SACRIFICE TO BE GREAT
"I am worth it. I am someone he cares about. He believes in me. He thinks I’m good enough to become something far greater, than what I am now. He said he’d give up his whole life for me." AND THAT’S WHAT HE DID. My friends, he did this even though he could have called down... Continue Reading →

GRATITUDE AND A CRY FOR HELP
I'm thankful with Thanksgiving because I still live in "God's country" a beautiful natural world that was exquisitely designed for our enjoyment!

BUT IF we don't stop the greed from the use... Continue Reading →

DON’T DOWNGRADE YOUR DREAMS – EVER!
Sometimes reality sucks. It slams you up against a brick wall and you're stuck there. Life as you dreamed it seems far, far away. Should you just settle for what is?

LET’S TALK ABOUT SUPERNATURAL POWER: CHRISTIAN STYLE
"Me? Climb a mountain? No way." That's what I thought at first when friends suggested we climb the heights of Cathedral Peaks in the province of British Columbia, Canada. But hey, I'm supposed to be empowered – I'm supposed to walk by faith, not by sight.¹ Anyway, that's my definition of being a Christian. Because... Continue Reading →

ENGINEERING SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE
"Jesus saves you. The Bible tells me so." "Yah, but what does he save us from?" It is pretty hard to wrap your head around that salvation term, isn’t it?

LAW OF SURVIVAL – CELESTIAL LAWS Part 2
Human beings are the most important endangered species on our planet…because now we are capable of obliterating our whole human race.
