is the greed of character.

Sanctification has a beginning but has no end on earth.

2012-01-28T08:56:00.004-05:00

Truth is for you to live above the pain caused by the false.
Fate is only for the hopeless. God's will is for the belivers!
Luck only exists in the minds of the faithless.
God provides no luck, only blessings.
Luck is a plan for bypassing God

2012-01-27T09:04:00.000-05:00

Ignoring the truth is to apply for ignorance.
Truth does not need your approval.Truth is never absent, only set aside.
Happiness is not necessarily the absence of pain.Joy comes from knowing that happiness does exist.

2012-01-26T09:10:00.000-05:00

How good can I be is the wrong question. How good can God make me is the correct question.
Forgiveness is a precursor to happiness.Self-sacrifice for no reason is purposeless.
It is not necessary to think less of yourself to think more of others.Fleeing the truth only puts you further behind.

2012-01-25T08:22:00.000-05:00

Wrong only prospers when right is ignored by the masses.
To “catch a falling star” one must be on guard at night. What is next to impossible is still possible.
Beauty without character is "Double ugly". The value of being important is less, that the importance of being valuable.

2012-01-24T08:34:00.000-05:00

Doing right is right, even is does not feel right.
It is better to love than to remain unloving.Only measure yourself from where you are today.
Pay attention to your GPS (God Prompted Service.)If you do what is right, wrong will always resist you.

2012-01-23T08:48:00.001-05:00

Happiness rises out of a careful consideration of your blessings.
Forgiveness clears the clogged arteries of your spiritual heart.
Living is your only opportunity to persue happiness.
Pain demands your attention and saps your faith, but need not define your life.
A little good covers a lot of bad

2012-01-22T07:11:00.001-05:00

Walk boldly where Satan says you can’t and with trepidation were he says you can.
People often confuse “cannot” with “will not.”
While the “price may be right,” the cost may not be.
A true songs of joy still must be heard with the heart.
There are more opportunities than opportunists.

2012-01-21T08:59:00.001-05:00

Faith and hope bring life; forfeit neither.
Friends see value where others see failure.
Negotiate ideas, not principles.
Love keeps on giving, while like, surrenders at first fight.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and in the mind of the believer.

2012-01-20T08:21:00.000-05:00

Flattery is often a smokescreen for jealousy.
We are born with a desire to do good and a propensity to do wrong.Love only comforts those willing to be comforted.
Friends are still an anchor, even when the boat is gone.A twisted truth is a dastardly brew.

2012-01-19T08:15:00.000-05:00

Someone who is jealous never understands their own gifts or blessings.

Faith can move mountains, doubt can create them.

A heart that can love the unlovable has been properly trained.

Envy is“soured” jealousy.

To be right do right, to stay right, do right

2012-01-18T08:15:00.000-05:00

God wants to invest you in something your church is doing or should be doing.

Faith is your treasure, time your asset, and love: the message of your life’s journey.

When you are younger, older is the only place you can go!

Doing good is just plain fun!

It takes a gentle man to raise a strong one.

2012-01-17T09:33:00.002-05:00

Satisfaction comes not from waiting for what you want but from enjoying what you have.

If you want to increase your value, increase your Faith.

2012-01-16T10:02:00.000-05:00

Happiness is the fizz of life, and joy: the sweetness.

The life of a church is a never-ending journey.

Time is a gift that only you can invest.

When your happiness exceeds your understanding, joy is at your doorstep.

The unknown for a Christian is already covered.

2012-01-15T08:55:00.000-05:00

Your Christian life is designed to nourish others.

Braille Faith is better than no faith.

Hope, for there will always be much to hope for!

Hope alone will not get you where you ought to be; it will takes action as well.

Church unity means that people must be willing to be less important than they want to be!

2012-01-14T06:58:00.000-05:00

The impossible still is held in the Hand of God.

The journey is not the destination.

Love is an artisan well of hope and faith.

Does your life contain enough spiritual strength to replenish another’s?

Extravagant love is a step in the right direction.

2012-01-13T08:55:00.000-05:00

Good is what you can do; better, is what you strive to accomplish.

Love is not as costly as it is priceless.

Unity is a choice, division is also a choice.

You can miss the prize by doing the right things in the wrong way.

Braid faith, hope, and love together, and no power can break it.

2012-01-12T09:19:00.000-05:00

God-Speak” is understood in all languages, but often best said by you, by doing.

How are the sheep in your flock?

Who in my life is suffering because of me?

Tarry by faith near the heart of a needy loved one or an unloved one!

Others around my life also reap what I sow!

2012-01-11T08:07:00.001-05:00

Christians often receive, before they give, because they will give.

Hearing from God is one thing; listening to Him is another.

A friend will not only go through your valleys, but climbs the mountains with you, as well.

Doubt is the soil of fear.

