Commit to Productive Thinking

I’m sure you've heard the expression, "Whatever your mind can conceive, you're potentially capable of achieving." The Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans proved this by building complicated structures with minimum engineering tools. Think of how far Western civilization has evolved over the past 300 years to the high-tech culture of today.

This is hard to imagine, but for researchers, first there is a thought, then a challenge, which evolves into manifestations of creativity. The end result of ideas will lie dormant if time and experiment are not given to discover their potentiality.

God is not restricted to whom or where he gives insight and wisdom. Listen carefully to God’s word from Psalm 19:7: "The laws of the Lord are trustworthy and perfect, giving strength, wisdom and understanding to the mind of those who obey them." By loving God with your entire mind, who knows what you could accomplish for him that would last for all eternity? Why not commit to that today?

Since before time began no one has ever imagined, no ear heard, no eye seen, a God like you who works for those who wait for him.

~Isaiah 64:4 The Message

Golden Opportunities: Hard Choices - Part 3

Everyone has values for choosing how life should be lived. Jesus put our choices into perspective. "Enter by the narrow gate; for the wide is the gate and easy the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter it. Narrow is the gate and hard the way that leads to life and few are those who find it." What is your honest response to these words?

I asked a man in his late thirties if he could ask one thing from God, what would it be? After a long silence, he said, "A clean heart that’s been forgiven, one that absent of the guilt and shame I’ve brought on myself."

To enter the narrow gate requires examining your values. Put into perspective what's on the other side of the narrow gate that awaits you. "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, or can the mind imagine what lies in store for those who choose to love God." God creates in us a new heart when we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior.  Will you do that?
