I always had in mind what I believed would bring me contentment, house with a white-picket fence and 2.5 children. God however had other plans for me than my picture-perfect idea of what I thought satisfaction was. I struggled for years accepting that my life had turned out differently than I had hoped. I lost my contentment by focusing on all my desires that were unfulfilled.
Not that I speak in regard to need, for I learned in whatever state I am, to be content. I know how t

And so I suppose, all of us, at some time or another have, been frustrated that we've been discouraged and, that we've been tempted to quit we tried hard, but we didn't immediately get the results. We expected. Therefore, we declare you know what I tried it didn't work. I quit now, who am I talking to out there? I tried didn't work, so I quit
The struggles of life have pilfered the life out of your life and you don't know where to turn and quite honestly, you don't know, if faith is worth the ri
Every man has been called by God to biblical manhood, not merely to male-ness. There can be a difference between being a male and being a man Being a man has to do with owning your responsibility under God and having God as your authority. When you forsake that definition ``under God,'', then you have compromised the true definition of manhood and you've actually settled for being a male. It is absolutely critical that you understand like in a good football game. You'Ve been drafted, You've been
In many ways the world, as we once knew, it really has forever changed as a result of this global pandemic, and even though we've taken massive steps towards getting back to some kind of normalcy, there's still so much unknown isn't there. What if another wave comes back, when will there be a vaccine? what, if jobs, don't return? Will my kids be safe at school, the unknown and the uncertainty is scary.
And if you've found yourself at any point of all of this craziness feeling fear, that's unders
A Chicago woman was stunned by one patron's radical generosity. Nicole Thompson works as a teacher and has a second job as a bartender at a restaurant to help pay the bills. One day she received over a thousand percent tip from the same person totaling $ 1,500.

So today we are going to talk about characteristics of a godly woman and if you are a woman, what you should strive for, and maybe if you are a guy, if you're a man of God what you should look for in a woman. I'm really excited to Tell you guys about the characteristics that I come up with and what I personally strive to obtain. I have five here, so, let's get into it.
1. So my first characteristic is that she's lost in the Lord. Matthew 6 says that we should seek first, his kingdom and his righ
Men really do matter. Men are critical to the well-being of their families, to the strength of their churches, and to the order of our culture and our society. It is critical that men understand this unique and special place and responsibility that God has given us. That doesn't make us better than women, but the reason God created Adam first was that he would bear the shoulder of responsibility. The key to manhood is responsibility under God, and so God set a man aside, Adam, to give him instru

"Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God,

You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely? But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
"God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to

"I'm speechless, in awe—words fail me.Job 40:3
I should never have opened my mouth!
I've talked too much, way too much.
I'm ready to shut up and listen."
In the above passage, prior to Job being rendered speechless...he had approached and questioned God. When God begins to respond Job snaps back to reality and realizes who he is talking to. When confronted with God's awe, power and majesty
Get the word out. Teach all these things. And don't let anyone put you down because you're young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity. Stay at your post reading Scripture, giving counsel, teaching. And that special gift of ministry you were given when the leaders of the church laid hands on you and prayed—keep that dusted off and in use.1 Timothy 4:11-14 (The Message)
It's all about Representation. Jesus c
"According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise Master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it.
But let one take heed how he builds on it." I Corinthians 3:10. New King y(NKJV).
The above quoted verse are the words of Apostle Paul to saints of the Lord in Corinth as well as every Saint of Christ today everywhere. These words have to do with ministry, ministration and ministers. As a result of this, let us apply its relevance to building a

When Starting a New Challenge it is important that you have a strategy and motivation.
A rock climber cannot just start climbing the side of a mountain without first examining the terrain. They must find the best route to the top, which way will be the safest? As we start a new challenge we must determine what our Goals are and what will keep us going when we get tired? A rock climber cannot decide what to do after they get tired. You cannot decide what to do after y
