All it really takes to be successful in life is to believe Yahweh and obey Him. Do not expect being successful to make you popular, though. Nobody listened to the reports offered by Joshua and Caleb as they reported on their spy mission trip. In spite of the unpopularity at the time, their names are remembered. Nobody has memorized the […]
Really being committed to the Kingdom of Heaven includes considering the values of time, money, property, relationships and skills in light of their values to Jesus.

Will a preacher have a better inheritance than a luggage handler at a bus station or airport? Someone who is doing what the King leads them to do will have a greater inheritance than someone who isn’t.

If you have ever been to a football game (or Sunday service), you have seen people leave before the end because they are bored and want to get somewhere else in a hurry. Or they want to at least get there before the Baptists down the street. Those people are not there because they are dedicated or excited. Get excited […]
It is pitiful that some people only want enough of Jesus to keep them out of the lake of fire. It is maybe more pitiful that there are religious people who for centuries have been offering that level of a relationship with clear conscience. I am hoping to gain enough of Jesus to always have a holy fire burning in […]
What benefit does our Father gain by filling us with His Spirit? What benefit would you gain by submitting to Him and being filled with His Spirit?
