Love your neighbor as yourself” (the Golden Rule) is the second great commandment.  It’s easy to say, but what exactly does it mean?  How our nation would be changed if we PRACTICED it! 

This famous law was originally spoken by God in Leviticus 19:18.  I did not know, however, that there are seven applications that lead up to that law:

My 20th grandchild came into the world a couple of weeks ago. As we reached that milestone, I have some thoughts on how God has blessed us and what that means on a daily basis.

In a spiritual battle, your armor is critical. Check out every piece to be sure you are not exposed to the enemy.

Situations can look hopeless. I had a hopeless situation that presented itself last Sunday when four scuba divers were lost 50 miles offshore from North Carolina. One of them was my son-in-law’s Dad…

When life feels like it is spinning out of control, remember that you are a lump of clay on God’s pottery wheel. Here are some ways He “shapes you on the wheel.”

When situations look impossible, remember that God has mighty resources at His disposal that are small in the world’s eyes. In Israel’s case, it was the “hornet.”

We all fail and fall. The secret of progress is a new set of hinds’ feet.

Life completely changes when you look at “reward” instead of “risk,” “grapes” instead of “giants.”

Don’t be frightened of the upheaval in banking, inflation, and borrowing. “Under His wings” is where you need to stay.

On the other side is the Holy Spirit, the one who brings faith and positivity. How can you overcome skepticism in the power of the Holy Spirit?

Balance is critical to progress in your marriage, family, business, and career.

Are you having a hard time ending something you should have ended long ago? Try these five things and you will finally succeed!

I read recently an amazing thought about President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation of 1863:  It was signed into law over two years before those in slavery actually had their freedom.

They were “legally” free but not “actually” free. Is that possibly happening to you?

It’s obvious I have a big family:  six children and my nineteenth grandchild soon to be born.  Now, we are watching our children change the world. These principles helped us to do that.

“Bushwacker” is the name of one of the fiercest and most dangerous bulls of all time. 

One top rider was thrown by Bushwacker and landed broken in the hospital.  His next time on Bushwacker, he defeated him…for the first time in history!

His secret?  “The first time I rode him, he owned me.  This time, I owned him before I went out there.  He was afraid of me, not me afraid of him.”

Everybody is buying stuff that is too hard to protect. Life becomes complex. How can we simplify our possessions so that they have less of a hold upon us?

The world is crazy about self-promotion. God’s mighty power, however, is revealed through humility.

If you are battling with anxiety, here are three truths that will make it DISAPPEAR!
