Habit is as Habit Does

One of the painfully obvious truths for me to acknowledge is "habit is as habit does.” Habits are behavior and behavior never lies. Our habits determine our past, present, and future. Motivation gets me started, but habit is what keeps me going. We are creatures of habit, not creatures of motivation. The question I must ask myself is this:

"Are my habits helping or hurting my life?”

My Health habits? My Money habits? My Relationship habits? My Work habits? If you fill your days and nights with proper habits it will help you to stay away from the improper ones. God is a God of change and He will give us the power to rid ourselves of unsuccessful and destructive habits and replace them with successful and constructive ones!

the Importance of Remembrance

Hello Friends,

Having been a pastor now for over 30 years I often find it challenging to give the same message over and over, yet give it in such a way that people feel as though they had never heard it preached. Christmas season is one of those challenging times.

I enjoy Christmas yet I often feel stress in preparing Christmas messages that people will find joy and comfort in. But then I remember what C.S. Lewis said in his book Mere Christianity: "People need to be reminded more often than they need to be instructed.”

Wherever or however you experience Christmas, don’t forget that is a time to help others remember what Christ coming to the earth is all about. The angel told Mary "nothing is impossible with God!”
