Waiting with Honor
Waiting will bring you face to face with your character. It will expose who really sits on the throne of your life. It will put our honor for God and His timing to the test.
The Long End & Your Citizenship
As a Roman citizen your life, your conduct, your priorities, and your daily living was all shaped by your citizenship as a Roman. It was clear and obvious to all.
Is your heavenly citizenship shaping your life in the same way?
The Long End and Complaining
One of the biggest influences on others is what comes out of our mouths. It says a lot about what is at our core. This is true both for the words we say and the way we say them.
The Long End & Difficulty
How is the long end of the rope impacting the way we view adversity; specifically standing for our faith when we continually swim upstream?
Living the Truth of My Identity
Those are the facts. But it is not enough just to know the facts. If the facts don’t find their way into your life, your behavior, and your outlook they aren’t worth much to you.
Every Day Ordained
God has no less excitement and anticipation for what He predestined you to do than the pastor of the largest church or the writer of countless best-selling Christian books.
Fully Known
When we begin to understand that the GREAT I AM is for us we can live with new confidence and expectancy. He is our biggest advocate.
Lessons from Yahtzee
It isn’t what you have done, where you work, how you look, where you live, how your kids have turned out or what your family history looks like that defines you. It is ONLY what the Creator of the universe, and the creator of you says that defines your true identity.
Game Changing Words: Assurance
The beautiful truth of Scripture is that you can have assurance. The question is, do you?
Game Changing Words: Substitution & Victory
Substitution and Victory. Two words that can change the course of your life today, tomorrow, and forever.
Game Changing Words: Forgiveness
Forgiveness is one of the hardest things we are called to do. It is also one of the most freeing and healing. It is critical to our spiritual, relational, emotional, and even physical health.
Loving Your Neighbor
If we are loving God with all our hearts it will naturally change the way we notice and love others. The love of God will capture our free time, our wallets, our willingness to leave our comfort zones, and our outlook on the future.
Love Close to Home
In other words, others, including your family, will take notice. Love and faithfulness then are not things we do, but rather a way of living. Living and loving this way results in actions that demonstrate the validity of our faith to those around us.
Champion of Love
Our understanding of God does not change the facts about God. His love is real. It will transform your life like nothing else ever will. You can’t outrun it or do anything to make him feel otherwise about you.
Honoring the Giver of Your Dreams
The same is true for our big life dreams. The dreams are not more important than the giver of those dreams. God gives us these dreams as a way to honor Him and impact the world for Him.
The Choice You Must Make
As you begin the process of looking at “what could he” and take small steps forward you will have to choose courage over comfort time and again. You will have to choose it when you can’t see a clear outcome.
Don't Disqualify Yourself
Friend, the same is true for you. No matter your past, your mistakes, your failures, God has not forgotten. He says to you just as he said to the Jewish exiles over 2700 years ago, I know the plans I have for you “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Welcome to the New MMM
So, our goal is to apply Scripture and Scriptural principles to each day of the week, starting Monday mornings. I want to help us all get our week off to an intentional, positive, and purposeful beginning and have that carry on thru Friday. As the tag line says, “Starting and Finishing Your Week on Purpose”.
