Don’t be Surprised!

Don’t be Surprised!

Because the world is in opposition to the Word of God we should not be surprised when politicians make laws that go against God's Word.

Discussion: Let go of your mistakes

Discussion: Let go of your mistakes

When we make mistakes we have to be courageous enough to let them go. Maybe you started a business you should not have, perhaps you said 'yes' to a project that is out of alignment with your calling, or you hired (or partnered with) someone you should not have. In these cases and others, once you realize your mistake, we have to be bold and let go of the project, job, partnership, etc., and trust God to fix the aftermath. Links: Join and/or Partner

Discussion: How to process the US election results

Discussion: How to process the US election results

In the 2020 election believers are voting very differently and are very passionate about their candidate. Each side believes their candidate is God's choice to lead now or is better than the other. Thus, part of the Body of Christ will be upset with the results of the election. There will be celebrations and I told you so’s. Therefore it is important as believers to be aware of how God moves in matters of human leadership, so we can process the results correctly. Links: Join and/or Partner

Pastoral Chat: How has God gifted you to function in your calling?

Pastoral Chat: How has God gifted you to function in your calling?

Knowing what you are called to do is just the first step to success. Once you are clear about your calling, the next question to clarify is, "how has God gifted you to function in your calling?" Do you function as a deep thinker, someone who get things done quickly, someone who thrives under pressure, etc. God can give two people the same calling, but those callings are implemented differently because God gifted them to function differently.

All faith is not real “FAITH” that gets results

All faith is not real “FAITH” that gets results

God has given every human the ability to have faith. Some use this ability to have faith that their education will land them a high paying job. Others have faith that medical doctors can repair something broken in their body. However, they might discover that faith in their education, doctors, etc., does not gain them the desired results. The reason is that faith in anything other than God lacks the power to get results. Links: Join and/or Partner

Pastoral Chat: What if I can't focus?

Focusing on your calling over a significant period of time will bring success. However, for many people focusing on one thing for a long period of time is a challenge. Let's face it: that can be boring. So we have a paradox—focus can be boring, but focusing is required for success. In today's Pastoral Chat, I share three things you can do to help you focus without getting bored. Links: Join and/or Partner

The answer to the question “who are you” holds the key to your inner peace and success. However, many believers have placed their identity in what they do instead of who they are.

To achieve success you have to stop lying to yourself about why you want success

To achieve success you have to stop lying to yourself about why you want success

If you ask most Christians why they want success in business, they’ll say something like, “to make a lot of money, so I can extend the Kingdom of God.” This is a noble motivation, but most Christians who say this are lying to themselves, because they believe God would not approve of their true motive. Here’s the problem: when you lie to yourself about why you want success, you won’t be successful. Success is built on true motives. And guess what, if your true motive is to make a lot of money to have an enjoyable life for you and your family, God is cool with that.

Discussion: Is your faith ready to take that step?

The next step in your calling will move you forward in a mighty way. However, don't take that step until your faith is ready for it. When it comes to faith, we can not fake it until we make it. We all have to be honest about our level of faith, because without the correct level of faith, the next step in our calling will be a disaster. It's better to pause and build up your faith, then take that next step when your faith is ready. Listen to the replay from today's discussion to explore this concept.

Doing the right thing (Grace vs. Law)

There is a big question among believers about following the Law from the old convent verses not following it because we are now under Grace.

Even if God called us to do it, success is not automatic. If we are disobedient in the implementation steps, then success will stay far from us.
