Happy First Day of the Week!! Acknowledging today specifically all who are mothers, want to be mothers, are missing their mothers and maybe even missing their kids. Whether this is a happy day for you or an emotional, trying day for you, we pray God bless you in mighty ways today and beyond. ... May He celebrate with you and grieve with you. Our message today is at 10:30am, and you are invited to join us live or "live". https://youtube.com/channel/UCtvCD8IMRUsZi3pULc7SaSA

For those joining me for the chronological reading of Scripture, I've created a group to encourage questions and discussion about the daily readings. Please join if you would like to participate. Genesis 1-3 is today's reading. https://www.facebook.com/groups/235541154620457/?ref=share

Fear is powerful. It is important how you respond to it. If you give it power it will defeat you. If you face it, deal with it, and overcome it- you will be str...onger and more capable! #fear #power #strong #defeat #win #overcome #lead #leader #invest #grow #made4more #tr1bedevelopment #TRIBE #TR1BE #2minutetuneup See more

Who knows what the future holds? Only God. As 2020 comes to an end I encourage you to make commitments for the next year. Revelation 1 says that those who REA...D, HEAR and DO what the word of God says will be blessed. If you will read 4 chapters a day from the Bible you will read the whole Bible in a year! #Jesus #God #bible #read #hear #do #2020 #2021 #blessed #revelation1 #made4more See more

There are things that are hard to face. Hard truths about ourselves. Hard situations that we find ourselves in. It is tempting to just run from them - to deny t...hem - to hope that they will just go away. Life does not work that way! You cannot change everything that you face. The changes that could be possible will never become reality if you will not face the challenge and deal with it! #change #reality #truth #difficult #face #overcome #lead #leader #invest #grow #made4more #tr1bedevelopment #TRIBE #TR1BE #2minutetuneup See more

Resolutions. We can resolve to accomplish goals (weight loss for me) and fail knowing that, had we just had a greater commitment or more discipline, we could have succeeded and accomplished those goals. Reality sets in, and we view those goals as hopeless. We lose interest in trying. Resolving to be like Christ can be difficult, daunting, and defeating. Maybe even to the point of losing our resolve. We often look at the qualities of Christ that we can literally never accompl...ish and give up. Our commitment and discipline wanes as reality sets in. I can never be completely sinless. I can never save myself, much less all of mankind. But there ARE attributes of Christ that we CAN achieve. There will most likely be hiccups along the way, but our resolve can remain steadfast. Join me tomorrow, in person or via livestream, as we worship our God and look at just a few of these attributes of Christ.

"We cannot strengthen the Church by focusing on the Church. We can only strengthen the Church by focusing on Christ. If we are focused on knowing Christ and making Him known, everything changes. Imagine how different things would be in your community if the Body of Christ did what the Mind of Christ commanded."

Blessed! If you are walking by faith in Jesus these are a few of the blessings- You are forgiven. Your sin is not counted against you. #Jesus #faith #blessed #romans4 #made4more

God wants all of you. He wants all of your undivided faith, adoration, and love. Here is the context of the verse from James from the NLT: If you need wisdom,... ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do. James 1:5-8 NLT See more

Krista Turner’s handmade ornaments are on the tree outside. I miss her and I’m thankful to have that to remind me of some good times together. Here is the conte...xt of today’s whiteboard: John 10:9-11 NASB1995 I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

Everything It is all His. We are all His. #LORD #YHWH #created #psalm24 #made4more

Everything we need to live the life we were created for is found in really knowing God and walking with Him! #God #life #created #2peter1 #made4more

Are you stressed? There is a lot of resistance to this truth. You do not have to stress. You can choose a different response! It is important that you do. Illn...ess is directly related to stress. It compromises our immunity systems. When you are sick it inhibits your body’s ability to heal and actually makes the illness worse #stress #choose #response #sick #heal #lead #leader #invest #grow #made4more #tr1bedevelopment #TRIBE #TR1BE #2minutetuneup See more

God even knowing that we did not deserve anything, gave us everything.

Happy First Day of the Week!! https://youtu.be/eA_zN7mQ8m4

Known. Loved. Are you ever afraid to let your guard down and just be yourself? Concerned that you will not be loved? God knows you, all of you, and He loves you! #LORD #known #loved #psalm139 #made4more

Walking by faith is the only way to overcome! There are significant challenges that we all face. Too often we face them alone. We fight our battles in our own strength. The only way to overcome is by faith. God responds to faith. #faith #overcome #world #challenges #1john5 #made4more

Beyond comparison or description. That’s God. That’s part of what holy means when it is used to describe God. He is more than we can understand. He is more than... we can describe. Any and all comparisons come up short. Since He created all things He is above it all. He is always present. #God #YHWH #holy #present #revelation4 #made4more See more

I will admit that when the word 'worry' surfaces that I've done way over my share. It's like a rocking chair, it will keep you busy but you get no where. 365 t...imes in God's Word we are given instructions, 'fear not' or 'do not be afraid', in other words 'do not worry'. Peter stepped out of the boat focused on Jesus and walked toward Him until he was distracted by the wind, he was afraid and he began to sink. The very same thing happens to us this very day. Everyday, we're distracted by one thing or another again and again and again. Let us be aware of the winds (distractions) that can slightly deter our course, our direction. We're here on this planet for a very short time. This is NOT doom and gloom, it's all about our determination and the glory of God! We are closer TODAY than ever before of completing this temporary journey of life. It's later in my life, it's later in your life than it's ever been before. Take this deep into your soul, mind and spirit and give it a serious think. LetsPromoteHope.com

Be a blessing today! Encourage someone. Love. Serve. Listen. Call. Text. Write. Pray. #blessed #bless #love #care #serve #proverbs11 #made4more

Always seek after good! It is said that revenge is sweet. The truth is that there is really very little sweet about it. Holding on to the pain, the anger and so...metimes hate is not sweet. Instead of retaliation- seek to be a blessing. That makes a real difference! #good #evil #revenge #blessing #1thessalonians5 #made4more See more

Love is more than a feeling. Love is a decision. Love is a commitment. Love is a verb. It is expressed in actions, not just words. Love is patient. #love #feeling #decision #commitment #action #verb #patient #1corinthians13 #made4more

Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the in...terests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow , of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

I'm looking forward to our worship gathering tomorrow. As we open scripture, we will be considering the various purposes and uses of the staff of Moses and what can serve as our "staff" today. Please join me in person or on YouTube and let's worship God together.
