Don’t let the title of this post upset you just yet…
God is fully God.
There’s no way to describe the greatness, majesty, holiness, perfection, bigness of God…
You could spend eternity…and will…trying to figure God out completely or fully comprehend the depths of His love, power, and grace.
But I wonder sometimes…
If you are following this series of Scripture memory verses, I hope they are making a difference in your life. Isn’t that the end goal of God’s Word?
This week’s verse, if we truly applied it to our life, and practiced it, could change all we are this week.
Here is this week’s memory verse:
Healthy teams have some things in common with other healthy teams.
Healthy teams:
Let’s be honest…
It is easier to create a rule than it is to extend grace…
When someone does something wrong…
Grace is not the easy response…
Grace is the harder option…
Grace grants a pardon…

Don’t be afraid of those times in the wilderness…
When you can’t seem to hear from God…
When nothing seems to make sense in your life…
When there’s a nervousness about your future…
When you sense something is about to change…
When there’s a new stirring in your heart…
When you are tempted to become fearful…
In my experience…
God uses those times to prepare you for better times…

Tweet It’s Easter weekend, so what would be a more appropriate verse than this week’s memory verse? What difference would it make if you and I lived with the reality…
When they had crucified Him, they divided up His clothes by casting lots. Matthew 27:35 NIV
The baby was born. It seems we just celebrated His birth a few months ago. He was laid in a borrowed manger. He grew in wisdom and stature. He fulfilled all prophecy that was written about Him.
He performed many miracles. He did only the will of His Father. He never sinned. He cared for the sick. He loved the poor.
He taught the disciples. He baptized many.
But…
Being a man or woman of character doesn’t come without some cost associated. If you want to have character that stands strong among the crowds, it will be expensive.
Here are 5 high costs to pay for having character:
Just a quick reminder…
If you only follow the rules others set for you…
If you only do what others call “safe”…
If you never risk it all…
If you never step out of the norm…
There’s a chance….

April 20 has a variety of meanings leading to various celebrations – some in the moment and others for future generations.  For me, it’s a big day I’m conducting a media tour to support my new book,  Today We Are Rich.  One of the key points of the book is that you can give your way out of burnout.  In principle four, Give To Be Rich, I echo Dr. Norman Vincent Peale’s obsersvation: Generosity  is a Wonder Drug.
In the spirit of Carpe Diem, I’m claiming 4-20 as a national day of giving, observing and sharing of emotions. Â Much like Scrooge, anyone can lift their spirits dramatically by giving, helping, volunteering or directly donating to those in need. Â Researches have a name for the medicinal power of giving: Helper’s High. Â This is the promise made in Isaiah 58: 7,8.
Life’s not fair sometimes…is it?
Progress at any cost just isn’t available these days. Thanks to people and their set of values, playing by the rules has become a necessity…at least according to some. You may be able to fool people for a while, but you have to be transparent, authentic and genuine to be seen as a good leader these days.
What’s the world coming to?
So many things get in the way of attaining “real” progress and success.
Here are 7 examples that come to mind:
Tweet Last week, we memorized Jeremiah 24:7. Read that post HERE. Today we have what I believe is a great companion verse to memorize. Years ago I prayed these two…
