    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 19, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,668 views

    When our needs are real, we want genuine answers, not just appeasements. Look to self-esteem, look to the resources already present, and look to the Lord of victory for real answers.

    When you need something, and you ask for it, what do you expect? Do you expect an answer or an appeasement? Do you expect a clear-cut, usable answer to your request, or are you satisfied if you are just told, well, have a nice day? When you need something, and you ask for it, which really satisfies ...read more

    Looking at yourself they way God looks you or how Satan looks at you

    Introduction: (Finish this sentence) Hello, my name is……dumb, stupid, unsuccessful, worthless, nice to meet you. How insane would that be to introduce you that way? Kind of makes you thing about how we define ourselves right? Matthew West has a song, “Hello, My Name Is” and ...read more

    In Luke’s gospel (12:35) we find the first extended teaching on the Second Coming of Jesus and here he warns his followers to be ready. In these verses we are given three distinct characteristics of a “good waiter.”

    Appreciate the heart of the Father. Don’t waste your life away. Treasure the resources God has given us. Love the things He loves.

Looking at the three characters in this story, we can learn something about ourselves and our heavenly ...read more
