Should You Do What Feels Right?This truth will change your life: should you do what you feel is right?God didn’t give you feelings so you would follow them. My feelings could care less what is right.What is right to me is how you make me feel right now. You hurt me then I hurt you worse. You love me and I love you more until you hurt me.So. I’m letting you and my feelings control my life. All that leads me to fight for lies that destroy me; and leads me to encourage others to destroy their live …

Why Does God Allow Evil?This is a difficult question for most people. And I would guess it is a big reason many people choose not to believe. The simplest way to look at this question is to examine God’s nature and his desire for mankind. God loves us and wants us to love him back. If your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife had no choice about loving you, would you feel the same about him or her? God could have made us like robots without the ability to make choices but we’d be forced to do …

One thing that will destroy God’s plan for your life is an unwillingness to repent.You know if we go the wrong way, we have to be willing to admit it and to say,”I don’t want to go the wrong way, I want to go the right way.”It’s not really that hard to determine if we are going the wrong way or the right way.It can be very difficult to have the courage to self-exam. But we can’t be the plaintiff or the defendant in our own lives. If we try, we are going to wreck ourselves.We have to be willing t …

This is one way to know that someone is using you -- not loving you.This isn’t the only way to know but it is a major red flag.If someone is unwilling to criticize you or challenge you; to rebuke you or tell you the truth in love, that you need to change – they are not loving you.If they are unwilling to risk their relationship with you -- not willing to risk you no longer loving them -- in order to share the truth with you and what is truly best for you: they are not loving you, they’re loving …

One way to know you are going in the wrong direction is if everyone else is going the same direction.You know, the world is led by fear. We say: the world this, the world that. What is the world?The world is selfishness and it’s lead by fear so it’s always doing what’s best for itself, without regard for others. The world is always doing what feels right.So, you think, if everybody else is doing it, it can’t be wrong. No, no, no!! If everybody else is doing it, it almost can’t be right. Because …

If someone tells you they can heal your wounds, they are manipulating you. People can stop hurting us but they can’t fix the hurt they caused.Them loving you makes it easier for you to love -- but whether they love you or not -- if you love, you find healing.Being loved doesn’t heal anyone! Only loving does that and if anyone tells you loving yourself will heal you, please run for your life. It’s a trap!No Jesus no love. Know Jesus, know love!I remembered when I first started teaching on the “Th …

This was way too important to me to throw up a black screen for a day.The truth is that each life matters to God, because he created each life -- but no one life matters more than another.We are all sinners. God loves the sinner, not the sin.The whole world can say to you your life doesn’t matter and treat you as if it doesn’t. That doesn’t make your life not matter.The whole world can say to you and treat you like your life matters, but that doesn’t make your life matter.What makes your life ma …

I am sure I am jumping into a blender on this, but no one is talking about the truth. No one is talking about the real problem.It’s easy for all of us to see clearly—any sensible person knows that his life was senselessly taken by a selfish man.Was it race? I don’t know if it was race or not.But if it was race, race is still not the problem.Race is a fruit of the problem.Until we deal with the root of the problem, nothing’s going to change. And the rioting, the rioting is a trap that is laid i …

No, they don’t.Bad decisions don’t destroy God’s plan for our lives, but bad decisions certainly do have consequences.All decisions have consequences. I believe we are going in the direction we’re going because of the decisions we are making.It is so important we make loving decisions -- decisions that consider the best interest of others.We say God’s in control, but he is in control when we give him control.God doesn’t follow us wherever we want to go, he wants us to follow him.So, when we are …
