Christians running the race of life frequently get tripped up by matters of money. Whose money is it really? Is it mine to do with as I please, or am I just taking care of it for someone else? Christ had much to say about money, which we will learn about shortly.

For every Olympic track star, there are thousands of runners who will never make the team. Yet that is no reason to give up. Many believers with few talents approach life with a clenched fist rather than an open hand.  
April 10, 2014
Although we are not equal in abilities, we are equal in our obligation to use our abilities wisely. In Bible times, a talent was a large sum of money. Today it signifies any giftedness. Either way, the parable of the talents shows us how to manage what we have well.

We are all given gifts and abilities. It is not about how many we have, but how we use them that determines the outcome of our lives. Rather than complain about what we don’t have, let’s focus today on how to best use what we’ve been given.  
April 8, 2014
As believers, how we use our time determines our effectiveness for God. At the end of this life, we will be judged by our deeds, deeds that took place as the clock ticked off the minutes, days, and years. 
April 7, 2014
For the Christian, time is a vital, non-renewable resource. Like a coin, it can only be spent once. Why not invest the next fifteen minutes learning how to best use your time?  
April 4, 2014
When running life’s race, the clock is relentless. Once gone, time cannot be reclaimed.  The Bible teaches believers to be “redeeming the time, for the days are evil.” Time must be used wisely every day.

“For without faith it is impossible to please God….” By faith we know that nothing can separate us from the love of God, not even death. The Christian knows that the worst life has to offer is but a steppingstone to glory.

Romans 8 contains some of the greatest words ever penned. Paul says that nothing in all creation will ever separate believers in Jesus from the love of God.   
April 1, 2014
They are among the most soaring words ever penned, the Apostle Paul’s conclusion to Romans chapter eight. He lists all the things that cannot separate us from the love of God. If you are treading some deep water right now, you have come to the right place.
