Thank God because my life is horrible? Because I am suffering? Because people are mean to me? WHAT!?

Depression has been described as anger turned inward: unmitigated anger, unfulfilled dreams, and the confusion that it creates. Who’s fault is it. How do I get out?

You control your anger. You are not supposed to be led by your spirit.

Stewardship is trusting God with what He has entrusted to you. And I think one of the hardest parts about stewardship is realizing that just because something is in your hands doesn't mean it belongs to you.

No one wants to be accountable for bad decisions.

Have you ever asked God for a sign? Have you ever heard God ask something of you, but you are needing to be sure, so you ask for a sign?

Love is a commitment, a covenant, a giving. It isn’t just giving in to something, it is a way of life: sacrifice.

Jesus warns people not to do good things for the wrong reason. Righteousness is having a right relationship with those around us and with God.

Prayer is the beginning of the miraculous. It starts the fire, ignites the fuse, in anticipation of the explosive power of God.

One thing today: friends pray and God MOVES.

What are you carrying right now that is choking you. What is it that is robbing you of your joy?

Have you ever had a dispute that split your friendship and caused you to walk away?

Can you say that your spouse is your best friend? What are the qualities of a great friend?

We have to give up being lord of our own life, chasing our own comforts and self-gratifications. This path will just leave us spiritually empty and lost. But if we surrender, we will gain life. We will gain purpose and fulfillment.

We all want to choose a life that will lead to long term happiness, but when we dive into a relationship with God, it will guide everything else.
