Doing the right thing may take longer, but will stand stronger.
The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us! (Author

sin (sin) n 1. The Promise of Pleasure, but the Path to Pain. 2. The offer of a
Cheap Thrill, but at the cost of a Cold Chill. 3. A Promise to Fulfill, but an Aim to
Kill.
Sin informs you of a SHORTCUT, but fails to tell you the bridge is out up ahead.
Sin immediately tickles, But ultimately shackles.
Sin humors for a season, But then hurts beyond reason.
Sin SUGGESTS freedom, but DEMANDS bondage!
Sin may pay you something, but it will cost you everything!
Sin dangles a Sure Prize But O the Rude Surprise.
A Balanced Life is the proper proportions of three ingredients: PRAY, PAY &
PLAY! First, PRAY is your spiritual life... your Bible reading, your church
attendance, your ministries, your witnessing, your tithing, and your prayer life.
PAY is your vocational or professional career... your job, your budget, your skills
and talents. PLAY is your fun times spent with your family, your marriage, your
recreation, your sleep, and your rest time. PRAY, PAY & PLAY! Do any one of
these priorities to the exclusion of the others, and off balance... you will fall. But
invite the Holy Spirit to continuously adjust you between these three life priorities,
and balanced... you will rise and succeed in life!
It's actually easier to believe God despite the price to my flesh and the warfare

that is involved, than it is to pay the costly consequences of doubt, fear and
unbelief.
I DECIDE what I GIVE IN TO! I can just as easily decide to GIVE IN TO the Holy
Spirit as I can to GIVE IN TO my flesh. I CHOOSE. I make up my mind. Its not
God's choice; it's mine! I DECIDE. I SELECT. I CHOOSE. This is my right, as I
am a free moral agent made in the image of God with freedom to choose. My
flesh doesn't rule me. My emotions are not in charge here. Jesus is Lord of my
life! My feelings are not dependable. I like it when I feel good without any effort,
but sometimes I have to REFUSE to feel bad and CHOOSE to feel good. I don't
have to succumb to every impulse or thought that crosses my mind. I CHOOSE
FOR MYSELF! I decide who I am loyal to. I choose whom I love. I select which
thoughts I wish to entertain. I decide what my values will be. I choose how I will
feel this moment. I select my attitude today. I change my attitude and conform it
to the Word of God. I select how I will respond to this situation. In Jesus Name!
Over time, the believer must train himself to YIELD to the Spirit of God and the
Word of God, instead of yielding to his carnal desires and fickle emotions. This is
accomplished by repetitively CHOOSING & REFUSING in prayer. After the
passing of time, the believer's inner man slowly gains the mastery over his flesh,
and it becomes easier and easier to obey God!
I cannot survive on Yesterday's Voice of God to my heart. No, I must have a
Fresh Word TODAY! I must experience Him afresh today. I need Him to embrace
me again and again and proportionate to what I will be facing TODAY! Today I
must see His face, feel His embrace, revel in His grace, and establish His pace
for today's race!
Treat your wife like a Queen and sooner or later she shall treat you like a King!
Concentrate on making your wife happy. In so losing yourself you shall discover
your own happiness.
To make your marriage stronger and enduring, one must mature in their
expectations over time, from merely wanting a THRILLING relationship, to
wanting a FULFILLING relationship. If your measure of marriage happiness
continues to be, "How much does this person THRILL me?" you are still
immature and may be headed for a painful adulterous relationship and a nasty
divorce. However, if your measure of marital happiness is, "How can I make this
relationship more rich and fulfilling for my mate?" then you yourself are maturing

as a person and you will, no doubt, experience a long and satisfying life together
with your spouse.
Fear is the voice of the devil lying to you. Faith is the voice of God telling you the
truth.
Question: How will you accomplish that noble dream or project God has placed
in your heart? Luke 1:35!!!!! And the angel answered and said... The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:
therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son
of God.
Just Try It... and fail! Just Do It... and succeed! Test the waters... and you'll quit!
Dive on in... and you'll swim!
Talent is commonplace. But Commitment is rare.
Giftings are abundant. But Character is harder to find.
Skills are everywhere. But where is Faithfulness?
POWER is the ability to keep on doing the right thing for a long time!
The Bible teaches us to "meditate" on God's Word, "memorize" God's Word,
"study" God's Word, "read" God's Word, and to "listen" to God's Word as it is
preached and taught to us. The word meditate means "to mutter back to oneself,
to frame-in, to paraphrase in ones own vernacular, and to imagine." When we
meditate God's Word our retention level is over 90%. When we memorize God's
Word our level of retention is about 75%. When we study God's Word our
retention level is around 60%. When we read God's Word our retention level is
about 40%. When we listen to God's Word from someone else our level of
retention is around 25%.
Seven Giftings spoken of in Romans chapter 12: Prophesiers, Helpers, Teachers,
Preachers, Paymasters, Superintendents, and Mercy-naries. Would to God
each of us stop trying to be someone we're not, and settle down into our
true ministries. Prophesiers will be held accountable for their obedience to