You are the bridge to God for someone, for whom, when, and how often, is mostly your choice!

2012-01-10T08:31:00.000-05:00

Fear spreads easier than faith.

Your surrender brings your miracles.

It is when I forget I live in God’s presence, that I am tempted to do wrong.

We do reap what we sow, so if I refuse to sow Faith, I am destined to be faithless.

Be open minded only to truth!

2012-01-09T08:14:00.000-05:00

Prayer is the process of putting God in His rightful place in your life.

Your future is either in God’s hands or being ruined by another.

Loyalty is a mixture of love, hope, and faith.

Every moment of your life is significant!

Change your life from a “fear dominated” to a “Grace driven” life.

2012-01-08T08:42:00.000-05:00

Leaders have the ability to make you feel you belong.

Leadership allows the leader to shift that message to others.

Improvement is the hardest tool to grasp, master, and apply.

“God-Speak” is always available, but often easier heard in adversity.

Does God occupy the landscape of your life? Is it obvious to others?

2012-01-07T08:27:00.001-05:00

God makes those not good enough, to be good enough, because the good enough, don’t do enough!

There is no easy time or easy way to exercise Faith.

Unity in your church is you finding a way to fit.

Every breath is a gift; what you do with that breath is your testimony.

Is it always neccessary to “Shoot the believers before they backslide!”... er …I sure hope not!

2012-01-06T08:55:00.000-05:00

Christian, what is your purpose in life, other than getting into Heaven?

What influence you have, use it for God!

You cannot deny God now and expect Him to reward you later. (You won’t like the reward if you do!)

A willing heart is a gift of God; obedience is your gift to Him.

Being willing to be willing is the key to spiritual and personal progress.

2012-01-04T07:43:00.000-05:00

Life is good but knowing God makes it wonderful!

The Holy Spirit is the greatest windfall prophet!

Have you ever tried to keep warm next to a lukewarm Christian? Don’t make others try either!

Are you walking on some water in your faith life, or staying in the boat?

Are you rocking the boat of being an anchor?

2012-01-03T08:52:00.000-05:00

Praying for forgiveness before the fact, never excuses it.

Christians must premeditate sin, because they already know it is sin.

Turning from wrong is one thing; doing right is quite another!

Hope is an orphan until you claim it.

Faith works best when you get to work.

2012-01-02T08:48:00.000-05:00

This New Year, God, gives you meaning; it is up to you to make this year meaningful.

Life tends to be full of accomplishments of little value.

A wise man wins souls; a foolish man only makes money.

Faith plus work equals accomplishment, while faith plus God, equals a miracle.

Gold is kinship, frankincense is God, myrrh is sacrifice; the wise men brought them all to lay at the feet of Baby Jesus.

2012-01-01T08:48:00.000-05:00

It is a New Year full of new blessing from God or new consequences for ignoring Him.

It is best to love what God loves and who God loves this year.

A New Year 366 Days of new moments for new memories; what shall I make them to be.

I have more choices for good in this New Year than I often want to accept responsibility!
May the anticipations of this New Year be as full of promise on December 31^st as they are on January 1^st!

2012 with God will be a tremendously wonderful experience; without Him disappointments and missed opportunities will be the signs of the times.

2011-12-31T08:50:00.002-05:00

Try not to confuse what you want, with what is good for you.

Learn not to be resistant to “God Thoughts.”

Being constantly grateful, brings gratitude.

Light or darkness pivots on your willingness to embrace or resist a thought.

Never ask Jesus to bless what God can’t.

2011-12-29T08:53:00.001-05:00

Don’t blink when things seem bleak; pray!

God is busier, not because you can’t, but because you won’t.

Might is to do right, not to be made right.

Every tear is of equal value, but the causes for that tear may have little in common with its value,

Contentment means you want more for others, than you want for yourself.

2011-12-28T09:13:00.000-05:00

Stress takes from you and leaves less for you.

You have to accept stress, for it to become stressful.

Stress comes from you knowing you should do, or others thinking you should.

Good stress causes you to do something; bad stress paralyzes you.

Stress is the emotion of expectations.

2011-12-27T08:54:00.000-05:00

Share what you can, with who you can, before you can’t.

Loving your enemies is the work of strong men!

If your goal is a Faith goal, is t is a safe goal.

Life can only be lived forward, never in reverse.

If you can do and will not do, don’t fret when life sours.

2011-12-26T08:45:00.003-05:00

Effort brings a difference in my life; indifference brings disarray.

Allowing sin in your life is excusing the inexcusable.

To have a life, you must live above your weaknesses.

Weaknesses do not cause you to fail, but catering to them will!

A Christian learns to differentiate between needs and wants.

Christmas was not about what you get or what you gave but what Jesus did and what He gave for you.

2011-12-25T09:39:00.000-05:00

Christmas is about giving, not to please, but to heal.

