Intimacy

"Our intimacy with God - His highest priority for our lives - determines the impact of our lives." Life principle #1 by Charles Stanley

The Favor of God

It was said of the apostolic church, "The favor or great blessing of God was upon them ..." Acts 4:33

I want the "great blessing - the favor of God" to be on my life and I want this for you as well. His blessing and favor can open doors of opportunity far greater than we would dare to imagine. Likewise, His favor withheld would quickly send our life into a downward spiral with no end in sight.

Attitude by Charles Swindall

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company...church...a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is attitude...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it, and so it is with you...WE ARE IN CHARGE OF OUR ATTITUDES."

Off to work - with a prayer and a song.

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer." Psalm 19:4

True Wealth

A poor man who loves Jesus, has great wealth and will one day walk the streets of gold.
A rich man without Christ, is a spiritual pauper, to be greatly pitied, for he possesses nothing of eternal value and his future is unimaginably horrible.

After all, "It's not how much we have that really matters. It's how much of us HE has."

Luke 12:15 & 21

How good it is!

"But as for me, how good it is to be near God! I have made the Soverign Lord my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do." Psalm 73:28

My Life Was Changed Forever, I'll Never Be the Same

I met Jesus and my life was changed completely. It happened over 40 years ago. I can tell you the place, the date and the hour. It's hard to understand just what led up to that transformational encounter but I think it might have begun months earlier when I heard a man quote this invitation, "Come now, let us argue this out," says the LORD. "No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can make you as clean as freshly fallen snow. Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you as white as snow." Isaiah 1 verse 18
