We can never give one hundred percent of ourselves in the present if we keep dwelling on the past. Don’t Look Back by Lori Singh It is heartbreaking to see so many people live their lives camping out in the past that cannot be changed and turning their backs on a grand future. We all know it is impossible to be effective in two places simultaneousl…

It is a dangerous thing to live desiring for what was and making light of what is.

from Pride and Shame on Youversion What truths to do we need to take hold of in order to live a life of humility? First and foremost, we need to take to heart the opening line of Rick Warren’s, The Purpose-Driven Life: “It’s not about you.” This may seem a little, um . . . obvious, but so often in our culture we lose sight of this. Our lives tend t…

from Pride and Shame on Youversion What is the radical solution to pride and shame? Humility. Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

Our society (like most societies in history) holds up performa…

From Be the Hands and Feet By Nick Vujicic Read by Andi and Brian Hale You might be wondering, How can a person born without any limbs consider himself to be the hands and feet of Jesus on earth?
