As we followed the Holy Spirit, kept our eyes on Jesus Christ and accepted the love of a heavenly Father, we realized that we are on a narrow road. I started a journey to fill a void and find true success. I never realized all the change I would go through, what needed to be [...]
As the Holy Spirit was teaching us about the love of the Father and our need to be in His will (and not what we thought was His will), my wife and I were experiencing greater inner peace and joy. Some of our secular friends were becoming concerned for us and our economic losses and [...]
During this time of economic change and redefining what the word “need” meant to me, the Holy Spirit was having my family focus on what is eternal. My wife and I stayed very active in our church, continued in the weekly Bible study and accepted the challenge of educating our children on what we were [...]
With comfort and grace from the Holy Spirit, we were daily rising to meet a life changing experience and continued purification of our faith. The Holy Spirit was explaining to us why our heavenly Father was not baling us out financially. Just as in the Dust Bowl of the 1930’s there were Christian farmers who [...]
This is a word that we love to throw around. It’s something that most everyone I speak with acknowledges is something that is very important, and that everyone needs it. The problem that I see with accountability is that most people believe everyone around them needs it. However, few truly believe they need it for [...]
A young lady confidently walked around the room during a stress management seminar. With a raised glass of water in hand, everyone knew she was going to ask the cliched question, “Half empty or half full?” But the woman surprised everyone with her question. “How heavy is this glass of water?” Answers called out by [...]
Since mid 2007 through 2008, we were in a daily battle with doubt, ourselves and why a loving Heavenly Father was allowing a Christian family like ours to struggle. We did try to keep our financial struggle in perspective. After all, many Christian families are facing greater difficulties in health, death of a loved one, [...]
Do you believe in the idea of “soulmates”? There is more talk now than ever about “compatibility” and finding that ideal, one right person who is tailor-made only for you. Many people nowadays are expecting to find someone who not only fulfills their desires, but one who accepts them- flaws and all- in spite of [...]
In 2008, our lives were coming to a crossroads spiritually and financially. We realized daily that the financial crisis- recession, depression whatever you want to call it- was compelling us to go to our Heavenly Father daily. We first went to our Spiritual Father looking for a financial way out. Then we went to God [...]
We were in the recession of 2008, praying like crazy for financial help from the Lord and a miraculous sales ad or marketing plan that would see us through this recession. Being a small Mom & Pop furniture store, we did not have the buying power of the bigger chain stores. We tried to emphasis [...]
The year of 2007 marked a new season in our lives. For the first time in the economic growth of our business, the gross sales and net profit were down. The financial people in the know were saying that it would be similar to other recessions in the past and could last possibly eighteen months. [...]
In pursuing God’s will, His Holy Spirit was bringing me back to the basics. He reminded me once again and told me that I should earnestly first seek God and His Will. He reminded me that a loving spiritual Father knows what is best for me. The Holy Spirit said to be patient, study the [...]
My wife and I decided to put our trust in the Lord and made the decision to be closed on Sundays. I’ll be honest and admit that the Sunday business had fallen off substantially as the economy started to show signs of a downturn and increase in unemployment. The double income families that needed to [...]
The Treasure of Thrown Away Food by Lysa TerKeurst of Proverbs 31 Ministries If there was ever a secret for unleashing God’s powerful peace, it’s developing a heart of true thanksgiving. I came to understand this truth while reading a paper my son Jackson wrote. His paper was about the corruption and greed that caused [...]
I came home from the small group Bible study with many of my questions answered and a number of decisions that had to be made. As I re-evaluated my priority list, I kept coming to the realization that my relationship with God had to come first. I needed to love God with my whole heart, [...]
Part of my vision is to travel and experience the world. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to see many countries on vacation as well as on missions trips with the church. Some of my vacations have been phenomenal. But I must admit that at the end of the vacation, I’m usually exhausted and ready [...]
