Richard Ellis Talks

Too often we get caught up in seeing the flaws of the authority over us, especially when it comes to our government. Rather than complain about the way things are being run, we should be constantly on our knees praying for the person in charge and asking God to work on that person’s heart, trusting God’s control more than losing heart by watching the flaws of man.

Most Christians start out on fire for God, sharing with everyone what God has done for them in saving them. But eventually other Christians can often influence them to tone it down and they lose their infectious nature of sharing the Gospel. We must carry the Gospel message to the world in such a viral way that it causes a pandemic to spread and lost souls to be infected. To support this ministry...

When we become Christians, we put to death our old life and walk in a new way, submitting to God in everything. Our flesh puts up a battle by reminding us of the sin that we’re missing out on, but when we hold fast to God and grow stronger through resisting the temptations, the sin becomes less and less missed in our lives and we realize that with God there’s nothing that satisfies us that we’re m...

Often times we can get caught up in our lives doing whatever it is we want to do and God comes along, calls us out and stops us in our tracks. When God uses something to get our attention, we need to stop, repent, and follow where He leads. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

There are many churches today that are more concerned with pleasing our culture rooted in sin rather than pleasing Jesus. It is more important that we live submitted to Christ and letting Him lead us so that we may lead others to Him. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

The world is full of accepted beliefs that Scripture teaches is just not true. No matter how much we have been told something, or how fervently we believe it, if it doesn’t match up with Scripture it is not true. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

The more we understand that it’s by God’s grace that He picked us to be part of His people in the first place, the more humbled we are and can share the Gospel message with others. As we draw nearer to Jesus, we realize that the people all around Him are a diverse people brought together in unity because of Him.

We are going to have pain in this life, but God has a bigger plan through which His glory comes out of our mourning. We must seek Him at all times, especially during tragedy and He will put joy in our hearts that no one around us may understand but nothing can take it from us.

It’s easy to make judgments about other people when we are ignorant of their lives and backgrounds. Instead of staying ignorant, we need to seek to learn from others so as to share the Gospel with them in a way that they can understand.

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. The Bible tells us to run the race in such a way so as to win, and so we must look to Jesus and keep running, allowing Him to work in and through us to strengthen and equip us for all that is in the path.

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. As we are on this island, we should be utilizing our time to share the Good News so that others may find salvation and no longer be lost with an emptiness in their life that only God can fill.

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. We are not to even play with fire, but instead focus on our work and maintaining a great reputation with everyone. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/640/29

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. Instead of gossiping about others or making ourselves look better than we are, we must be diligent in our work and remember that ultimately we’re working for God.

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. The way we access this is by growing in relationship with Jesus, and that can be helped through discipleship with other believers.

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. Regardless of the possibility of feeling uncomfortable, we must be willing to say yes to God when He calls us to reach out to other people.

When we look at ourselves simply for who we are, we do not normally see someone great. However, because God is in us if we have chosen to follow Him, He has adopted us into His family and it is only because of Him that we are great.

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. Just as others may have held us up in prayer at times when we thought we couldn’t make it, we must also hold others up in prayer and follow the Holy Spirit’s prompting for obedience.

We don’t have to do huge things to please God, but rather it’s in the small changes everyday that we sacrifice ourselves for His sake that He is pleased.
