Why is the kingdom of heaven theirs?       The answer behind these two questions rests upon the spiritual meaning which Jesus taught during the Sermon on the Mount.  The answer is not found through the literal meaning of each word, but in the spiritual, divine meaning relating to a person’s response to God’s calling.

This weekend is my great aunt’s birthday. She is the epitome of what a true Christian should be.  You have heard numerous people make claims that they are believers but their actions and words say otherwise. Not my great aunt.  She is the kindest, sweetest woman I know.  She goes out of her way to help others.  I can’t recall her ever being anything but the way that Jesus would want us to be.   As…

A mistake is a: MINOR INCONVENIENCE SOMETIMES TAKEN ALONG WITH KNOWLEDGE AND EVOLUTION No one is perfect and we can never make the correct choice all of the time.

Not having goals is a much more dangerous failure than not reaching all of the goals that you have set for yourself. When you don’t have goals, you cannot measure your progress and see the reward for your effort.

Not everyone has a rock-solid foundation to build their life on. But if you can imagine the future that you want, you can achieve it no matter what your foundation looks like. Think of your future as a home, or a place that you will reside at some point in time. Some homes are built on concrete, while others are made to float on the water. And yet others are constructed in trees that sway…

I’m not God. You’re not God. Neither one of us is in control of anything. So you might as well just chill out and relax. Sure, I wake up every day with these ideas about what I want to do, but more times than not, things will not go the way I am hoping it will. I could get all out of sorts, but why? What is the point? What good would it do? God…

We each have a past that has contributed to the person that we are today. But those events and experiences do not define who you are or limit your future. It was only a starting point. You have the power to decide where you go from this day forward. With hard work and dedication, you can build any life that you desire.
