Do you expect the Pastor and leadership in your church to do everything? As an aside… those ‘things’ that you feel/think they aren’t doing – do you criticize them? gossip? complain about??? And what about YOUR responsibility? What are YOU doing to fill in the gaps or add your hand to? Do you honestly think […]

Let me ask you a question… do you want to hear the Lord’s voice? If your answer is, ‘of course’. then – why? How important is it to you that you do? What are you willing to do in order to put yourself in the position to hear? And if you aren’t hearing His voice…

BIG WORDS??? Have you any idea of the what and why of these words? Do those words kinda stick in your throat? Do you run away any time they come up in conversation? Do you try and push them down and hope they will just become invisible? Maybe you try to bluff your way through?

To say that I love questions is an understatement of gargantuan proportions. I’m not too sure that I don’t live apart from the questions. I do know that I have said, countless times, that I never met a question I didn’t like. Granted, I didn’t always love the answer that I discovered from the question

How do you handle a situation in which you have: made a fool of yourself, been totally in the wrong, did/said something you totally regret, etc.? Do you try and avoid those people? Do you blame someone or something else? Try and distance yourself as much as possible from the words, actions done too quickly,
Just write down any questions that you may have and I will get back to you in a jiffy!
