You’re Life Is NOW!
You’ve heard it said before … ”Yesterday is gone, Tomorrow is not here yet, but you do have TODAY!” I would suggest that all you have is NOW. Don’t waste NOW. Be on guard NOW. Dream big NOW! Do great NOW! Don’t cry NOW! Be excited NOW! Make money NOW! Do unto others the way […]
Serve Well, Rule Better
You have been called to Serve Well in order to Rule Better! When you are faithful over a few things, Jesus said He’d make you a Ruler over many things (Mt. 25:23). Don’t get the order mixed up. Remember: first it’s Serve, then it’s Rule. I find people who want to be the “chief servant,” […]
Take the RISK
If you are a man or woman of God, “I’m Positive” that it’s time for you to RISK what you can’t stop thinking about. These thoughts are from the Lord. You are a worshipper of Jesus and so take them as from the Lord. Now act on it! Take the RISK. See what God will […]
More New Strength
I am POSITIVE that I have “More NEW Strength” than I’ve ever had in my life. Is it because I’m working out more? No! Is it because I have more money? No! Is it because I have the best of friends? No! I have more NEW strength than ever before because I’VE PLACED ALL OF […]
I’m POSITIVE, some “Good Things” last forever!
You’ve heard it said that all good things must come to an end, but I don’t believe that’s true. The Bible says, “And now these three remain (last forever): faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love” (1 Cor. 13:13). There were some who didn’t believe Robyn’s and my love would last, […]
I Will … if GOD will help me.
The WILL of a man or woman is potentially full of both good or bad intentions. But make NO mistake, anything really good or really wretched starts with Your WILL. To do anything really good, YOU have to have God say “I WILL help You.” As I write this morning, I’m thinking that you have […]
TIMING
Do you believe things happen by accident? I DON’T either. That means God has a plan for You and Me! Here’s how it works. You and I do what we know to do without quitting, then, when we least expect it and in His perfect TIMING, it happens. “IT” is the thing you needed to […]

Always … THINK AGAIN!
I hear people say all the time, “I wasn’t WRONG!” The truth is they probably weren’t wrong, they were only half right! THINK AGAIN. Is there another side to the story? Think about this for instance, one’s view of sociology is often tied to their political persuasion, and vice versa. And, if you think about […]
Believe That You Have It
Somebody once said, “If you can’t handle STRESS, you’ll never manage SUCCESS!” There are a couple of quick things I want to say about STRESS.
1) Stress is a layering of issues in your everyday life that build up to the point that you feel as though you’re “ON EDGE.” When that happens to me, I stop what I’m doing and stand up. I take three deeps breaths and hold each one for a short while, and then I walk. Walk until you can think clearly.
2) Stress can produce FEAR. We’ve heard it before, FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real. When that happens, begin to confess out loud, “Lord I know you won’t put more on me than I can handle today!” That’s in reference to the powerful promise found in 1 Corinthians 10:13!
Today, should the STRESS get you down, 1st – Walk It Off, then 2nd – Confess It Off! Remember, SUCCESS is heading YOUR way!
