GRACE FULL

Grace is God’s approval and compassion imparted on those who do not deserve it and cannot earn it. “And of His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace” — John 1:16.  If God dealt with us only according to truth, none of us would survive. Thankfully, He deals with us on the basis of grace and truth. Jesus Christ, in His life, death, and resurrection, met all the requirements of the Law, now God is free to share the fullness of grace with those who trust Christ. Grace without truth would be deceitful and truth without grace would be condemning.

Christ-follower there is a fullness of life that satisfies the body and soul because this grace and truth has come through Jesus Christ. It has brought you a full and complete pardon from sin as it regenerates and sanctifies you into His perfect will for your life. You are promised this fullness by His grace regardless of comfort or discomfort, or times of weakness or strength, wealth or poverty. All of His wisdom, power, and love are but a few of the wonderful things that you have received. His grace always streams flowing full of living water to quench the conditions of your soul.
There is no excuse to run dry. Come and get grace full. Get all you need. In Christ Jesus is the inexhaustible treasure you desire. Grace is in easy-reach, Emmanuel—God with us.

The 80-20 Rule

In 1906, Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto created a mathematical formula to describe the unequal distribution of wealth in his country, observing that twenty percent of the people owned eighty percent of the wealth. The Pareto Principle, or 80/20 rule, states that 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.   Although this rule was first applied in Italy when Pareto was looking at the dispersal of wealth, it has since become a rule of thumb for many businesses.   It has been said that 20% of your workforce does 80% of the work, or 80% of your sales come from 20% of your clients.   I think this law comes into play in our lives as well.   Life is 20% what happens to you and 80% what you make of it. There are tons of stories about people who come out of difficult situations — gang life, in and out of jail, drug addiction, broken families, abuse – yet still seem to rise to the top.   And of course, there are many stories of those who have been given...

Control Yourself

When it comes to our life, we have nothing to say about our birth and little say about our death, but in between these two events most of the decisions are ours to be made. Are you letting life and circumstances control you, or are you controlling your own life and destiny with God’s help. Don't let life pass you by when you have the God-given ability to make things happen. I've heard it said: You can't control the length of your life, but you can control its use. You can't control your facial appearance, but you can control its expression. You can't control the weather, but you can control the moral atmosphere that surrounds you. You can't control the distance of your head above the ground, but you can control the height of the contents in your head. You can't control the other fellow's annoying faults, but you can see to it that you do not develop similar faults. Why worry about things you cannot cont...

Bounce Back

As a 7th grader in junior high school, I was devastated when I was cut from the starting 8th grade football team and sent to the second team.   I felt disappointed, embarrassed and dejected.   Latter that week, I spoke with my grandfather who passed on these words of wisdom, “It’s not how far you fall, but how high you bounce back that matters.”   I took those words to heart. The Bible says in Proverbs 25:11, “Timely advice is lovely, like golden apples in a silver basket.” I valued his wise words and committed to doing my best for this second string team, instead of pouting and complaining over my sense of failure. I committed to working hard, giving my all to bounce back. It served me well as I entered high school and played on two state championship teams. I learned that day that what happens to me in life doesn’t count as much as how I react to those things.   I had a choice the day I was cut from the team—I could wallow in misery and quit the team, or I ...
