Being dreamers, our forefathers accomplished a huge undertaking. But the Apostles – they were dreamers beyond any and the world has never been the same since.

Stooping to embrace to Himself that, which by essence is not embraceable, Christ became what He was not in order to make us what we could, in ourselves, never be.

Amazing! The Creator provided what only He could; the only remedy for sin, His Son, our Christ. Yet He entrusted the Gospel, His good news about the remedy, to mere men.

Every moment of every day is reason for thanksgiving, especially for the believer. Whether thankful for rescue from the jaws of disaster or for every breath, we have much for which we must be thankful.

Being rich is more than money. Rich is love, heritage, friends and loved ones and Christ in whom all true riches are found.

How would we judge He who cannot be judged? Many questions come to mind but ultimately we come to the realization that God alone is The Judge and man will always come up short and in debt.

A quality lacking today in most of us is persistence. To accomplish great things doesn’t take great riches or great brains or fame. It simply takes the ability to persevere, to persist.

When we move too fast, we attempt too many tasks at once, are good ways to ensure chaos and wrong results. Take your eyes off of yourself; keep them focused on Christ, especially when life gets difficult, and be surprised at how much will go right.

Life never lets up on us and we must take seriously it’s challenges. There is a standard, set by God, to be striven for. Keep aiming at the standard and avoid the easy path of selfishness.

Laws and rules should protect in spirit and in practice.  God’s law is no different and is to be paramount in our daily life, lest we are destroyed by our own inattention.

Strength of character must take priority or we are left in very dangerous waters which more often than not, results in drowning.

Very often life’s circumstances bring temptations to do the easy thing even when we know we shouldn’t. We are called to be faithful, meaning the right thing is often very difficult.

We are created to function in certain ways, with proper nourishment being the key, not only in our physical bodies but also that of our spirit.

We begin the race with enthusiasm but a wrong turn along the course will up-end your destination.

How wonderful it is when the things in which we find delight we desire to share with those we care about. If then, we delight in Christ why is it we don’t share Him as readily?

One father’s offer to trade his life for that of his son illustrates our Heavenly Father’s gift to us.

If you don’t believe you can, you won’t. Seek the Father’s will, believe you can and keep on working at it, and you will accomplish the mission you are given.

Learn to accept that frustrations are part of living and you set the stage for a more contented life in Christ.

Darkness can be terrifying. We need to remember that God is here with us and that the tunnel has light at both ends, so keep on traveling.

The road will get bumpy, it’s a fact of life. When it does we can resign, leave our post; become resigned to failing our task; or re-sign, putting a fresh signature on our commitment.
