What you think your life is for…(or what you think you’re here to DO) determines whether something is a waste or not. So for some people, it would be a waste not to travel the world and stay at the nicest hotels – if, let’s say, they won a free trip or something all expenses [...]

The “homework” of the previous post is to figure out what’s really written on your heart (so to speak) to reveal some core beliefs that have shaped your life… Someone asks, “Why don’t you just tell us what we’re SUPPOSED to believe?” “Why do we have to figure out ‘what we’re living for?’” Couple of [...]

People LOVE giving advice. Someone whose life is in shambles will gladly give younger people advice on how to live, and then authenticate it with “trust me, I know from experience…” Single people love giving friends advice about relationships. People with entry level positions are quick to give younger people career advice. And there’s no [...]

Okay here’s the “part 2″ on “How to date if you really trust God as your Savior…” At some point in the dating process, if all goes well you enter the stage of the relationship where you’re wondering, “should I marry this person?” ”Can I marry this person?” I’m calling this part of the dating [...]

If you knew you only had a little while to live, would you quit your job? Many people say “heck yeah!” But would you stop feeding your dog? I mean, what does it matter – you won’t need a dog when you’re dead right? Would you leave your spouse and family? I mean, you’re not [...]

[Another video of the same cat, doing stuff... Really? is this what it's come down to??] Living faith makes you DO stuff. But what kind of stuff does it do? I’m NOT going to try to say what you should do – I don’t know what *you* should do right now… But to give you [...]
