ONE NEW YEAR’S NIGHT LONG AGO….
Saturday, December 29th, 2012
It has long been known that history repeats itself. The oft quoted quip of Santayana has been stated in many ways since, but it still stands that “Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.” The things of the past are our tutors. We lean and trust on those with silver crowns because its by their wisdom and experience that we learn the lessons of life and good decision making. We also learn from histories how nations stand and how they fall by searching out their strengths and weaknesses—what their leaders stood for and what they stood against. Those who fail to do so throw caution to the wind and their leadership is marked out by the fickleness of emotionalism, narcissism, the lusts of the flesh, and a thirst for success and power rather than the discipline of the soul; moreover, whether in their day or in the days that follow destruction eventually ensues.CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE
FROM REPENTANCE TO RENEWAL – HOW TO START 2011 RIGHT!
Monday, January 3rd, 2011Each year, half the civilized world – millions and millions of people – make New Year’s Resolutions…only to break them by February! Yet…folks go right back and do it all over again! This is NOT what God expects from His people, believe it or not!
God is interested in Holiness, without which no one will see Him, period! Does that mean we go live in a tree like a Monk and never watch TV or eat Buffalo Wings??!! NO!! It’s a matter of the Heart.
He gave us the Gift of Christ and we get to go spend eternity with Jesus if we accept Him as Lord and Savior. But He also expects us to live a full life of Peace, Joy, Contentment and Obedience.
I did this show almost three years ago to fill in for a friend on his local TV show and was inspired by the Holy Spirit to share the process to Victorious Living…and it’s perfect to begin a new life or year or ministry with!! I say this with confidence knowing these are not my thoughts or Words and I gave Holy Spirit all the Glory! I go through steps from Repentance that leads to restoration that leads to renewal that leads to revival and rejoicing! Now, let’s be resolved to do these!! AMEN!! (BL)
