MORE THAN a Substitute

“Jesus didn’t just die for me, He died as me! What’s more, He was buried and rose again as me; that is, in my place, knowing that I was unable to do so, much less efficaciously. This…and nothing but this.” Pastor/Coach/Entrepreneur/Author of Wealth with God curriculum, Jim Baker.

Repentance Fosters Forgiveness

Forgive yourself by (forgiving others and) changing (your fallen, selfish ways).

The “Father of all lies…”

Truth told without finesse doesn’t negate the damnableness of deception, especially self-deception. Just look at Lucifer, who still thinks he’ll win as satan…

Diverse…or insane?

‘Diversity’ at the price of true liberty and unity is insanity.

True Winning = Timeless Results.

“Competing at the highest level is not about winning. It’s about preparation, courage, understanding and nurturing your people…and heart (passion, otherness). Winning is the result.” Joe Torre, champion U. S. baseball player, manager and league executive, as quoted by Charlie Kirk in his book, How We Win, pg. 38 (emphases and words in parenthesis added by me).

Ownership Training

“A tennis player trains by practicing tennis.

A singer trains by singing.

Our stewardship over the finances entrusted to us is our “training for reigning.” Our learning to “reign with Christ” and co-labor with Him to bring Heaven to Earth starts with how we handle the money in our hand.”

Pastor/Speaker/Writer/Entrepreneur James Baker, Wealth with God FB page (posted 3/18/24).

Prayer Secret

“The secret of faith is to believe (God’s Word) in advance what will only make sense in reverse.” Philip Yancey, as quoted by Rev. Ken Gurley in The Book on Prayer, pg. 243.

Wise Love.

“You can judge how far you have risen in the scale of life by asking one question: ‘How wisely and how deeply do I care?’ To be ‘Christianized’ is to be sensitized. Christians are people who care.” E. Stanley Jones. (“So…first be wise in your caring…and that will dictate how much care you show.” Commentary by Denny Beckham.)
