One Session

We can still be productive, but don’t try to do a month’s work in one day. Do your work with excellence and determine how much of that work you can do when you work well.

If you grab hold to that tree, which is the cross, you can be rescued from anything. Don’t let anything in life take you over the cliff—hang on to the cross where you will be safe.

Walking on Water

I believe that today Jesus is inviting people to step out from where they think they are secure and move out on the water to walk towards Him. He has a plan for your life today.

Cornhole

I have a feeling that their leadership will produce a lot of followers. I’m wondering what the next new college sport will be that attracts attention. Good leaders can make something good out of any sport or any situation in life.

School Shootings

To eradicate the problem, we need to focus on making the best use of our time, energy, and resources. I believe that would include training for police officers. How well are you being trained today for things that are important in life?

Taking Risks

What if David had not taken the risk of facing the giant Goliath? What if Moses had not taken the risk of freeing his people from slavery? What if you don’t take the risk of what God is calling you to do today?
