dream attitude fire
Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hopes. When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.
doctors office church
'We really shouldn't look like a church.' I've heard that so much I want to vomit. 'Why?' I ask. 'Do you want your bank to look like a bank? Do you want your doctor's office to look like a doctor's office, or would you prefer your doctor to dress like a clown?'
positive attitude optimistic
When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.
hope encouragement anchors
Hope is like an anchor. Our hope in Christ stabilizes us in the storms of life, but unlike an anchor, it does not hold us back.
wisdom simple views
Allow me to offer a simple definition of wisdom. Wisdom is looking at life from God's point of view.
lord
No marriage is "too dead" for the Lord to restore.
life-changing breathing worry
The devil, darkness, and death may swagger and boast, the pangs of life will sting for a while longer, but don't worry; the forces of evil are breathing their last. Not to worry...He's risen!
land people desire
The Promised Land was a tangible representation of God's ultimate desire for His people, but they failed to comprehend His gift for at least three reasons: It was unconditionally promised, it was outrageously generous, and it was absolutely free. None of those make sense in the world as we know it...
christian humility self
Humility - the discipline of putting others ahead of self, the choice to value others above self - is, at its core, a matter of faith.
joy contentment difficult
Joy is a deeply felt contentment that transcends difficult circumstances and derives maximum enjoyment from every good experience.
jesus goal focus
We want a crowd to make us feel important and liked. But why is getting a crowd our focus? Jesus never suggested that crowds were the goal. He never addresses getting your church to grow. Never.
children father men
Authentic men aren't afraid to show affection, release their feelings, hug their children, cry when they're sad, admit it when they're wrong, and ask for help when they need it.
men humanity doe
When a person does something, it has the man or woman look about it. It drips with humanity. You can follow the logic of it and see the meaning behind it.
family children home
Focus on your marriage. Because that's the nucleus of the home, whatever you do to restore its health and strength will naturally restore what's broken among the other relationships. If you have no children yet, this will make a comfortable nest for them to begin life well. If you have children, the changes you make in your marriage will affect the rest of the household more quickly and dramatically than you think.
