If you are a hyper-driven achiever, you’ll always chase opportunity. You will always want to be, do, and have more. This is a great thing, but if not checked, can lead to burnout. Just because something could be done doesn’t mean it should be done. Opportunity does not mean obligation. Simply having an opportunity presented […]
Luke 17:5 (NLV) The followers said to the Lord, “Give us more faith.” It’s appropriate to ask for more faith. In fact, we need to ask for more faith. The ancient statement from the Apostle James will stand true for all time:, “Ye have not, because ye ask not.” God pours out an extra measure […]
Isaiah 60:1 (NIV) “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.” What a great promise Isaiah spoke to the Israelites of long ago. This truth still holds true for us today. The light has come to you and me and He illuminates our path. He guides us along […]
The guilty are usually living in a vicious cycle of feelings that cause them to not experience true forgiveness. Our sins are what sent the King of Glory, Jesus Christ, to the cross. Sin was the fall of man, but on the cross it became the rise of a Hero. The cross is the place […]

I heard a great story about a group of frogs who were hopping peacefully through the woods, going about their froggy business, when two of them fell into a deep pit. All of the other frogs gathered around the pit to see what could be done to help their companions. When they saw how deep […]
We overestimate what we don’t have and underestimate what we do have. It’s a scarcity mindset that hijacks our success. Most people are chasing what they don’t have, but in doing so, they fail to utilize what they do have. We tend to always live with a “the grass is greener on the other side” […]
Psalm 121:1-2 (NIV) 1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. We are to lift our eyes up and focus on the Lord. The question we have to ask ourselves is, “Am I looking to God first when […]
Here’s what I know about you… You are facing a roadblock right now. Somehow, someway, there is something standing between you and what you want to do. How do I know this? Because we all face roadblocks on our path to greatness. In fact, if you don’t have roadblocks I would argue that you’re not […]
