The truth is it says nothing about you. It does say a whole lot about the people around you, but nothing about you. What says something about you is if the people around you are loved. It’s the same thing with not being loved. It normally says very little about us, but a lot about the people around us. If everyone struggles to love us, that may be an indication that we are hard to love and that we need to strive to be more loving and become easier to love. Jesus Christ was love. No one has ever …

The Common Mistake We Make When We Try to Heal or Succeed I’ll share with you two examples in my life of one common mistake we all make when we are trying to heal or succeed at something. That common mistake is that we don’t make a long steady push in the same direction. We push in the right direction but not long enough. We push for a while and we get tired when we don’t see any results; and we think we are pushing the wrong way, so we change directions when we shouldn’t have. Many years ago, I …

I would like to talk with you today about why so many highly successful people are empty. They are empty because they fill themselves, and a tree isn’t nourished by its own fruit. So, if we fill ourselves, we feed off our own fruit and we are malnourished. It’s not success that makes us empty. It’s depending on our success to fill us that does that. The world teaches us we should get all we can. We should can it and then we should bury the can, and that’s what leaves us empty. Matthew 6:21 …

When a person in their anger and their rudeness takes something from us or hurts you—we think we have to figure out how to get what they took from us back. So, we go and we take back more than they took from us to begin with. The only problem is that when we do this, we can’t remain patient. We can’t remain kind, truthful, protective of others and trusting. We give up those things which help us live a loving life, just to get revenge. Revenge may fill our basket and fill our hearts, but it empti …

Dear Jordan Peterson WATCH VIDEO Congratulations, sir. What an honor, really, that psychology actually want to revoke your license. Minor psychologists feed off the flesh of hurting people. You are a loving man. You are seeking the truth. You are turning the lights on in the darkness And they are scared to death of that. And honestly, they should be. I say, take whatever training it is they want to force you to take to keep your license. But demand it’s all video recorded. Th …

My Biggest Fear My biggest fear is that I mislead you. That I wake up one day and realize that I have misled thousands of people on social media and I have misled thousands of people by writing a book not based on truth. Even worse is that I misled my own family, because I didn’t believe the truth. What has concerned me the most is that I have a hard time finding any social media influencers that I agree with and any modern authors I agree with. If you think I am wrong, please tell …

Insecurity Is Not Your Problem Your problem is believing the lie that you should be secure. You know you’re not, but you are told that you should be. So, you fight to be something that you can’t be, and that’s a trap. Nothing concerns me more than someone who believes they are totally secure in and of themselves. They are foolish, because they are just like you and me. They are not really secure, either. You can’t manufacture security. The only place we find security is in Christ. Whe …

Why People ‘Fall Out of Love’?People don’t really fall in and out of love. Someone chooses to love so the feeling of love is there; or they fail to love, so the feeling of love dies and goes away.When two people are loving each other, they are both patient, kind, truthful, protective of others, trusting, hopeful and persevering. They are choosing to love and they are choosing to act on love.The result is the fruitfulness, the feeling of love in both of their lives. We say they “fell in love” or …

The Tool Used Most Often to Manipulate You…is empathy.There are only two ways to manipulate people. One is you terrify them. You make them afraid of you so they will follow your fear. The other is an excessive amount of never-ending empathy. So, they will follow their own fear.What they are trying to do is keep on taking you back to your hurt so you stay offended and afraid.All this because fear-led people are easily manipulated. When we are afraid and we are led by fear, we just want to get out …
