Who are Great People?

I have heard the question many times over the years, how does someone become great?
You will hear various answers from many points of view. I heard it said the best, in my opinion, when I heard,

"Great people are people who make other people great."

Don't Let The Start Stop You

  I read a quotation some time ago that is well worth repeating, “It’s the start that stops most people.” I believe the thought behind the quote is the fact that people have great ideas, but haven’t acted on them yet. But, as soon as they start taking action, they discover that it is much more difficult than they anticipated. This results in them becoming a non-starter.   Don’t be the person who has the idea to start, but when you start, you find that it involves more work than you expected and you decide to quit. Consider the possibility that if you push through, that you may fulfill that dream you have had for a long time.   You may remember basketball great Michael Jordan. During his heyday, a saying was coined through much television promotion, “Be like Mike”. He was the most decorated basketball player in his time. He appeared in numerous television commercials, including shoes that bore his name. They were called Air Jordan’s. Mike also appeared in movies. ...

Who Do The Chosen Talk To

Luke 1:26-45 NKJV 26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!” 29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. 30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” 34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” 35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Hol...

Ask And You Shall Receive

John 16:23-24 NKJV 23 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.   24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full." As the scripture states, whatever we ask the Father in the name of Jesus, he will give it to us. This takes place, first of all, because you have relationship with God himself, since you are born again. Considering that you are born again, when you ask anything from the Lord, you have His favor on your life. If you are not asking anything, you should not expect anything. The Lord tells us to ASK! What will happen when you ask? You will receive what you ask, assuming it lines with God's will for your life. What is it's purpose? That your joy may be full. Remember the joy of the Lord is your strength. So, if your joy is full, it means you have great strength to accomplish what God has purposed for you.
