Discussing Problems and Goals

The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty. Proverbs 21:5, NIV Goal setting in any endeavor is crucial to determine specifically where the efforts will be channeled to.

Mastering Life

“For the Lord God does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets” Amos 3:7 Life is about mastery—of your appetites, your passions, your fears and your ambitions. We are all faced with internal struggles. Do we surrender to our fears or conquer them? Do we give into our baser desires or strive […]

Understanding Angels

The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count. The angel of the Lord also said to her: “You are now pregnant and you will give birth to a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery. He will be […]

Appreciating God’s Time

Man’s history shows how time was used. Time equates to progress. Long ago, man’s first means of transportation was his own two feet; the mode of transportation: walking.

Finding yourself through Prophecy

Amidst all the influences, both good and bad, in the world, it is sometimes difficult to know who you really are.

God exhibits wisdom that is far beyond our understanding. A part of our mission as believers of Christ is to constantly attempt […]

Be kind to your neighbor

How do you approach the people around you? Are you the type of person that greets everybody with a smile or are you a grumpy fellow that finds it difficult to throw out a compliment? Bringing positivity into your life is easier that you think. All you have to do is seek to be kind […]

Live better today

Some people equate a good life with riches, power or acclaim. It’s all well and good to have and earn that but for those things to be your main motivation is a misleading thought. Starting out on your journey and all throughout it your main goal should begin with God. When you put Christ in […]

The Prophet of God
