Richard Ellis Talks

The Bible makes it very clear that there is a distinct line separating those who are for Christ and those who are against Him. You cannot be on the fence. God has either put His Spirit in you to draw you to proclaim Jesus as Messiah and live for Him, or you follow the spirit against Him and are anti-Christ.

We all need encouragement every now and then, but few people are willing to give it in fear of building a big ego. Rather than letting anything stop us from encouraging others, we should simply encourage them as God leads us to, and let God deal with a person’s ego. Although God does not need it, He loves for us to praise Him, and in doing so we ourselves gain encouragement. To support this minist...

Once we get to the point of receiving God’s grace, we are able to see our lives through the lens of being created and used for His purposes.

While there are many different kinds of people in the world rich, poor, simple, smart, etc. the fact is that all of us are shipwrecked and need a Savior.

Men tend to find their value in their work, and because of that they lose all sense of importance in the case of a job loss. Instead of trusting in other men or a corporation, we must put our trust in God who promises to sustain us and carry us through His good and perfect will for our lives.

The Proverbs 31 woman is the kind of woman any man should look for because she works hard at the tasks God has given her. If God is laying on a woman’s heart to stay home for a time while her children are young to raise them, she must obey His leading because it’s a season of life that she’ll never get back.

The workplace can introduce relationships that may begin innocent but lead down a path of ungodly behavior to the detriment of ourselves and our marriages at home.

God has placed us at our jobs for His purpose, and we must be a reflection of Him to those with whom we are working.

Once the Holy Spirit dwells in us when we are saved by faith in Jesus, we have access to every blessing, every power, every bit of knowledge we need to live a godly life.

Everyone has different struggles with sin, but they all fall under similar categories because the devil only has so many kinds of arrows. When we continue to entertain thoughts of those sins, we are living in disobedience to God and we will suffer consequences. Surrender to Him and live in the freedom that He offers.

Just as Peter in the Bible was taught that God loves and accepts all people of any sort, even those previously seen as unclean, we must be willing to look at others through God’s eyes.

While we believe that God is all-knowing and all-powerful to intervene for us on our behalf, He has also invited us into the practice of intercessory prayer.
