Sat, 09 May 2015 02:00:00 GMT

As Christians we've made an agreement to not judge people no matter what. Don't allow your love to grow weary. Don't make decisions on the surface without digging in to find out who people are and why they're like the way they are. Don't have a lazy love.

Checkers 39: Let It Happen!

Wed, 15 Apr 2015 02:00:00 GMT

Too often, many Christians are accidentally playing the role of the Holy Spirit. We can't convert people, that's the Holy Spirit job. But we can provide fertile soil (LOVE) for the Holy Spirit to work!

Checkers 38: Blind Leading The Blind

Sat, 28 Mar 2015 17:00:00 GMT

Beware of who you're taking advice from in regards to the Holy Spirit people. Education, theology, experience, that doesn't mean anything to God. Love, grace, mercy, forgiveness are the roots of the Gospel & the roots of Jesus Christ. Think for yourself and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you. There are too many people that are allowing blind leaders to direct them in the church today.

Thu, 19 Mar 2015 17:00:00 GMT

Jesus died for your sins, so why are you tripping every time you fall back into sin? Not only did Jesus die for your sins, but He died to make you a fighter. Don't lay down, pout and moan you can't stop sinning. Just get back up from that sin and fight it again! God is using your sin to make you stronger! #Fight

Checkers 34: Love Your Enemies

Sun, 01 Mar 2015 22:00:00 GMT

Matthew 5:43-48

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Mon, 21 Apr 2014 13:00:00 GMT

Fri, 14 Mar 2014 13:00:00 GMT

Comparing yourself to men in the Bible that God used, where do you stack up? Do you have the fight of a Joshua? Do you have the aggression of a Samson? Do you have the grit of Peter? If you don't, then stop believing the lies and move forward.

Fri, 28 Feb 2014 13:00:00 GMT

Sun, 17 Nov 2013 13:00:00 GMT

Sat, 09 Nov 2013 13:00:00 GMT
