Damaging Effects
1 Tim. 5:13 “They also learn to waste their time in going around from house to house; but even worse, they learn to be gossips and busybodies, talking of things they should not.”
Gossip is casual or unconstrained conversation about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed and in many cases, lies. If you are in any position of authority, be aware that people will bring unsolicited gossip to you.
God’s Heritage
Ps.127:3 “Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. 4 Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. 5 How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them…”
God has blessed us with families but our families become idols when we forget what they are for. Your family is a representation of God’s Kingdom on earth where righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit is saturated. Read the rest of this entry

Truth vs. Error
Lu.10:26 Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?” 27 The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’” [with emphasis]
God laid the foundations of the heavens. He established earth and spread the heavens like a curtain. God alone knows the number of the stars and He calls them by their names. Yet this same God is mindful of us. Read the rest of this entry
The Spirit
Lu.10:25 “One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?” [with emphasis]
It is interesting that when Jesus was asked about eternal life, Jesus pointed the scholar to The Law of Moses. If the law irrelevant, it cannot deliver eternal life. Sadly, this is where a lot of Christians get things mixed up. Read the rest of this entry
At The Roots
Ps.32:3 [MSG] “When I kept it all inside, my bones turned to powder, my words became daylong groans. 4 the pressure never let up… 5 Then I let it all out… Suddenly the pressure was gone –my guilt dissolved, my sin disappeared. 6 These things add up…”

First Principle
Prov.3:9-10 (TLB) “Honour the Lord by giving him the first part of all your income, and he will fill your barns with wheat and barley and overflow your wine vats with the finest wines”[with emphasis].
The first word in today’s Scripture reference is honour and it is a pointer to where everything should flow from. The truth is that no child can bring consistent honour to his or her father without loving him. Love is what makes a child able to honour the father consistently. Read the rest of this entry

Phil.2:14-15 (Philips) “Do all things without grumbling or arguing, so that you may be blameless… shining like lights in a dark world” [with emphasis].

Upgrade Yourself
Pr. 18:9 “One who is slack in his work is a brother to the one who destroys.”
The Bible describes the person that is a slacker as a brother to the one that destroys. In other words, they are one and the same. If you have a slacker working for you, heaven sees the person as a destroyer of your resources, your time and of your business – fire him or her. Read the rest of this entry
