Creativity can solve almost any problem

The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything. -- George Lois

Ask, Seek, Knock

Matthew 7:7-12

Ask, Seek, Knock

7"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

9"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

When you're hard on other people, where is the Love???

Matthew 7:1-2

Judging Others

1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Where is the compassion? Treat people the way you want to be treated. Just respond with Grace. That's what God did for you.

Don't have a righteous attitude. Don't just be a "good" person. Be humble.


Luke 6:37-38

Judging Others

37"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

God is NOT angry with you! God is Gracious. Just Love one another.

God is NOT angry with you. Quit trying to measure up! Just accept Christ.

Your good works doesn't put you in a favorable position with God. You will be with God through FAITH.

God loves you right where you are. Lighten up on yourself and lighten up on others. Love your neighbors. Love yourself.

You don't have to impress God. The Holy Spirit meets people where they are. God loves your right where you are.

You can't fix yourself and you can't fix others. Only the Spirit of God can change people. Let the Holy Spirit do the work.

God has already done the hard work for you. He has already sent His son Jesus to die for our sins. All you have to do is Taste & See that the Lord is Good.

God is GRACIOUS. Just LOVE one another.

Discerning the difference between your own understanding and God's wisdom

17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.

James 3: 17

Believe without doubt and Persevere

James 1:2 -8

Trials and Temptations

2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