spontaneously utter the Spirit's voice when the saints are assembled. Helpers will
be held accountable at the judgement seat of God as to their diligence to relieve
spiritual leaders of time consuming details. Teachers must answer to God for
whether they share their Bible knowledge with others on a consistent basis.
Preachers will answer to God for their faithfulness to inspire and herald the
message of salvation. Paymasters will have to give an account to God whether
they generously funneled their wealth to the work of God and to the men of God
and places God leads them. Superintendents or Organizers will answer for their
faithfulness to lead, and to coordinate the efforts of others to accomplish the work
of God. Mercy-naries will have to account for their faithfulness to relieve the poor,
the sick, and the downtrodden from suffering.
If you're having difficulty being FRUITFUL, at least remain FAITHFUL.
If your life is not presently SENSATIONAL, at least let it be SIGNIFICANT.
If it seems you can do nothing GREAT, at least continue doing GOOD.
Life is a Set of Loyalties.
Faithfulness is the key that sooner or later unlocks even the most fortified
door. Proverbs 28:20 "A faithful man shall abound with blessings..."
If you can rest your entire ETERNITY on nothing but His Word, surely you can
rest your daily PROSPERITY on God's Word as well.
The Anointing is that Special Something from the Spirit of God that exhilarates
the speaker, captivates the listeners, and charges the atmosphere with
expectancy. It is a mere man being supersaturated and superempowered to
speak and act for God. And it is mere men supernaturally hearing God's voice
and receiving tangible changes from heaven.

You can't make it without a local church body! Hebrews 10:25 NIV - "Let us not
give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us
encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
Sooner or later the wolf always catches a lone sheep. Christian TV can only
SUPPLEMENT the local church, never SUBSTITUTE for it. Christian books can
be life changing indeed. But Christian books alone are not enough. God cannot
IMPART and DEPOSIT certain things within you without your PRESENCE in THE
PRESENCE OF HIS PEOPLE that brings HIS PRESENCE in a corporate
dimension that is different than when you are by yourself. If you think you can
make it in life without a pastor and without a church home, you are self-deluded,
definitely trapped in pride, possibly a spiritual sluggard, and you need to
REPENT QUICKLY! Only Jesus had the Spirit of God, as the scriptures say,
"without measure." But you and I have the Spirit "in a measure." Yes... I know
that all of Him lives in you, but ALL of His abilities, experiences, and giftings DO
NOT live in you! Don't even tell me you are following Jesus as His true disciple if
you do not have a pastor that you can call your own and a local church you call
can call "home." "But Pastor Dan, I love Jesus, but I just don't like church!" You
can't say you love Jesus but don't care much for being around His people. That is
a lie! The Bible teaches that Jesus is the head and we are the body. You can't
love Jesus' head without loving His body. They are connected and one in the
same. If you don't like church, you've probably been wounded by someone and
have failed to forgive them aloud in prayer to God. Or either you want to persist
in your own ways, your own ideas, your own bad relationships, or in the brief
pleasures of your sins. If you've ever been hurt in church, perhaps you are using

your hurt as an excuse to disobey God. Instead of reversing your hurt, perhaps
you're nursing it. If you are bored in church, it might be because you have only
tried going to one kind of church, a kind of church that God knows cannot really
meet YOUR needs. But more often than not, if you're bored, it is an indication of
your own heart's coldness an distance from God. You are in for a rude awakening
if you don't change. You may think you can make it without the protection that the
body of Christ affords, but you are dead wrong! You pride is setting you up for a
fall! Satan is going to trip you up at some point of your life and you will wonder
why all the pain happened. But it will only be because you have not submitted
yourself to the objectivity of a godly pastor and godly friends. REPENT and find
your pastor and church NOW, TODAY, THIS WEEK! Don't set yourself up for the
fall of your life! Sooner or later the wolf always catches a lone sheep... always!
Don't become a sitting duck! Admit your need for God and His people. Humble
yourself. Acknowledge that you need to grow. Take personal responsibility for the
condition of your soul by doing what's right! Success is a collection of
relationships! Hebrews 10:25 NIV - "Let us not give up meeting together, as
some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all
the more as you see the Day approaching."
