Start Your Day With Faith

Accepting God's love is a life changing event.  Growing that relationship is sometimes challenging.  Ever had a day that you felt a little weak?

It's not a surprise, but we move in an out of a solid, loving relationship with God.  Question is, how do you get back into that relationship.

What does it feel like to receive God's love?  It's different for every person, but it is always a game changer when it happens.  

How does it happen?  What about our children?  Frustrating, yes it is.  But there is a way to break the addiction.

On the golf course we get a mulligan occasionally.  In life, we also have a few mulligans tucked away.  Do you need a second chance?

Lying is like an addiction.  The more we lie, the more often we lie.  Is that something you struggle with?

Prayer can be an elusive time, especially if we are not totally prepared to enter into prayer.  So, do you have a prayer routine?

We all get tired of life sometimes.  God has a plan for our lives and gives us hope and the power to never give up.  Not easy, but essential.

This little light of mine, how bright does it shine in your life?  Maybe it's time to change the batteries.

We try to do our best and sometimes we fall short of what we believe God wants of us.  But how good are we at being a Christian?

We wake up refreshed and wonder how our day is going to play out.  Great intentions, but have we aligned our day with what God has in store for us?

It seems like some people just love getting into a bad place.  Being there, especially uninvited, can destroy you.  Think first before you go there.

Contrary to popular belief, you are NOT always right.  So, can you handle being wrong somtimes?

Ever hear the saying, trouble always finds me?  It's more like, we find trouble through our behavior.  How many times have you touched the hot stove?

We all strive to be our best every day.  So, what does God expect of us?

Yeah, you're talented, in so many ways.  There is more of you to go around than you know.  God put us here on earth to be the voice, the eyes and ears, the hands and feet, you get the idea.  Have you discovered your talent(s).  Time to share.

God gives us energy each day.  How we use that energy is up to us.  Be sensitive to the things that surround you, each day.  Then be ready to respond to the need.  It's out there and it happens every day.  Are you tuned in?

We have so many self-help books out there.  And everyone has an opinion of how to avoid those speed bumps.  Guess what, just one book has all the answers.  Yeah, that one.

You might be listening to this podcast as you roll out of bed.  Surprise, you did something great to start your day.  Now, let's not loose that connection as you rush through your busy, sometimes frustrating, day.  

Well, church isn't a bad start.  But God is where you are.  Because God is with you at all times and in all places.  Try a quiet place and get to know Him.  He's right there.

This is a tough one.  Or is it?  The laws are clearly written but those who break the law also a deeper issue.  It's called balance and making that balance happen isn't always easy.  Look to God for direction.

Kids are a tough audience because they can see and hear your message clearer than anyone.  You can teach, but one of the best ways to teach faith is by demonstrating faith.  How about this morning in today's Sunday School Class?

Are you listening to this podcast right after waking up?  Still tired?  Discover how this early hour can be a springboard to an energized day in Christ.

You can't listen when you're talking.  You can't learn when you're not listening.  Resist the urge to speak and instead build the urge to listen.  You (and we) have a lot to learn.

Aren't you amazed at those who can come between a conflict and capture an end result that has quieted the fire and discovered resolution.  Not an easy task, but easier when you seek the wisdom of God, first.
