Have you ever ran into someone in the store and you know immediately that they are not from around here. Maybe they had that “slow southern drawl...” in their voice that is a dead give away that they are from the southern states. Maybe they were from Boston and pronounced all their “R” constants as “W's” you know the ones that “pawk their caw in the cawpowt!!!” It may even be possible that you went somewhere and you stood out because of your vocabulary or accent.

If I was to meet you as a total stranger in the store and strike up a conversation, when our conversation was complete would I leave knowing without a doubt that you were a God fearing Christian? If you were to go to court and be put on trial would your lifestyle be enough to convict you beyond any reasonable doubt of being a Christian.

In his episode you will hear of the importance of your word, actions and attitudes. If your not longing to be a citizen of heaven it will hamper your walk with God here on earth and will harm your witness to those who are not yet heavenly citizens!

Have you ever thought there is no way God can use me? I can give you a long list of reasons why I am not fit to be used by God, but they are simply my lame excuses. In this episode you will learn of people from the bible that were total failures that God used to to great things as well as a couple modern day  ordinary people that God used to do extraordinary things.

There is literally nothing we can do to disqualify ourselves from being a candidate who God chooses to work through. God chooses those the world considers foolish to shame those who think they are wise and God chooses the puny and powerless to shame the high and mighty and God can use you!

In this episode we will learn how as a Christian you must love everyone even your worst enemy.  How can we call ourselves Christians if we don't love someone enough to share the message of God's salvation with them. If you are truly a Christian there is no one you would want to see spend eternity in Hell, where the worm never dies and the flame is never quenched!!!

In this episode we will here the story of the stoning of the apostle Stephen. Stephen couldn't have know how his life and his death would impact the world. His supernatural suffering lead Saul of Tarsus, who later became Paul on the road to Damascus, onto becoming one of the most prolific writers of the bible.

We don't always have the privilege of knowing how the events of our lives will shape the world around us, but what we say and do matters! Your life matters! You never know who is watching you and how what you say or do, or what you don't say or do may impact someone's life for all or eternity.

What will you do with the life you have been given?

I am so glad that I had parents that loved me despite all my faults and I can tell you that as a teen I had a lot of faults. I drank alcohol in excess, I smoked marijuana, I drove my car at break neck speeds, I lived like I was 10 foot tall and bullet proof. To this day I can not explain why my parents loved me because I did everything possible to make myself unlovable!!! 

Of all the things God could gift you with on this earth when he returns only 3 will remain, “Faith, Hope and Love” and of these three things love is the greatest gift!!! So if you truly want to be succeed in this world ask God to give you the gift of LOVE! Because the gift of LOVE is superior to all other gifts.
