The Power of Words
Words Can DestroyThe words you say and how you say them predict the quality of your life with no exceptions. God wants to use your tongue to create a great life and great relationships and to bless other people. But the devil wants to use your tongue to destroy your life, damage your family, and hurt other people. I know this because I have destroyed relationships with my words in the past. We live in a world that is vulgar, sarcastic, and verbally hateful. If you speak that same way you wi

Are We All God's Children?
False Statement
The other day I posted a comment on a page and got attacked by some people. One lady who tried to calm the situation commented, "Remember... we are all Gods children." One of my worst fears is that I will mislead someone so I pray that everyone does their due diligence before taking everything I say as fact. However when I hear something that I believe will mislead other I feel compelled to correct it. Please understand that I am in no way a bible scholar but the Bible is cl

Repent and Have Peace
God's PromiseGod said, “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins” (Isaiah 43:25). He also said, “For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:11-12).We all sin. I'm sure I do everyday, but God has provided the only solution for us to be restored to a relationship with Him. “If we confess our

Act On Love
Love AlwaysI have never seen a person who is a perfect example of love all the time. Some people are better than others. Not because they always feel like being a loving person or because they don't ever get offended but because they have learned to act on love. PatienceIf love is not easily angered, then a person with a “short fuse,” who becomes angry easily, is not showing love. Love is called “patient” in verse 4 and both love and patience are listed as fruit of the Spirit in Galatians.

Love Never Fails - Love Has No Boundaries
BoundariesI know this will create much debate but I would love to get everyone's opinion on this one! This goes against what almost every certified counselor will say, “You have to set boundaries to have a truly intimate love relationship.”I could probably make as many good arguments as they why limits and fences are a good idea in relationships. But wait! If you truly understand love, limits and fences are wrong. I’ll go so far as to say you can not truly love someone if you put up boundar

Unconditional Love
Unconditional LoveUnconditional love is so very hard for humans. We can learn so much about unconditional love from dogs. They do not care what you look like, if you loose your job, if you fail a test, or if you gain 100 pounds. Dogs love unconditionally. They want what is best for you. Dogs live to please you. They want to spend time with you. Dogs do not keep score of hurt, broken promises, or missed birthdays/anniversaries/holidays. They simply want to be in your presence, to love you, t

Pain
Pain
Pain is something we cannot escape. Something I’m learning is this, my circumstances, my problems, and my difficulties are not the actual enemy I’m fighting.
There is another enemy we confront daily—yet he is unseen.
Someone evil, deceitful, and calculated is trying “to take us down” every single moment of every single day. He is out to get us. He’s out for defeat. He is out for blood. He wants to make our lives a living hell. And sometimes— he does. Sometimes he wins. But only if we

The Power of Gentleness
GentlenessThe older I get the more I realize the power of gentleness. Most of my life I saw gentleness as weakness. Many men do! When your a young boy getting pushed around gentleness seems to exacerbate the situation. lol... I have learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong. Gentleness is a strong hand with a soft touch. It is a tender, compassionate approach toward others' weaknesses and limitations.TruthA gentle person still speaks tr

Don't Let Fear Destroy Your Relationship
FearFear is one of the most destructive forces in the world! It causes you to do the things that will make your fears come true and it rarely motivates the right behavior. Men view fear as weakness and use macho behavior mask it.I have found that most women don't even try to hide it. They are openly fearful of rejection, disconnection, abuse and not being valued. Core fears for women are disconnection, not being heard, and losing love and appreciation. Men are afraid of helplessness, being contr

Trust God's Word
Always trust God's Word - Nothing used to make me want to punch someone in the face more than Rudeness! And so Kenny doesn't catch heat for this one, this is Gabe. We were raised to always be respectful and our father would always say “I hate rude behavior in a man. I won’t tolerate it.” So for me it was natural to be very defensive when I encountered rude people.There is a reason why God commands us to love our enemy and if someone slaps you in the cheek offer the other one. I remember one s
