Faith is not just about having it, and using it…it’s about giving it away as well. We fall short in the complete work of faith if we are not sharing it with others. It’s great to receive something, but it’s even greater to give something. In fact, numerous studies have even shown us that helping […]
In my early twenties I worked with an amateur boxer at a shipping center. Each day that I came to work, he would share boxing tips with me that he was learning during his training. Looking back, I realized that some of the principles he taught me could apply to our spiritual fight as well. […]
Faith…you gotta have it in order to use it. You can’t step out in faith if you don’t have faith. Faith doesn’t magically appear in our life. It is something that we acquire over time and practice. Each one of us has a measure of faith; some greater, some smaller. The good news is that […]
Faith is the currency of God’s Kingdom. It’s the means by which we experience the fullness of God and the hinge that opens the windows of heaven. One cannot truly know God unless they possess a measure of faith. We must fundamentally understand that faith is the lens in which we see God–it brings our […]
It’s not what we don’t know that holds us back, it’s what we know but don’t do that holds us back. The greatest gap we will ever face in life is between knowing and doing. This gap is what separates the Doers and Don’ters. It’s the great divide that only a few successfully get across. […]
The secret to living a great life is to do more than you don’t. For many years Bronnie Ware worked in palliative care.

There are two ways to live life; reactively or proactively. You can take it as it comes, or make it as you go. Unfortunately most people just accept their life, they do not intentionally lead it. They hope things will turn out better, but don’t put in the effort to actually make it better. To say, […]
You have greatness within you. That’s right, you have been designed with specific gifts that only you possess. But few people ever tap into their abilities. Albert Schweitzer said, “The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.” You don’t want to be like the the gravestone that read, “Died at 30…buried […]
The greatest treasure a person can possess is the gift of purpose! Purpose gives us meaning and leads us to action. One of the greatest questions we all ask at some point in our life, if not many times, is, “What is my purpose?” We can sometimes feel overwhelmed by this big question. We can […]
