Mercy triumphs over judgement. Ask yourself the question, “Do I judge someone by what they have or do I evaluate them by what they do . . .  how they act?” In other words, treat others as you would want to be treated. In addition, if you break one of God’s laws aren’t you starting […]

Are you integrating your faith into your life? Your deeds represent your faith and faith without action is dead. Are your words empty or are they a call to action? Belief in God is just the beginning . . .  it is a starting point but our faith is only of value if seen and […]

What books do you have on your shelf? The stories of our predecessors, both men and women, whether related orally or written, can set the direction of our faith, remind and reinforce our beliefs, and set the stage for our action. Think about this: Can you respond to what God wants guided just by your […]

The power of the spoken word can change the course of history, lead an organization to success, or destroy those around you, particularly the ones that love you the most. We all have uttered words we wish we could take back because we are human  . . . we are not perfect. What and how […]

Do you say things that set the world on fire around you . .  . not in a positive way, but one that is destructive? It takes but a few words to spark a firestorm. You can destroy someone’s reputation, their wealth, their good name by your words. It’s like a rock thrown into the […]

Many people talk out of both sides of their mouth. We may say something on Wednesday that we would never say in Church on Sunday. Do you fall into that group? Our words should cleanse and heal those around us . . . wash them with what we say to them. Our words should be […]

Do you expect your leaders to be wise, and if so in what way? There is earthy wisdom and wisdom from heaven. The former can provide wisdom of both the good and bad, but not necessarily pure. That only comes from heaven. What we say is who we are. What’s in our heart is expressed […]

Pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy . . . that’s the wisdom from heaven. Remember that the power of wisdom, heard through the spoken word or exhibited by you, can change the course of history — that history may be for another person, your family, or a nation. That kind of wisdom gives people […]

Conflict with others originates because of conflict within yourself. When you pray for something that you covet, that prayer is not going to be answered because your motive is not pure. You want your own way, your own lust or desire is not for God’s honor. Ask yourself how do you begin to fix the […]

Are you a friend of the world? In other words, are the earthly desires greater in your life than being faithful and loyal to God? If you believe in God, the Devil will not be with you, but if you turn to the value system of the world, then you will become an enemy of […]
