Richard Ellis Talks

The workplace can introduce relationships that aren't healthy to a Christ follower's marriage. What may start as innocent behavior can turn into dangerous territory, as the enemy would like nothing more than to tear down the trust and unity between spouses!

As a Christ follower, we should be a reflection of Him at work. Instead of gossiping about others, or making ourselves look better than we are, let's be diligent in our work and remember that ultimately we’re working for God!

God offers us life. God offers us hope. God offers us peace. There's NO CONDEMNATION in that equation! So, with that in mind, what are a few things that you feel He'd like to see lived out in your life?

Becoming a Christ follower happens in an instant - the moment we invite Him into our life. Living as a Christ follower is a process - making small changes as we learn to be more like Him. Start small in obedience, and He'll use you in mighty ways!

We've all most likely heard the story of the 2 men, one who built his house on the sand, and the other who built his house on the rock. Trials are an inevitable part of life, but when God's our foundation, He gives us the strength to stand firm against the crashing waves!

Becoming "born again" is the spiritual version of a physical new birth, in such a way that the new believer needs to be cared for and nurtured by mature Christ followers. The discipleship process is vital to the health of the Church and the continuation of the Great Commission!

Connecting the dots on what God's Word illuminates to us takes these 3 main areas of commitment: regular reading/study time, letting God speak to us while we read, and seeking out other mature believers to help us understand what we read.

Being a doer of the Word includes serving others, despite their "spiritual cleanliness"! We're ALL dirty until we're washed by Jesus' atoning blood. So let's serve others the same way that Jesus served us when He went to the cross on our behalf.

If we're seeking God's will for our life, then where we are, doing what we're doing, and being with who we're with, is all part of His plan. There are no "accidental steps" in God's strategy in how He uses those who seek after Him!
