Who Are You Focused On?

Too many times we talk about what we want and what we need. And don't talk about what God wants and what he needs from us. In the world we live in today its easy to lose our way we start out on fire and focused but along the way we can get off track.. Why does this happen? It happens because we put our guards down and we listen to everyone and everything around us. When we do this we slide back into a state of thinking we can do it ourselves and that we don't need God. God has called us to follow him and  seek after him. None of us are perfect but all of us can be better and seek to be more like Jesus each day. Learn from your past and your shortcomings and grow each day. Don't let people hinder you from your purpose and your call. I remember when I first got into ministry I would have to get validation from people to feel like I did the right thing or spoke the right word. But i quickly learned that you can't please people and your not suppose to. Once I went after what God wanted me to do I was able to lose fear that my best wasn't good enough for people and I focused more on pleasing God and being the best person I could be.



Focus- The center of interest or activity.



Death Penalty For Pastor?

Iranian Christian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani has been charged, convicted and sentenced to death for apostasy (becoming a Christian.) When Iranian officials demanded that he recant his faith in Jesus Christ or die, he responded, “I cannot.” He has been illegally imprisoned and separated from his wife and two boys since 2009. This man exemplifies a true Christian who is willing to sacrifice everything in this life on earth for his faith the question I ask today is how strong is your faith and would you be willing to do the same?

Pastor Youcef

We must take a stand for what we believe and not shy away from things when they become hard and challenging. No one should be proscuted for what they believe and stripped away from their family this is a major injustice that deserves every bit of attention that it’s receiving. And we all can learn a thing or two from this story and this man I ask that you pray for his family as well as his strength during this time

What Are You Doing?

When was the last time you lead someone with your actions and not just your words? I read a great quote that said "If your actions inspire others to dream more. learn more, do more and become more. your a leader."I see too many people in leadership positions that don't understand what it means to lead others we all have a voice but not all of us use it. The question I ask is what are you doing? The word doing means, the activities in which a particlar person engages. so better yet what are you engaged in right now in your life and is it getting your closer to God and your future?



"What are you doing?'

 This is something that we must think about from time to time because its easy to lose our focus. I have learned the best way to not lose focus is to never lose it to begin with. This is why its very important to keep good people around you and people who are moving foward in life and not causing you to go back. When we lose our focus and when we aren't engaged in things that are of God we not only hurt ourselves, but we hurt the people around us. So I ask again what are you doing? Be an example for someone and understand it's not about you. Let your actions speak and your words follow stay focused and trust God to guide your path.
