In order to make a change lasting, you must capture your thoughts. I am sure that is no big mystery. I can even imagine you going that was just awe inspiring. 2 Corinthians 10:5 New International Version (NIV) 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we […]

Lasting Change
You have chosen to change, you have changed your thinking, and you realize that change takes time, but now you need it too last. So how is that done? We need to: Focus on the Lord. Learn what Christ taught and start practicing it. Learn what God’s purpose is for you. Realize that we all […]
Change Takes Time
There is one thing that humans are good at and that is being impatient. When we pray to God, we expect immediate answers. When we want to lose weight, we expect it to happen overnight. When we want to get fit, we expect it to happen even faster than losing weight. When we want to […]
Change your Thinking
Yesterday, I mentioned that we need to choose change. It all starts with changing our thinking. Romans 12:2 New International Version (NIV) 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing […]
Choose Change
Most of us are not perfect and need to change. We think we are smarter, wiser, nicer, kinder, more patient, more loving, friendlier than we really are. We claim that we want to be more like Christ, but we are unwilling to acknowledge that we are not even close. God gave each of us free […]

Temporary Life
A lot of us act like this life is it and that there is nothing afterward. As a Chrisitan, I believe that there is this life which is temporary and then there is the eternal life. Depending on your acceptance of Christ as your Lord and Savior, that He is the son of God, that […]
Don’t Stop
You cannot lose, but you can quit. It is as simple as that. 2 Chronicles 15:7 New International Version (NIV) 7 But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” Christ has already paid the price for your sin. Therefore, you have already won. You just need to […]
Taking Shortcuts
So many of us want things now that we are willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. Often that means we take shortcuts. So let me define what a shortcut is: a method or means of doing something more directly and quickly than and often not so thoroughly as by ordinary procedure […]
Hearing God
Yesterday I mentioned the voices that you may hear and how they could be God or Satan. Do you know what God’s voice sounds like? The answer is really simple. When you are doing or are about to do something, what is that little voice telling you? If what you are doing is going to […]
