Quiet Time

“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.” – Psalms 1:1,2 The Bible passage above from Psalms chapter 1 sends a thought-provoking message. It’s about the blessedness of those who avoid the influence of the ungodly, showcasing the importance of choosing wise company and staying away from negative influences. The “mockers” not only hurt people, but they also don’t acknowledge their own mistakes. They mock those who have made a difference and are improving themselves. The mocker’s life has gone from walking, to standing, to sitting and has completely shrunk. But there is hope, let me explain! I recommend quiet time every morning. This was stressed to me while I was

Hope Is Possibility Thinking

“Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking.” – 2 Peter 3:1 Hope is possibility thinking! My Grandpa Schuller introduced me to this concept — to consider what is possible in your youth or in your old age. Considering everything you have, what does the future hold for you? How would my Grandpa Schuller answer that question? It’s very simple: If you can believe it, you’ll be able to achieve it. The opposite is also true: If you can’t believe it, then you will never be able to accomplish it. This is why we need to focus on our personal development daily. If this sounds too difficult for you, then just take baby steps. It’s a wonderful experience. Personal development can take some time, but it’s worth it. Our church campus is in Orange

A Great Vision

“Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.” – Luke 2:25,26 One of my favorite stories of hope during the Advent season and Christmas is the story of Simeon. The Holy Spirit told Simeon in Luke 2 that he would see the Messiah in his lifetime. We don’t always know all the details, but as I think of Simeon’s story, I imagine him as a young man who received this big vision! When you see a big vision in your life, you will see it twice. The first time, it is only in your imagination. But the second time you see it is when it is fulfilled

Make an Impact in Life

“Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” – Psalms 25:4,5 In life, there is one thing that always rings true: We all want to make a difference and impact on the world! Don’t sleepwalk through your life, my friend; don’t let it pass you by. Sleepwalking is when someone walks or performs other motor activities while asleep. When I was a kid, I sleepwalked at my friend Abe’s house. I ran out into the living room after we’d already gone to sleep, and I yelled, “The crows are coming!” and ran back to bed. The next morning, his parents asked me what I meant by “The crows are coming!” My answer was, “I have no idea!” Many of us are sleepwalking through life. We’re just

Consider God’s Timing

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” – Ecclesiastes 3:11 Yesterday, we encouraged you to have hope! No matter your age, you can still become all you were meant to be! Once you’ve reached your Golden Years and beyond, all the days of your life have culminated into this one moment to be who you are today — the most experienced and most knowledgeable version of yourself! What a great day to make a difference in your life, and in the world! God likes to use senior men and women, like Abraham and Sarah, who became parents at 100 and 90, respectively. God promised Abraham at 75 that he would have a son and become the father of many nations. So you would think, if you make

Hope Is a Vision

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11 Having hope in God means that you have a vision of what your life can be like based on the words of God. There is no doubt that hope is a vision! You see it in your imagination, inspired by God’s Word and promises you can rely on. Without a vision for your life, it’s hard to move forward — to grow, improve, and develop. That’s what we call despair. Our hope comes from studying the scriptures and from studying people like yourself who have transformed their lives. That’s what we call fresh vision. Motivation for getting up each day comes from these types of encouragement. There are many older Christians in our community who are amazing in

Let’s Talk About Hope

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16 As we embrace this Christmas season, we are entering the first week of Advent, which carries the theme of hope! Let’s talk about hope. When used in a Biblical context, hope is a wonderful word. Hope can also be used in another context that is less productive. For instance, some people say, “I hope my life gets better,” or “I hope my relationships improve.” All of us carry this type of hope in our hearts … but it’s the kind of hope that says, I am not going to get involved, respond, or make any changes, rather, I will simply sit back and hope. This is not the kind of hope we find in the Bible. Elpis is the Greek word

God Qualifies the Called

“Moses said to the Lord, ‘Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.’ ” – Exodus 4:10 Since Moses had established a nice comfortable routine in Midian, the last thing he wanted to do was leave what was familiar. But why? I believe the answer to this question can be summed up in a single word: inadequacy. Since he was living as a fugitive and likely still wrought with guilt over the man he killed before he fled, Moses did not feel equipped or worthy to carry out the Lord’s call. This is why he offered excuses. First, he drew upon his unworthiness by trying to convince God that the people would not believe that his purpose was divinely appointed. In response to this, Yahweh performed a series of miracles

The Pinnacle of Your Purpose

“And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” – Exodus 3:9,10 Once we embrace the desert seasons of our lives, we can become almost too comfortable and wind up afraid to leave. Such was the case with Moses. So far was he removed from where he had come that he never imagined going back to his roots in Egypt or living among his people again; that is until God spoke to Him in a burning bush. Once he realized something peculiar was happening as he watched a shrub that was not being consumed, the Lord had Moses’ attention. Yahweh told him that He had seen the Israelites suffering and was intending to lead them away from Egypt, and the

Watch the Burning Bush

“Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, ‘I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.’ ” – Exodus 3:1-3 Years after starting his family and working as a shepherd for his father-in-law, Moses decided to ascend Mt. Horeb. As he was walking up the mountain, he noticed a burning bush. Seeing a burning bush in this environment was really no big deal since it was the desert and plants probably caught fire frequently. What is interesting, however, is that Moses got near
