Do Not Rely on Your Own Understanding...

Proverbs 3:1-12 HCSB
 
Trust the Lord
 
1My son, don’t forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commands;
2for they will bring you
many days, a full life, and well-being.
3Never let loyalty and faithfulness leave you.
Tie them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4Then you will find favor and high regard
in the sight of God and man.
5Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own understanding;
6think about Him in all your ways,
and He will guide you on the right paths.
7Don’t consider yourself to be wise;
fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
8This will be healing for your body
and strengthening for your bones.
9Honor the Lord with your possessions
and with the first produce of your entire harvest;
10then your barns will be completely filled,
and your vats will overflow with new wine.
11Do not despise the Lord’s instruction, my son,
and do not loathe His discipline;
12for the Lord disciplines the one He loves,
just as a father, the son he delights in.

This Article was originally posted on Doublewingonline Coaching Football: Jesus Style Mark Jackson, Christian Assistant Football Coach Grandview High School Kansas City, MO Coach Pitcher goes over the special teams depth chart one last time, next Coach Goltra reminds the team one last time of the keys to success on defense. Now it is my turn, I try to eloquently hit the tree points necessary for us to be successful on offense; establish the Power by getting a play side push from our offensive line, be able to protect the play action, and make sure that we play our “up” tempo style of no huddle. “Gentlemen, play fast tonight, if you are more physical than them then you will win this game. Remember focus and intensity, but focus comes first! All right now, let’s pray.” I usually pick a player to lead the prayer, they sometimes fumble through it or seem very nervous, but I am always encouraged by the sincerity of the prayer. When the players finish praying we always do one last thin...

January 26, 2015 Promises of God

Surviving in a World Gone Mad I don't know about you, but as a Christian when I watch the news or listen to the media / celebrities, I find myself getting angry.  We live in a "politically correct" world where truth is under attack.   Too many people get their beliefs from the media / celebrities.  I do not really care what Oprah or the ladies on the View believe or think.  These people are not Christians and carry a non biblical worldview.  It is time as Christians that we get back to allowing the Word of God to be the source and authority on truth. In the meantime, how do we get by in these difficult times.  The promise, along with a warning about these days is in the scripture below.  In the middle of this passage that sounds like it was written directly to 2015 American is a promise -- "but I am with you in spirit,"  and then later in verse 6 "walk in Him".  Then comes the ultimate promise is verse 15, "He triumphed over them by Him."...
