You and I both know there are many people today who have low self esteem. Differing factors can contribute to one’s self doubt or self disgust. Sadly, some Christians are living with a low self image because of feelings of unworthiness.
Jesus Christ once said, “…the truth will make you free.” Therefore, things not true enslave you; they restrict or limit you. Seeing and believing things about yourself that are not true from God’s point of view will most assuredly restrict and limit you.
Jesus Christ read it. He quoted it often. He spoke about it on a number of occasions.
Today, there are lots of opinions about the Bible. I’ve heard it called the good book, old fogey book, irrelevant book, just for holy rollers, mostly made up, good history of the Jewish people, and the Word of God.
Before I share Jesus Christ’s opinion of the scriptures, consider this. A person can read a true account, not believe it and decide it’s not true. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions, but their opinions
Some are impressed by academic achievements. Others are dazzled by personality or charisma. And there are those who are influenced by longevity. (Let’s leave out those who just take information from the top listing of a Google search as absolutely true.)
Regardless of the topic, someone with a long history, scholarly credentials, and a likeable personality does not absolutely guarantee they are correct in what they say. Einstein’s static universe theory in 1917 was completely disproved by Edwin Hubble demonstrating that the universe is constantly expanding. But, Einstein said it; it must be true, right?
My point is, if something is true, it doesn’t matter who speaks it or writes it or sings it;
“I’m trying to do my best.” “Is that the best you can do?” “Do your best.” “My best just isn’t good enough.” Sound familiar? I think “best” is overrated, misunderstood, or maybe it’s just semantics.
What is your best? What is my best? If I’m not doing something as good or better today than yesterday does that mean I’m not doing my best and therefore I’m
A new year is dawning. 2015 is here. What are you expecting? What kind of year will it be for you?
Many will make New Year’s Resolutions; others will not. Overachievers and perfectionists will become disappointed, while underachievers will be saying, “Oh, well, who cares?” But what if, just what if, this ends up being the

I recently had a nice three day weekend in San Diego, at Pacific Beach. I spent a little bit of time sightseeing and a whole lot of time absorbing and inhaling the Pacific Ocean.
I took several walks on the beach, played in its chilly water several times, and enjoyed the view and sounds from our room. But the best was the last afternoon just
Recently someone I’ve not talked to for quite awhile called to talk to me about current economic conditions. Wow! That’s a big topic!
Our discussion involved not only economic situations in our country, but also some issues on the political scene as well! Whew! Needless to say it was not a very
John Maxwell once said, “The difference between winners and whiners is, winners, they know they have to do the right things and then they feel good; whiners, they want to feel good before they do the right thing.”
The dictionary defines a whiner as “a person who makes frequent complaints usually about
