Tell me… how’s that working for you? Comfortable? Stable? If you have or are trying this, you quickly discover that this is incredibly difficult as you constantly are focusing on maintaining your balance. Is this how you want to live?

Does it vary depending on the day? Is this a positive … or a negative mindset/behavior? Is it in cement… or does the plan provide a structure that indicates necessary ‘to do’s’ but allows for additions? How do you determine your today’s priorities?

Know what this word means? Know what it looks like? Is this one of your character qualities?Webster definition (2nd definition): “….firm in belief, determination, or adherence: Loyal.” Is this you? But… in reference to what, whom? If you are ‘firm’ and ‘loyal’ – who, and how did they get this designation? What makes us, You
No one will do this for you. And mark my words – when you’ve gain a victory, our enemy will try and dilute or diminish what has been accomplished. And even though we might feel this way at times… our lives really aren’t one step forward and two steps back. Remember that we ARE more
I can’t take credit for this title or for the 4 points that emerged from this sermon. The pastor was talking about part of our armor (found in Ephesians 6), the sword and how important it is and what’s available to us when we utilize it. Ephesians 6:10 begins Paul’s discussion of the whole armor of
