Happiness Point #124: Things That Pop in Your Head Aren’t Always from God

       Fear can be a driving force. We can be afraid of all sorts of things. Fear can be present that we aren’t pleasing God, that we aren’t doing what we are supposed to be doing, that we aren’t living up to where we really should be in life. And fear can be powerful. Through fear, we can develop incorrect beliefs whereby we make decisions

Happiness Point #117: Do What You Really Want to Do

       I believe one of the key, core fundamental things to our lives is simply to do what we really want to do, to do what makes you happy as it is often said. We hear the phrase a lot, “Do what makes you happy,” and actually it is experientially true. The best times in my life have been when I am aligned with what ‘fits’ me,

Happiness Point #110: Tomorrow You’ll Feel Like It

       
I think we’ve all had the feeling say, on the afternoon before we are to return to work, that feeling where we think, “I really don’t want to go back to work tomorrow.” Yes, even though we still have much of our day off left, we are already looking into tomorrow. This is problematic for a couple of reasons. First, Jesus told us we aren’t CONTINUE READING SERMON...

Happiness Point #103: Create a Looking Forward to Heaven List

       We all know we are going to Heaven someday. I mean, for us it is an intellectual fact. But, what is it actually going to be like? Can we get a picture of it? I think for many of us, our images of Heaven in our minds seem vague. They seem like we really don’t know for sure what to expect. It’s like all we see are white clouds, and perhaps

Happiness Point #97: Attack Reoccurring Thoughts

       It’s just a matter of life that as we live our lives, there are going to be thoughts that tend to reoccur in our minds. Usually, these thoughts are related to some negative event that we have been part of. These can range from all kinds of things. It could be someone rejected us, someone said something against us, we got in a car accident,

Happiness Point #90: Have Specific Prayer Days

       There’s no doubt that we all have a lot to pray for. People present us with prayers, when we are at church or Bible study. People tell us about things they need prayer for, whether we are talking with them on the phone or meeting them for coffee. And then there are the prayers that we ourselves need, which can be

Happiness Point #83: Enjoy the Journey

       I think paying particular attention to the traffic when you are out and about is a good indicator. I mean that watching the traffic closely shows you that people are always in a hurry to go from one place to the next, from point A to point B. And, in stopping to consider that, it becomes obvious that it’s such a waste of time.

Happiness Point #76: You Can Do Fun Things for Free

       One great thing about having fun is that it often times can be free. In other words, the belief that one needs to spend money, or spend a lot of money to have fun simply isn’t true. Sure, spending money to go to theme parks, the theatre, out to dinner, whatever, yeah, those things can and are a lot of fun.

Happiness Point #69: Blessings in Disguise

       
There have been several times in my life where I didn’t get what I wanted. I remember, back when it happened, I thought, “Man, I’ve really lost out on something truly great. I’ll probably never have an opportunity like this again.” That’s what our minds often do. They convince us that whatever didn’t work out, CONTINUE READING SERMON...

       When I first started preaching, some seven years ago now, I didn’t have a firm grasp on this happiness point. I thought that whatever I said, people would just naturally get it. I thought that I wouldn’t have to explain or elaborate on anything. The thing is, people have different perspectives in how they approach

       We all face problems on a daily basis. Some problems small. Some problems big. They could be going on inside our heads, or they could be manifesting themselves in our world around us. What we need to understand, and this is fundamental for any level of happiness to be obtained, is that, in essence, there is a root to every problem.

Happiness Point #50: People are Responsible for their Characters

       It is the oldest game in the book—blaming someone else or something else when something goes wrong. Remember? That’s what Adam did the first time he sinned. He blamed Eve. He didn’t take responsibility. Recently, I watching a pastor prepare to give a sermon on at highly esteemed church in the evangelical world.

       It is definitely true that some individuals out there will find themselves caught between two varying worlds—worlds that are different, each with their own promises.
Yes, indeed. That’s where many in fact can find themselves in, especially if you were raised in a stricter church setting. We know, if we are a student of the Scripture, CONTINUE READING SERMON...

       It is a common belief that arriving at the top, being the best in the game at something, is really the best place one can arrive. Sounds good. We hear it a lot. But the truth of the matter is that being at the top isn’t always the best. There are several reasons as why this is the case. We certainly don’t want to be at the bottom.

Happiness Point #22: God Isn’t Limited on Resources

       For many, many years of my Christian life, I believed something bad that I didn’t even realize I believed. That was, I believed that God was limited on his resources. There was the prevailing belief in the background that God only had so much good, and once it was taken up, you would either have to take the leftovers,

       We’ve all heard the old saying, “Idleness is the devil’s workshop.” Actually, what I have found over the years is that is true. It really is the case that the more idle we are, typically the more we find ourselves thinking about things we shouldn’t be thinking about. I think it’s more of a mind thing.

Certainly so, happiness isn’t some sinful worldly concept, reserved for those who would eat and be marry, but rather, happiness is for the Christian—for God created us to be happy in the first place.
