When we talk about currency you are probably thinking the Dollar, the Euro, the Yen or the like but you would be wrong. None of those are our most valuable currency. Our most valuable currency is our time because once you have used your time, you can never get that back. Each of has has the same currency, it is 1440 minutes each day. To some people, that is just a number and to others … Continue reading
What do you do when you feel called by God, but it is completely the opposite direction of where you are going? Some people don’t believe that God will change your direction, but I know this to be true. Many times you are working toward your dreams, but it is not the path where God is trying to lead you. I have read many stories where people have been called and, at that moment, they … Continue reading
As I look at the Christian world I am always baffled at how many people in their 40′s & 50′s are overlooked for preaching. I see many churches who are looking for that young buck and many times they get someone whose foundation isn’t there yet. They have the education but many lack life experience. There are so many awesome people of God who are 40 and over who I feel that God is calling … Continue reading
First I would like to point out that anything outside of the one true God is dysfunctional but for this article I want to talk about the 7 most common things that most people use as a God.

Are you taking effective action? What do I mean by effective action? Effective action is action with a purpose. If we are going to live like Jesus then we need to take effective action. Jesus never took action for the sake of action. Everything Jesus did had a purpose behind the action.

Has your pastor become a celebrity to you? Do you see him as almost a God? You may say you don’t but in reality you may treat him as such. Yes we are to respect our pastors but we aren’t supposed to put them on a pedestal. Most pastors don’t want to be put there because they know that they are just human just like you and I. They would prefer to stay low-key but … Continue reading
Do you really believe you are walking with Christ or have you become just a church seat warmer? Many people believe that being a Christian is just about going to church but in reality it is about what you do each day not once a week. We are supposed to be more than just a seat warmer. We are destined for great things but first we must walk with Christ everyday. Church is only supposed … Continue reading

There are so many people who just want to just live life, make their money, raise their kids etc… We all want a safe life but we are not called to a safe life. Nothing significant ever came from a safe life and there is no safety … Continue reading
You may be asking yourself how can severing God be an entitlement? That would be a great question but it does happen. When you serve whether it is on missions, in your church or whatever the place, some privileges come with it sometimes. Sometimes it becomes a self-serving thing. Like for instance, I have to be careful because I sometimes catch myself doing this. I serve at my church and because of that I get … Continue reading
