    Does life happen to you or do you happen to life? See how Philip adjusted to changing life circumstances and how learning from him can help us cope too.

    How you look at life really can determine whether you act on life or life acts on you. Is life a series of unrelated coincidences? Is it the cosmos is conspiring to bring about the most pain and suffering possible? Is it something you command like an army to bend to your will? None of these are ...read more

Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand box at nursery school. These are the things I ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,439 views

    God has established spiritual laws that can change our circumstances. These spiritual laws, like all laws, are designed to bless us, but they only do so as we submit ourselves to them.

    Our lives are constantly being effected by civil laws, natural laws, and spiritual laws. Some laws will take precedence over others. We might establish a civil law that says it’s perfectly legal to drive 55 MPH on a curvy road, but if the road becomes covered with ice, the natural law of ...read more

    Happiness depends on the right happening, but even when things go wrong, you can still have joy. The person whose happiness depends on ideal circumstances is going to be miserable much of the time.

When you talk about joy, you have to go to the book of Philippians A little, short book in the New Testament – only four chapters long.