Christmas is the beginning of the laboratory of love.

Whatever you gave this Christmas season cost you less than what Jesus gave.

Without Christmas there would have been no Easter!

Jesus came because God the Father loved you more than you deserved!

2011-12-24T08:56:00.001-05:00

Guilt is not aimed at you, but at your sin.
Guilt is given for your repentance or is increased by your lack of it.
An excuse is not a reason, and a reason is not an excuse.
Are you keeping Satan busy enough to give someone else a break?
If your comfort is not from The Comforter, it is not very comforting.

2011-12-23T09:48:00.002-05:00

It is because of your weaknesses that God offered to make you strong.

Everyone worships; who or what do you worship?

A shrine can never be a Savior!

God gives you what you need; Satan tries to offer what you want.

Wants never satisfy needs.

2011-12-21T08:54:00.000-05:00

Doing wrong kindly, is still wrong.

Doing right for revenge, is still wrong but the right thing to do.

Doing right for selfish reasons, will not bring the results you wanted.

Right is always right, but its delivery can be totally wrong.

Wrong is always wrong, even if it was done for the right reasons.

2011-12-20T08:46:00.002-05:00

Satisfaction is a committed choice.

Cursed is he who makes merry of another’s misery.

Some people have earned their own misery and deserve it, but that should not bring you delight.

The best forgivers are the forgiven.

Be careful who comes in the front door of your life and place a double guard on the back door.

2011-12-19T21:55:00.000-05:00

Parents: don’t just pray for your children, but pray with them.

Whatever you do to impoverish another is sin and needs to be forgiven.

You will be judged over what and who you love, as well as, what and who you did not love.

When you rob someone of their peace, you tend to steal their hope as well.

What you do with your love will be judged some day

2011-12-18T09:54:00.001-05:00

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.

2011-12-17T08:46:00.003-05:00

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.

2011-12-16T08:48:00.000-05:00

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.

2011-12-15T08:14:00.004-05:00

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.

2011-12-14T08:57:00.001-05:00

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!

2011-12-13T09:28:00.001-05:00

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.

2011-12-12T08:13:00.002-05:00

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

2011-12-11T08:16:00.002-05:00

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.

2011-12-10T08:42:00.002-05:00

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

2011-12-09T07:36:00.001-05:00

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.

2011-12-08T08:40:00.001-05:00

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.

2011-12-07T08:58:00.001-05:00

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?

2011-12-06T08:59:00.003-05:00

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.

2011-12-05T11:54:00.000-05:00

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?"

2011-12-05T08:50:00.001-05:00

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.

2011-12-04T07:13:00.001-05:00

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 gratefulImagination is the result of the connection between soul and spirit..

Creativity is imagination in work clothes.

2011-12-03T08:11:00.001-05:00

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.”

2011-12-02T07:50:00.001-05:00

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.

2011-12-01T09:34:00.003-05:00

Sadness occurs when you forget how blessed you are and will be in the moments ahead.

Sadness happens when you have lost an irreplaceable someone.

Sadness appears when anger exceed happiness.

Joy rules when sadness is relegated to its proper place.

Sadness happens when loss conquers faith.

Sadness can be legitimate but the sheltering of sadness from hope brings depression.

2011-12-01T09:00:00.000-05:00

As a Christian I have mercy without measure, happiness that exceeds expectations, forgiveness I could never deserve. and promises that run throughout eternity. So joy is the result of understanding the blessings we already have and glimpsing to the joy charging our way in the days to come.

Without Jesus there is no redemption.

The failure to love is the ultimate failure in life.

Never settle for what appears to be love, only for what is love.

2011-11-29T08:30:00.001-05:00

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.

2011-11-28T08:11:00.001-05:00

Selfishness is when you allow your importance to overcome value.

For marriage to prosper it must be driven by radical love.

2011-11-27T07:42:00.001-05:00

Weather never effects truth, faith or direction.

2011-11-24T09:03:00.001-05:00

Humility is presenting God with a proper attitude.

Faith allows me to live alive.

2011-11-20T07:22:00.001-05:00

Your attitudes expresses your character.

2011-11-19T08:00:00.003-05:00

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.

As a Christian, I can choose to be with God but I cannot choose to be without Him. He is always before the next breath of a believer, making a way for them to choose success. The choice is still mine to fail or not, but I need not, if I choose not. Success is a combination of God’s preparation for me and my choice to access His plan.

Circumstances never dictate my success, only my opportunities. Spiritual failure is a choice not to do things God’s way; because you cannot fail doing the will of God in your life. It is impossible to do so. Failure is not what you accomplish or what you do not accomplish, but who you are following. Jesus said, “Follow me!” All other choices are subject to that choice. As a Christian, you cannot be placed, sent, or found, where God cannot use you!
use you!
