A pessimist is someone who, on your birthday, will say: "May your day be better than it probably will be!" Some people are born ...read more

    We are admonished in God’s word to put away envy. Let us study how envy can destroy our lives if we do not take authority in Christ to put it away.

    ENVY (Heb. qin’â; Gk. phthonos).

    When a serious believer goes beyond the call of duty and expends himself or herself to the glory of God, others are motivated to expend themselves for God.

    Motivation by Example (Philippians 1:12-18) 1. One of the big challenges within American Evangelicalism is staying motivated. We become bored and lose our enthusiasm. • Boredom is always a contemporary issue: The Rev. Dr. Robert South, while preaching one day in 1689, looked up from his notes to ...read more

    What is real joy and how to do you find it? Paul the Apostle begins teaching us by showing joy is found by partnering with others’ lives and sharing the gospel.

    There’s a well known saying out there: "what’s in it for me?" In broadcasting we would define a story’s newsworthiness by asking "why should I care?" All around us exists a mentality of "me first." And even though when we come to Jesus we receive something invaluable as a person - the salvation of ...read more
