Helping part 2

I've heard it said, and you probably have to, that more is lost by indecision than wrong decision. And I'm sure there's some truth to that. But I think sometimes we make things worse when we rush in. Even when we're trying to fix things. Sometimes we end up hurting instead of helping. Because we...

Here's the question I seem to ask myself over and over again: Is this helping or hurting? I ask myself if what I'M doing is helping or hurting, because I only want to help. And I ask (myself) if what others are doing is helping or hurting because I can't believe the way people act sometimes. And I...

Stand still. Kind of goes against our "natural" instincts of either fight or flight, eh? But when you understand our new (true) nature--the love nature--and when you understand that love never fails because love endures, that's when you begin to see that there really IS a more excellent way. And...

There's an art to being still. Especially in the midst of a storm. But when you make your stand, and you are standing on the Rock that is God--that is LOVE--it gets a little bit easier. Because love cannot be shaken. Love lasts forever. Love endures. But what love DOESN'T do is demand its (HIS) own...

We seem to think that the harder we try, the more we'll accomplish. Which, I guess, makes sense to the carnal mind. And I'm not saying we shouldn't try hard. I'm a big believer in maximum effort. But I also believe that love IS the maximum effort that you can give. Love is giving everything you...

In order to be still and know that HE is God... you kind of have to be still. And I'm not necessarily talking about not moving--although that can help, in some instances. I'm talking about being calm. I'm talking about how powerful it is when everybody else is losing their heads but you can keep...

One of the hardest things to do in life is what the Bible says in Psalm 46:10, "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." Be still. Stop trying so hard. Stop running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to earn love and...

I'm not saying you should never make a stand. Quite the opposite in fact. I'm simply saying you should stand FOR something, instead of always being AGAINST every and any thing. And I'm saying, if you ARE going to make a stand... stand on the Rock. Stand in grace. Stand in love. I want to use one of...

Stand part 4

If you're going to make a stand... make sure its worth it. Don't give your three t's (time, talent, treasure) to things that don't deserve them. And, to be perfectly clear, I'm NOT talking about people here. Because I believe there are only two things that ARE worth it--God and people. Love God,...

I didn't quite get to quote my memory verse yesterday, so I'm going to do it right from the jump today. "He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it...
