The Magnet

When the chips are down and life turns around on them, people reach out. They reach out seeking a solution and when they can't find one, they are ready to reach out to God. We are all born into this world with a compass that points to Him. But the pull of evil is so strong in the world that we forget it is there. Go out into the world, into the marketplace, let His love shine out. Be that magnet that causes their compass to point to God. ~ DickEvans.org

Infiltrate

I believe we are called to infiltrate the dark places of this world; we are on a covert mission to seek out those that God is ready touch. We are to let His light shine through us, not blink Jesus on a well intentioned baseball cap. We are to be sheep among wolves. We are to walk with discernment through the enemy's camp always listening for the Father's voice. ~ DickEvans.org

Divide

Being a Christian divides us from others in the world. It can also divide us from family and friends. We cannot have one foot in our old ways, our old life, and the other foot with Him. It is one way or the other. It is both feet first. We have to be willing to give up the past to reach our future in Him. How hard this is for many. The sword cuts deep sometimes even within our own family. God must come first in all that we do. ~ DickEvans.org

Born Again

When we took that step of faith and reached out for Jesus’ hand and believed, we were saved. At that instant in time we became born again. Our sins, past, present, and future, were washed away and we started our new life in Christ with a clean slate. At that moment we were given the opportunity to begin our salvation journey. Even though we all continue to fall short, He continues to give us His grace and unconditional love. As we realize our mistakes and thank Him for His forgiveness, He continues to show us His unconditional love. ~ DickEvans.org

Stand Firm

As shaky as our legs might be, God will enable us to stand firm when His words are pouring forth from our obedient month. That is the key, being obedient to the Holy Spirit. When that happens, we touch those we are destined to touch. It has little to do with the amount of information we received in our education and has everything to do with revelation that leads us into our transformation. ~ DickEvans.org

A New Person

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and savior, we become a new person. But it is so hard to give up that old life and those old friends and the things we did together. Unlike switching jobs, we are changing from the inside out while we remain at the same job with the same people. We are not transported to a new place. No, we have to become a new person while remaining at the same place here on earth. Let's make today the day that His light shines brightly through us in our actions and words. ~ DickEvans.org

Relationship

You really can’t know someone by reading about them. You can only discover the combined opinions of man. To know someone, you have to have a relationship with them. To know Jesus you have to have a relationship with Him. Relationship is not a one time event; it is a lifelong commitment. ~ DickEvans.org
