Daily Inspiration-Got Idols?

Posted on by

Who or what do you focus on the most?  What consumes your attention?  Is it money, material things, addiction, sex, your professional title, etc.?  It is easy to unknowingly turn someone or something in your life into an idol.  Even your church, your Pastor, a televangelist can become an idol.  Wanting something or someone so much that it becomes your primary focus can also be an idol.

When you idolize you take your eyes off God.

Daily Inspiration-Do Not Take the Bait!

Posted on by

Have you noticed how frenetic the world is becoming?  You can readily see it in listening to the news.  You can readily see it in your own little corner of the world.

People seem more divisive than ever before.  It appears that we have lost the ability to listen to one another with an open heart (and it is always a heart issue).  You may not agree with someone on any given issue but that does not mean that you cannot respectfully discuss.  I like to hear another person’s perspective because it is through listening that I can learn not

If you do not know, purpose today to diligently seek Him.  He stands at the door of your heart (for it is always a heart issue) and knocks.  Listen for His still small voice.  Open the door and let Him into your life.  If you choose to do this and truly follow Him, your life will never be the same.

So many choose not to follow Jesus as they fear their

Daily Inspiration-What Do You Do “Unto Others?”

Posted on by

Many people may call you friend in this life but a true and faithful friend is a rare gift indeed.  Throughout my life people have said to me, “You have a lot of friends.”  Actually, I know a lot of people but in reality I count very few as friends.

A friend is there through the ups and downs.  A friend may see your shortcomings but comes along side of you anyway.  A friend prays you up and covers you at all times.  A friend does not share your personal information or anything you have shared with them.  My motto

Do Not Offend-Mend! 

There is so much offense and division today on every level.  Division is a burgeoning split that threatens our homes, our relationships, our communities, our country and the world.  Most importantly, a divisive spirit can reside in your heart, for in the end, it is always a heart issue.

As followers of Jesus Christ we are called to “love one another.”  This may sound easy enough at face value.  But sadly, if you follow the news today it is hard to see this being played out.  Do not let what is going on around you be discouraging.

Daily Inspiration-The Restoration of Brokenness

Posted on by

Yesterday I was speaking with a single mom on the phone.  She walked into the kitchen to find a broken dish with orange slices all over the floor as her young son ran out of the room.  She called him back to her.  He came crying saying it was an accident.  She asked if he was OK.  Through his little tears he said yes.  She then hugged him and said, “We can get another dish but I cannot get another you. There is only one you! I am happy you are safe.”

I could not help but think that this

Daily Inspiration-“Now It Happened…”

Posted on by

Miracles happen in an instant.  Often there is no long lead in, just an instantaneous miraculous moment when all things shift.  Throughout the Bible God’s handiwork is prefaced by, “Now it happened…”

Believe in the ‘now.’  Believe in the possibility of ‘it happened,’ whatever ‘it’ may be in your life.  Your struggle may be health related, relationship centered, financial or employment focused.

Whatever ‘it’ may be for you, know that God is bigger than all you see around you.  He sees your entire situation, far beyond what you can think or imagine.  He sees exactly what you need (not to

Daily Inspiration-A Hardened Heart Makes Life Harder!

Posted on by

Are you the same as you were last year?  Life should change you. Learning from life experiences should grow you in a positive way. If you remain the same year after year or let life experiences damage who you are, you miss out on the kaleidoscope of possibility that life has to offer.

Jesus died to set you free.  If you are bound by your past, your present, your heart (remember, it is always a heart issue), look to Him as the Author and Finisher of your faith.

So many people have walled off parts of their heart as they
