God gave the family as the foundation of society defining Family as the first form of society in human history. This means the family is the oldest institution established by God. It is older than the church.

In this season we are seeing how God weaponizes our gratitude. Humbling ourselves to learn to be thankful breaks bad attitudes off of our lives. It’s not joy that makes us thankful. It is gratitude that makes us joyful. Two of the most powerful words known to mankind are “THANK YOU!”

We could all use a little more faith in life. Gratitude and faith have a significant relationship. This impacts what is going on inside a person’s heart and when the inner man is strong then the outer man follows suit.

We have to be very careful not to give our kids everything except that which made us capable of giving them something. The strength of your life comes from the struggles you face.

The Bible says the truth of Melchizedek is for those who are ready to move from milk to solid food.

I gave Tracy groceries and she gave me an amazing meal. As I pondered this I realized this is very much the way it is with God. What do you think would happen to your dreams if you actually gave them to God?

There is temporal life and there is eternal life. The perspective and priorities that are born from focusing on that which is temporal is very different from the perspective and priorities that are born from focusing on that which is eternal.

Rather than deciding a New Year's RESOLUTION consider praying to discover a New Year's REVELATION. God has a plan for you in the coming year! Discover it! Devote yourself to it. Rehearse it. Remind yourself of it.

You can have access to food and still be malnourished. It sounds odd but proof came when I watched a documentary a guy made who only ate McDonalds food every day for 30 days. He gained 24 pounds and his liver started to shut down. His doctor told him he would die if he were to continue. 

God takes just a man and makes him a just man but he is still just a man. Authenticity and transparency are critical parts of what God desires from us in our pursuit of Truth.

In this season we are focusing on what have been the five most transformational ideas God has entrusted to our care. The first idea deals with understanding the power of transformational rhythm that is actually born from the heart of God and is already deposited within our existence. 

The eternal perspective of God changes what you see, what you say and how you live where you live.
