The Christian life isn't a one time conversion event, rather its a series of conversions. I grow in Christ as I become convinced of His trustworthiness in growing areas of my life. Perhaps the hardest area of life to be converted is our financial life as money is the chief competitor for our heart. When we fail to trust Jesus in this area of life money becomes too important and will eventually hold us captive.

The average person spends around 100,000 hours of their lifetime at work. Many feel like their time spent at work is a necessary means to an end, but what if we began looking at work differently. Surprisingly the bible has incredible insight into "how we should view work", "how we should approach our work" and "who are we working for". The answers to those question just might change the way we spend our 100,000 hours on the job.

Guard your heart because it is the wellspring of life, our identity & our belief system.

"A Good Man"
There is probably no greater compliment to give a man than to tell him he is a "good man". Father's day is a great opportunity to let the men in our lives know how much they mean to us and an opportunity for every man to evaluate their lives and commit themselves to become a "vessel of honor".

The Problem with Pride
We all struggle with it, some are oblivious to it others are painfully aware of it's grip and the destruction that comes as a result of it. The problem with pride is that it cant be dealt with it must be destroyed.

Self control is hard. No one is immune from the powerful effects of our passions and desires and the consequence when they overpower what is wise or right. Proverbs explains that a person who lacks control is vulnerable and defenseless like a city whose walls have fallen down but thankfully there is a promise to believe and a safe place to run to.

Wise Fear We all have fears, sometimes they are justified but most of the time they are irrational. The Bible prescribes a starting point for wisdom and it begins with the right kind of fear.

Bad decisions have bad consequences. We've all experienced it and would all like to experience it less. We all want and need guidance in life instead of making a bad decision and thinking "I'll be wiser next time" we can learn to "be wiser this time" if we pursue the wisdom God has made available to us.
