Faith, Family, and the Beauty of Everyday Life
God’s promises are so good! Not only does he promise to bless you personally when you give generously, but he also promises to bless your work and your business. Proverbs 3:9-10 says, “Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the first and best part of all your income. Then your barns will be full, and... Continue Reading →
When you give from a heart for Jesus, your goal isn’t to get a blessing. But the truth is that God will bless you. You can’t out-give God. When you learn to be generous like God is generous, he promises that you will end up with more. This is God’s economy. Sometimes it seems like... Continue Reading →
Requirement 2: Extend compassion to the person who wounded you. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, “Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.” Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. . . .

God is far more interested in changing your mind than in changing your circumstances. Most people long for God to take away all problems, pain, sorrow, suffering, sickness, and sadness. But God wants to work on you first, because transformation won’t happen in your life until you renew your mind—until your thoughts begin to change. Why is... Continue Reading →
When I was a kid, I used to buy or make little gifts for my parents. Every time I would give my parents a present, they were overjoyed. It wasn’t like they needed anything from me; they didn’t. They just enjoyed the fact that I thought of them. I was eight years old when I... Continue Reading →
