87. How Can I Maximize My Talents?
You know that parable of the talents? To paraphrase, a master gave one servant $5,000, another $2,000 and another $1,000 to invest while he went away. The first two guys doubled the money and the last one didn’t do nothing and just handed back the money back and got sent to New Jersey. But to [...]
February 6th, 201352. What are the Three Enemies of the Believer that Cause us to Misunderstand God’s Will? (Part 3)
How many times have you seen a kid give as his defense, “Well Billy did it too!” Or, when I say, “Well you’re the one who didn’t flush last time.” There’s three enemies that cause us to misunderstand God’s Will. The first was our own feelings, the second is Satan. And the third completes the [...]
June 21st, 201251. What are the Three Enemies of the Believer that Cause us to Misunderstand God’s Will? (Part 2)
Last time I talked about our own feelings getting in the way of hearing God. But that’s not all. And I’m not talking about Taco Supremes. While it might distract us, it doesn’t really lead us down the wrong path. Well, actually, it probably does. So the trap that lots of us Christians fall into [...]
June 19th, 201250. What are the Three Enemies of the Believer that Cause us to Misunderstand God’s Will? (Part 1)
I’ve heard over and over from Christians, “I’m praying for God to show me His will.” Uh. And? And what else are you doing? “Well, I’ve been praying really hard for a long time.” And? “And what? Isn’t that it?” It is if you like being confused all the time. Now you’re telling yourself, “Conrad [...]
June 14th, 20129. God’s Will (Part VIII): ‘Common Callings’, or ‘A Bacon Buffet’
Again we go deeper into discerning God’s Will. It’s like going to a buffet with bacon. You take a few pieces and they keep on bringing more out. There’s just more and more to appreciate. To recap, when figuring out God’s Specific Will for you, you need to understand how to figure out your callings. [...]
February 17th, 20128. How Do I Discern God’s Will? Part VII: “How Can I Be a Great Taco?”
The last time I went over how to figure out your callings, I realized that one of my callings was to eat a pound of cheese, which I did as unto the Lord. The thing about callings is that you have to realize that you have more than one calling at a time. For example [...]
February 10th, 20127. God’s Will (Part VI): What About Me?
We talked about God’s Will in general. Now we need to get more specific… We need to talk about the individual. Now I know you all want to hear more about me, but being as humble as I am, we’ll talk about you. A bit. Then we can get back to me. There are two [...]
February 8th, 20126. How Do I Discern God’s Will? Part V: Open Doors?
So you got the Bible and you know it says a bunch of stuff, but how do you know when to apply it? Just cause the Bible says to evangelize, doesn’t mean we’re supposed to do evangelize all the time, non-stop, with no sleep. How can you evangelize in your sleep? Unless you’re me. One [...]
February 2nd, 20125. How Do I Discern God’s Will? Part IV: Where Do I Get Help?
Now we’re digging a little deeper into God’s Will. Assuming you read the previous devotion about humility – I will assume you are now as humble as I am. We’ll probably not quite as humble as I am, because I am the humblest person ever. So to pick up where we left off, remember … [...]
January 31st, 20124. How to Discern God’s Will Part III: Where Should We Start?
We’ve been talking about how to discern God’s Will and how it’s based in God’s Word. But that doesn’t mean we have it all down. There’s so much to it. There’s only a couple people who have it all down. So unless your name is Oprah or Dumbledore you should probably read this. To recap… [...]
