What is our direction? Is it a downward spiral, side way going nowhere or upward bound? What does that mean? Well, use your imagination. Do we use our mind or our body? Do we worship our stomach or are we made of more substance? Questions that should make us think. Where are we headed? What is our direction? Is it downward to destruction or upward to victory? Think about it and listen to my brief message below.

There is freedom where? Have you ever asked yourself what is a true meaning for freedom? I suppose it all depends on your perspective. If you live in a 3rd world country, freedom may be very different than most of my readers who live in a country where we enjoy the finer things in life. If you break it down, what does freedom mean to you and where can you find it? Freedom is certainly not free. There is a price to be paid but look at the alternatives. 2 Corinthians 3:17 says “where the Lord’s Spirit is, there is freedom.” Okay, I may have lost a few readers at this point as you may be thinking he is at it again but please do not close your mind to the endless possibilities when you live in the Spirit and the Spirit lives in you. Listen to my brief message for more about true freedom.

You have heard these statements I am sure in the past. “No prophet is welcomed in his home town.”  “Knowledge is power.” Knowledge to boldly share the good news is not an option in my opinion without empathy, love, patience, kindness, etc. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 is the Love Passage in my opinion. It is certainly used in many weddings. That is great! But is it just a nice thing to think without some effort to maintain? I know from my own experience, anger can sneak in and all those attributes that describe love goes out the window. Love takes an effort. No one really cares what you say if your actions speak volumes of what you really feel. Listen to my brief message below if you want to hear more on this topic.

The sum of all parts put together into a functional manner becomes a system. Have you ever considered the value of all the parts that make up a system? When you add up the individual cost of all the parts to a car for example it would make the average car buyer run away from a deal. When you put the parts together into a system that functions as one then you have something very special. Have you ever considered the human body as a system? What value could we put on one part of our anatomy? All parts are priceless in our body. But what about someone  else? Do we even care? If our body parts are priceless, what value can we put on our God given talents or gifts? Let us share our gifts and let us connect ourselves to others to become a great machine for all of mankind. Listen my message on parts (gifts).

Water, word, action. Have ever thought about these 3 words in the context of you own survival? Take water for example. We cannot survive without water for more than 3 days as I understand but do not want to test the theory. Water is also used to cleanse ourselves. Without water we could not survive. Action is doing something in my simple definition. You cannot survive without action. I do not know how long the body can survive without some movement but is most likely responsible for early death in many an inactive person. Word as addressed here is God made flesh and lived among us. One could say that we can live without the word but I contend the word is also an essential part of our very survival. My opinion I know, but I feel strongly enough to say it as truth. You may choose to test the theory like no water for more than 3 days but not I! So there you have it! We cannot survive without water, word or action. So why fight it? Let’s take the life giving water of baptism, the Word to energize the water and combine with action to go make a difference in someone’s life. Listen to more below.
