Higher Still
1 Tim. 6:10 “For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.” [with emphasis]
It is crowded at the bottom; there is a lot of confusion and limited visibility. At the bottom is where contention and strife thrive. There are certain advantages you cannot take at the bottom. Read the rest of this entry
R. E. P.
Acts 2:46 “They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity— 47 all the while praising God…”
Relationships: You are the average of the three people that you spend the most time with. If you spend most of your time with people that are not going anywhere, guess what? Over time you will be the third person that is not going anywhere. Read the rest of this entry
Come Up Here
Rev.4:1 “Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast. The voice said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.” [with emphasis]
God wants us to step up spiritually. The first thing and a major key to stepping up spiritually that stands out from today’s Scripture reference is “…the same voice I had heard before spoke to me…” This points to the fact that there has to be an existing relationship before you can begin to step up spiritually.

Pure Joy I
Ps. 16:11 (VOICE) “Instead, You direct me on the path that leads to a beautiful life. As I walk with You, the pleasures are never-ending, and I know true joy and contentment.”
The joy that is in the Kingdom is in the Holy Spirit and in walking with God. It is as we get into God and into our relationship with Him that we get into His life and experience His joy. Like it is stated in today’s Scripture reference, as you walk with God, the pleasures in your life will be unending. Read the rest of this entry
Special Ability I
Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
The number one way to get God’s power is prayer. Acts 1:14 “They all met together and were constantly united in prayer…” [with emphasis]. Read the rest of this entry

Acts 1:14 “They all met together and were constantly united in prayer…” [with emphasis]
The Church is so significant. In fact, the church is one institution that will last forever. No government will last forever, no institution will last forever, but the church will last forever. Read the rest of this entry
His Pleasure
Psa. 99:5 “Exalt the Lord our God! Bow low before his feet, for he is holy!”
Your focus in the place of worship is very important because it informs what you will do. Your focus will also inform what you allow and what you will disallow. For instance, if your focus is on people and what they will say, if they will laugh at you or call you a fanatic, you will struggle with kneeling down in God’s Presence. Read the rest of this entry
Your Best
Ps.114: 6 “Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, hills, like lambs? 7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob”
When you encounter God in all His glory, the most sensible thing to do is to kneel before Him. It is senseless not to kneel before Him. Interestingly, there is nowhere in the Bible that God Himself instructs us to bow before Him. God instructs us not to bow before other gods but He did not tell us to bow to Him instead.
In Advance
Heb.12:6 “For the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child.”
For our relationships to thrive, forgiveness should happen before correction. Forgive means to completely bestow upon in advance. Choose to forgive in advance regardless of what people do. We see that this is the way our heavenly Father operates. Read the rest of this entry
