Change

Change

  Over the years I’ve learned that change is one of the more difficult aspects of life for many of us. When younger, change offered a bit of spice to life and seemingly made it more interesting. What I did not realize during those early years was that variety rarely allowed one to savor the true essences of many of life’s more valuable experiences. I am not sure that I truly understood the concept of quantity verses quality. I think…

The Presidential Election

The Presidential Election

We are only two weeks away from the election of a new government. I can see temperatures rising in people who are normally more reserved as we see our country taking turns that would never have been anticipated when I was young.

We talked about the fact that having desires is not the core issue, because God places desires in our hearts to drive us to accomplish what He created us to be. The challenge is the mindset with which we approach those desires and if we are allowing God’s Spirit to direct them and multiply them so we achieve more (for His Kingdom) than we could ordinarily accomplish on our own. Knowing…

Ambition

Ambition

As we have dug deeper and deeper into walking with and in God’s Spirit I have tried to share with you some of the key elements that (I believe) will have a significant impact on your character. During your spiritual walk with God, he takes your genetics and cultural influences and magnifies them with His Spirit. What happens is a multiplication of all those elements brought together. Plainly, God uses His Spirit to enlarge and enhance the natural creation by…
