Pastor's Moments

Have you ever thought much about leadership? Nothing happens without leadership, in the home, at the office, on the job, in the ministry – whatever. Well, we’re all leaders in some way or other. And I’ve found essentially three levels of leadership in all walks of life.

What have you been putting off? A sales call, a kind word, time with your family? Remember, faith is always now!

How many times have you found that a fight started in your house because you held a grudge? Forgiveness is a powerful step toward peace. It dissolves any argument you have against someone. Jesus said Blessed are the peacemakers; not the troublemakers. Who do you need to forgive today?

If there's one thing I have learned, it is that the Christian life is full of paradoxes that my human mind just can’t figure out. One of them is this: Right after Jesus, in His sermon on the mount, said blessed are the peacemakers, He then said blessed are you when you are persecuted.

Do you want to be a success in life? Of course, you do. And all it really takes is three bones. That’s right…three bones! WISHBONE … JAWBONE … BACKBONE

There are dream stealers out there in the world today. Has someone told you, “It’s too late - you’re too old” or “too young” or too “something” to make your dream come true? Well today, your dream is going to be revived.

The Bible gives us all kinds of signs directing us to the wealthy place. Deuteronomy 8:18 says, "But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swear unto thy fathers, as it is this day." God is not careless in what He says. He means every word. He said plainly He has given you and me the power to get wealth.

Many people are distressed today. Their nerves are shattered over family, financial, or other problems. Distress actually means to be tormented and worn down; feeling trapped. It’s awful and can zap all your energy reserves, leaving you exhausted. But there’s a way of escape.

Sometimes we just feel like giving up - like throwing in the towel. Have you ever felt like that? If so, listen to this from the late John Garlock.

Have you ever found your life tangled up in such a mess you feel like choking? I think we’ve all experienced that. _______________ Welcome to the Pastor’s Moments, designed to lift your day with award-winning, best-selling author Dr. Dave Williams.
