Winning Your World

Move into all God has for you by becoming the bold soul winner you know He’s created you to be.

Patience = Consistency

Patience = Consistency

"Just be patient." If you're like most believers, you probably cringe when you hear the word "patience." To most Christians, being patient means gritting your teeth and hanging on by your toenails in hopes things will eventually get better. We think it means, "hang on...

Destroy the Force of Fear

Destroy the Force of Fear

Before you read this article, I want you to stop and take a quick inventory of your life. Are there areas of it in which the devil seems to be running rampant? Are there situations that seem to be continually cursed instead of blessed? If so, the subject I'm about to...

What is Mercy?

What is Mercy?

It would be good for all of us to remember more regularly that if each and every one of us received what we deserved, we would be crispy critters. As the Bible makes clear, we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Our covenant with God...

Capture Your Thoughts

Capture Your Thoughts

Many people understand the need for practice in athletics and music. They even understand the need for higher education. But not many people understand the need to train your mind. Just as athletes wouldn’t know the team’s playbook without practice, your mind won’t...

Winning Over Fear

Winning Over Fear

You may not think you deal with fear at all, but let me point out that in today’s vernacular, we often cover up the word “fear” with other words. “I’m worried about the economy.” “I’m anxious about my kids.” “I’m getting a little uptight about this.” No matter how you...

Are You Winning?

Are You Winning?

Vince Lombardi, the legendary coach of the Green Bay Packers, is famous for saying, “Winning isn’t everything— it’s the only thing.” That was definitely my philosophy when I was growing up. From the time I was a small boy, I loved to win and detested losing. I used to...
