A lot can happen in one year, for good or bad. There are things that we have learned and there are things we are trying to unlearn. Despite where life may have taken you, the good news is that God is in the business of rebuilding. There is nothing too impossible for God, if we let him in to our lives.

One thing we know is to be true about God, he is a God of structure and order. We all are governed by the power of time, yet God lives outside of it. Yet despite that being true, God chose to confine himself to time in order to bring to salvation all of mankind.

Self control is an area in our lives we all need help in. Unfortunately the world disregards self control as a major priority. Focusing only on the immediate and not on the eternal. The good news is there is a way we can prepare ourselves and not allow the temptations that come to overwhelm us.

Motivation is a multi billion dollar industry, why? Because we are all very lazy. God uses those who are willing to get their hands dirty and aren’t afraid of hard work. There is a a lot of work to be done for the kingdom of God. Are you willing to help?

There are people living under a sentence of rejection, abandonment, anger. Yet Jesus’ purpose was to set us free from all physical and emotional bondages. The answer is found in Jesus.

Lying is a sin, lying to yourself is destructive. This is why the bible requires us to be speakers of truth, this is the path to maintaining a stable mind.

There is great revelation we can draw from when it comes to the story of eutychus. The important principle we must all learn is; it’s never wise to be sitting on the fence. Eutychus was half in church half out, the challenge is to fully immerse ourselves in the presence of God.

Circumstance in life and people can draw the worst in us. When we get hurt we are prone to want to hurt back. Truth is as Christians we are challenged not to react the way the world would react, but act as the father in heaven would. This is the greatest challenge but the most rewarding.

More effort needs to be put on the state of our spirit but for us to do this we must grasp the significant roles our soul and body play. A biblical principle has always been feed the spirit and starve the flesh. The more directed by the spirit the less influence our lower nature has. Which means the little the devil has to accuse you of.

Security is something we all seek. The problem is that many times we look in all the wrong places. If we are ever going to be able to dwell in safety and experience pure joy, it has to be submitted to the one true God.
