    Inspiration for This Day

    "He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else." Its not an uncommon habit for people to often spend so much time finding other people to blame, expending much energy finding excuses for not being all they are capable of being, and then, complain of not having enough energy ...read more

    Encouragement to walk through every "open door" of opportunity that God gives us for ministry.

    WHEN WE ARE FACED WITH NEW AND EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES FOR MINISTRY AND WE TELL OURSELVES "I CAN NEVER CHANGE, THAT’S NOT MY STYLE" OR SAY "THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN," WE PRESUME TOO MUCH AND BELIEVE TOO LITTLE. IN JESUS CHRIST, GOD RENDERS ALL OF OUR FINAL CONCLUSIONS PREMATURE AND ALL OF OUR TALK ...read more

    Those who refuse to step out on faith, (no matter the amount), run the risk of allowing Jesus to pass by for the last time.

    "OPPORTUNITY ALMOST MISSED" Mark 10:46-52 (020317) Bartimeus was typical of every person making the journey through life. He was blind to what was going on around him other than what someone told him. We are blind to the things of God unless someone tells us and then we have the same choice that ...read more

    There’s no time like the present to be involved in the Kingdom of God!

    The Power of a Present Opportunity Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. An ostrich with its head in the sand is just as blind to opportunity as to disaster. Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity. When one door closes, another opens; but we ...read more

    Crisis: Dangerous Opportunity

    based on 39 ratings
     | 4,676 views

    Jesus precipitated a crisis for others around Him: for Judas, for the disciples, for Peter. Their reactions are like ours -- confused -- but Jesus knows who He is in the midst of the crisis.

    I’m sure that you have heard many times now that the Chinese character that is usually translated by the English word “crisis” is actually made up of two components – one character that means “dangerous” and the other that means “opportunity.” Put “dangerous” and “opportunity” together, and you ...read more

    There are three ways to look at people: (1) as prey - whom we can make a profit from; (2) as trouble to avoid, or (3) as an opportunity for us to serve. The Lord says we are to minister to others, especially those in need.

    Luke 10:30-37 Seize the Opportunity to Serve 1929 words This parable tells us we can treat people in at least 3 different ways. (1) Like the robbers, sees a person as a prey. They are out to gain something from him. (2) Like the priest and the Levite, see the person as a trouble to avoid. ...read more
