His Voice, His Gift
Jn.14:27 “I am leaving you with a gift–peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid” (emphasis added).

Simplify VIII
Zech.8:17 (MSG) “…Keep your lives simple and honest…”

Simplify VII
Micah 6:8 (MSG) “But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbour, be compassionate and loyal in your love, and don’t take yourself too seriously— take God seriously.”

Habitually
Ezra 8:23 “So we fasted and earnestly prayed that our God would take care of us, and he heard our prayer.”

New Beginnings
Philip. 2:5 “You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being…”

Christ-Like
1 Cor.2:16 “For, “Who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?” But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.”
I did no go to Bible college; in fact, you can all me a Bible college dropout. I did two days in Bible college and dropped out. Do not get me wrong, I do not think there is anything wrong with Bible college and I love knowledge. Read the rest of this entry

Isa.46:3 “Listen to me, …I have cared for you since you were born. Yes, I carried you before you were born. 4 I will be your God throughout your lifetime— until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.”
As adults, one of the things we learn with responsibility is, we like to own the outcome of the events in our lives. But there are certain times that you just need to do your best and leave the burden of outcomes to Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
