What have you decided today or even before that you are going to be or do in your life? Every one of our decisions in life begins with a DECIDED HEART, from the relatively simple choice of drinking water instead of soda to the much more life-impacting choice of being faithful to your spouse or [...]

Everything Begins With A Decided Heart
A Decided Heart
I was at conference this weekend, and the one piece of wisdom that struck my heart the most soundly was this: “Everything begins with a decided heart.” I pondered how this applies to every single thing we do in our lives, good or bad. I am going to be discussing this in my post [...]
God Prepared Our Works In Advance
“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” – Ephesians 2:10 We have proceeded to the final portion of this verse, “…which God prepared in advance for us to do.” In prior posts, we looked at what it meant to be [...]
You Were Created To Do Good Works
We are going to look briefly at the 3rd part of Ephesians 2:10 today. In my last two posts about this verse, we learned some very valuable information about who we are in Christ.

You Are Created In Christ Jesus

Blog Referral
My friends, God has once again stepped in and directed today’s post in a different direction from what I had planned. As you know, if you read my last two posts, I had planned to continue dissecting Ephesians 2:10. Well, I suppose that has been postponed until Friday (I hope). Today, instead, I want to [...]
Equality Not To Be Grasped
I had intended on continuing with my discussion of Ephesians 2:10 with today’s post, but I heard something on Saturday that I just had to share. I will hopefully get back to Ephesians on Wednesday. On Saturday, I went to a wedding for a good friend of mine. The entire service was extremely Christ-centered, even [...]
