ROI – God expects it. How does our part look?

ROI is Return On Investment. God endows capabilities, so we can give back to Him when He returns. In Matthew 25:14-25, Jesus said, ‘It is like a man about to go abroad who summoned his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to a third one,Continue reading “ROI – God expects it. How does our part look?”

In John 10:12 Jesus said, “He who serves for wages, and who is not the shepherd,Continue reading “The Shepherd vs. The Hired Man”

Do I ever lie to myself? Do I believe my own lie?

There were many times when I told myself a lie and believed it, or at the least acted as if it were true. I didn’t like that about myself, so I made a checklist to help me stop lying to myself and help me stop believing my own lies. I would go through the listContinue reading “Do I ever lie to myself?
