Romans 6:11 – Be ALIVE TO GOD, alert to Him, through Jesus Christ our Lord!
I have come to the conclusion that there is no such a thing as ‘a small thing’. Everything matters. James 3:3 We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Take one step at a time,…
1. Apathy: Lack of interest or concern, especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal; indifference. Lack of emotion or feeling; impassiveness. The opposite is enthusiasm. The original word for apathy is ‘without feeling’. 2. A ‘whatever’ attitude! The opposite is a ‘it matters’ attitude. 3. Laziness: Resistant to work or exertion; pre-disposed to idleness.…
Anyone who has sailed knows that without forward motion, the rudder cannot steer the boat. For a rudder to work, it needs some existing forward movement. Albert Einstein, “Life is like a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” So the first step to living with direction is to get moving where we…
A rudder only has an effect when we use it. James 3:4 Take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. A rudder uses the prevailing circumstances to change the direction or course of…
To be rudderless is to have no rudder. When we speak about being rudderless it means we are lacking in direction, control, or coherence. For example, we speak about the confused and rudderless markets. What we mean is that the markets are going no-where. It means we are aimlessly drifting, adrift, afloat, directionless, planless or…
Do you live a life that has direction and purpose? Or do you live a ‘rudderless’ existence. You are designed to live life with purpose and destiny. God created each one of us to live with purpose and destiny coursing through our veins. It is for this reason that when we resort to living life…
I am so glad that we can do this. At any time and at any stage in the process of change, we can ask God for help. Coping with change is difficult, but God wants to be with us and He wants to help us. Psalm 145:18 He is close to all who call on…
One thing we need to stick with is to make sure we stick with what God has told us. If God has told you to do something, you need to stick with what he has said and make sure you obey. Often times as we deal with change we begin to doubt what God has…
As we face change in life we need to learn the key of staying flexible. Change seldom comes exactly as we would like it and it for this reason that we need to remain flexible. I once heard someone say ‘Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be broken’. An example of this type…
Times of change can be really stressful times. They can be times of doubt and insecurity. It is as we face these kinds of feelings that we need to stay focused. Hebrews 12:1-2 let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us. Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and…
