The Power of Easter

The power of Easter wasn't what we did, but what Jesus did. Those who plotted to kill Jesus felt pretty cocky when they nailed him to the cross. But, their mission wasn't complete. They needed him in the tomb for more than three days. Why? Because, Jesus said he would be raised in three days. If he came out of the tomb alive in three days, He would truly be the son of God. If He came out of the tomb in three days, those who plotted to kill him murdered the son of God. There was a considerable amount of time, energy, and money spent to ensure that he never rose again. But, He was truly the son of God! The tomb couldn't hold him; death couldn't handle him. Therefore, fear not! He rose with all power in heaven and on the earth. He promised each of us that we can experience the power of Easter every single day. Just have faith!

The Greatest Institution on the planet!

Yes. the institution of marriage is the greatest institution on the planet. It's been around longer than IBM, Aflac, Total Systems, and the great USA. This enduring institution has existed for thousands of years, and has given birth to some of the brightest, and religious minds the world has ever known. Admittedly, it has been given a bad rap by a few people- but this too shall pass! Our creator established this enduring institution from the very beginning. Why, because a soul mate completes us! Adam wasn't complete until Eve; Abraham wasn't complete until Sarah. Marriage is that method of completion; the proper soul mate must be willing to commit and pledge their heart in loyalty, to forsake all others for the sake of their happiness and fulfilment.

Living Fearlessly in 2010

If God be for us, who can stand against us! A Shepherd boy by the name of David, stood up against an incredible giant. The odds were against him: he wasn't a fighter, he was too small, to weak, and inexperience. But he didn't stand up to the giant in his own name, but in the name of the Lord! For the believer, the Lord is the rock of your Salvation. As long as you're standing on that Rock, you're standing on a sure foundation. Therefore, don't be afraid to dream, to dare, to hope, and to strive. Live without fear; you have nothing to fear but fear itself. REMEMBER, God didn't give you a spirit of fear, but of love and of power, and a sound mind!

Out with the old!

It's official; we're here! We knew it was coming; we knew that the law of eventuality would walk us right through the front door of the New Year! Whether we like it or not, we are forced to make a few decisions: change or remain the same. To get something you have never had, you must be willing to do something you have never done! Quite simply, make new habits. The new year offers the greatest opportunity to examine our habits. We really don't decide our future; we decide our habits, and our habits decide the future. The secret to your success is hidden within your daily routine. Therefore, decide to make intimacy with God a daily habit. The bible say, we plan, but God brings it to pass! In God's hands is your future, in your hands are the seeds. Make the seeds you plant in the New Year the seeds of new habits. Your future depends on it!

Merry Christmas

We have all heard the old saying: Jesus is the reason for the season! Yes he is! Without Christ, there could be no "Christ"mas. Christmas day serves as a reminder to all believers of the greatest gift mankind could have ever been given, a Savior. We needed someone who could possibly save us from ourselves. I am personally thankful that He (God) sent His son the Christ to save me from my self!

The Road to Wealth

I have good news and bad news. First the good news, if you make at least $25,000 a year in personal income, during your lifetime over $1,000.000 dollars will flow through your fingers. That’s a lot of money. You would essentially be a lifetime millionaire. Now the bad news, if you’re like most American’s, you will have spent it all by the end of your earning years. How is that possible? Frankly, we’re not taught about this necessary life skill. Most of what we know about money, we learned from the school of "hard knocks." Fear not, I have more good news! Building wealth is easier than you think! Christians naturally develop the two keys nececassy to build wealth: (1) discipline (2) Consistency. Being a good Christian requires discipline; being a sucessful Christian throughout your lifetime requires consistency. Likewise, developing a financial plan requires discipline; building wealth over time requires consistency. Ready to display money discipline, start right now developing a money plan, and consistently lay a side a little money each week as a seed. Let that seed grow into a mighty money tree, then you will have the financial strength to complete God's instruction for your life!

You were created for a purpose

God planned you;there is nobody else just like you. Nobody else can do what you do, the way you do it! You are absolutely perfect and genetically accurate for God's purpose in your life. You are unlike anyone else on earth-imagine that! God is a creator, not a duplicator. You were created for purpose, and your purpose is to solve a problem. Everything God created, solves a problem: Doctors solve medical problems, lawyers solve legal problems, mechanics solve car problems. You are somebodies solution. Someone needs what you have been given by God. That makes you a reward; you are not a reward for everyone, but you are a reward for those to whom you have been sent. Therefore, celebrate your worth! You are significant to the people in your sphere of influence. The next time you get all teary eyed over someone you have just helped, remember that you have just fulfilled a purpose.
