Systems!

Albert Einstein said, " The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again even though it doesn't work." Most of us can relate to that! We have all tried doing things the same way expecting different results. Those things we have tried doing we can call our systems. Everyone has a system for how they do things. 

We have systems for making money and handling money, we have systems for how we do relationships, we have systems for how we learn, systems for how we worship, and systems for how we work. 

That being the case we have to ask ourselves two questions. 1. Do my systems work? 2. If not, why haven't I changed my systems so they do work? 

In reality, thats what following Christ is all about. Jesus came to show us that our systems are broken, they don't work, so we should follow his systems. If we do so we will be blessed on earth and in heaven. 

For every system you have working in your life that is failing,  Jesus has a replacement that will succeed. He calls those systems The Kingdom of God. Which is God's way of doing and being right. If you work God's systems in your life they will produce positive results 30, 60, 100 fold. 

So check out your systems, abandon the ones that are contrary to his, and prepare for a blessing.

Financial Peace

I am really excited to recommend and encourage anyone and everyone to sit through Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University, Its practical, timely, and biblically based. Whoever hears these words and does them is building his house and family on a rock.

The bible says, "Get wisdom and get understanding." Dave has it, God has blessed him with it, and the system will work if you work the system. So to all my blogger friends, Get Ur Done! 

Be Blessed

For The Glory of God!

That's why you were created, to live for the glory of God. Have you considered that lately? How different would your life be if you really lived to glorify God? What would the day be like? Would you wake up with a sense of purpose? What would work be like? Would you work with a little more joy in your heart, a spring in your step, a smile on your face knowing its all for God? 

If how you treat others glorifies God or takes away from God's glory would you change a few things? If your generosity glorifies God would you be more generous? Why am I saying all this? 

Because the Apostle Paul said, "Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God!" If your looking for a reason to give life meaning I just handed you the greatest one of all. Use your life, your gifts, your abilities, your mind, your voice, your time, your talent, your treasure, use it all for God's glory and you will never go wrong.

One more question, ARE YOU LIVING FOR HIS GLORY OR YOUR OWN?

Blessings

Pleasing God

Hey Bloggers, 

A desire to please God seems to be what many people lack in their lives today. What an empty way to live. If all I ever have to be concerned about is pleasing me then my life will be pretty shallow at best. 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, Whatever you do, to it all to the glory of God. That doesn't sound like were supposed to live only for us. 

It sounds like were supposed to live only for Him. Pleasing Him, there's a concept. That requires faith, obedience, and change. Hebrews 11:6 says, "Without faith it is impossible to please God, for anyone that would come to God must believe that He exists and is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." 

So believe, diligently seek, and get ready for God's rewards, they are already on the way for the ones that please Him.

Be Blessed
