I explain a special offer (with a 100% Money Back Guarantee) to those interested in building wealth and willing to invest in a newly discovered stock. Incredible as it sounds this stock has the potential of a 5x to 10x return on your investment. You must have a stock trading account or open one as soon as possible to take advantage of the smart money pouring into this low-priced stock. I've already doubled my money but I could double or triple my initial investment and so might you.

NOTE: This stock has already doubled from when I bought it just 2-3 months ago and tripled from when it bottomed at 75 cents. So I fully expect it to soar higher in the next 6-12 months but you can keep it longer term or trade it as you wish.

In this video I explain how I first came across this book by Dale Carnegie called "How To Win Friends and Influence People" (15 million copies sold) which is an excellent study of human relations and how to get along with people. Then I explain how I first started memorizing bible verses.

In this video I quote one of my favorite bible verses that I learned as a teenager. Do you know this verse? If not then I encourage you to learn it today. It's easy and has practical implications.

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all yourr heart and lean not unto your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths."

Greetings, friends! Today, we dive into Romans 11:36 and explore its profound truth: "For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to whom be glory forever. Amen."

Key Points Covered:

What does it mean that all things are for God’s glory?

Insights from Robert Haldane’s classic commentary on Romans.

Why our purpose is centered on God’s glory, not our own happiness.

How the sovereignty of God, redemption through Christ, and sanctification by the Spirit come together for His glory.

Reflections on sin, redemption, and how even our failures are used for God’s greater plan.

Practical Takeaways:

The importance of focusing on God’s glory in daily life.

The role of faith, not works, in our justification and sanctification.

Why prayer changes us rather than changing God.

In this video I talk about setting goals using the acronym SMART. What are some of your present or past goals? I mention some of my past achievements and delve a bit into some goals you might have considered. Jim Rohn used the acronym SMART which makes goal setting easier to remember.

S=Specific

M=Measurable

A=Attainable

R=Realistic

T=Time

Last Thursday I felt the beginning of some sickness but after 5 days I am doing better and so I thought I should record another message even though my voice is not quite back to normal.

In this video I ask a question that seldom gets asked today. How did the religious rulers of his day treat Jesus I also cover some choice ideas from the late Warren Wiersbe.
