Are you constantly hitting the windshield of life??
Newton’s Law states that a body in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Sort of like if you are driving in your car, not only is the vehicle going 60 miles per hour, but your body is too. If you hit the breaks, your body continues to go 60 miles per hour, unless a seat belt or windshield, restrains you. I think this theory also is true to our minds and behavior as well. Have you ever attempted to stop doing something, but your mind and body continue to want it, and yearn for it? Though your spirit is anew, sometimes it takes an extended effort to get our thoughts and behavior to change.
The physical response to spiritual transformation is reminiscing. Remembering the good times that sin brought to your life, not the bad times. Don’t front, you know kicking it hard, flirting with every man with a pulse, and drinking beyond responsibility was fun. You know that hanging out with your friends, talking mess about everybody and their mom was fun. People use drugs, commit adultery, lie, cheat and steal for the thrill of it. It is fun. Attempts at holiness can be lonely.
You can have a spiritual transformation. But unless you do something to curtail your thoughts and seek to really understand your weaknesses, you will end up being saved, and being miserable back involved in the same mess you used to be in. You can spiritually hit the breaks in your life, but guess what…your mind can keep going. And unless you are proactive at stopping yourself, you may end up in a bad situation.
1. Understand what you were saved from
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[a] Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
2. Be willing to forget and forgive the person you used to be
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2
3. Call on God (pray) when you know you cannot handle it
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. Psalm 55:22
4. Stay away and guard your thoughts from the things that remind you of your weaknesses
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Phillipians 4:8-9

Everybody I know hates their job and has a list full of things that they would differently if they were the boss. Everybody wants to be the boss, yet hates taking orders from others. Every book or article published about careers encourages everyone to be a leader, to be the boss of their own business, and not listen to others. There is nothing wrong with the entrepreneurial spirit. If I was raised around the principles of entrepreneurship, I would have surely been one of those 14-year-old millionaires, working on my fifth book. But I wasn’t. My parents are hard workers who will retire from their second (or so) jobs. My dad always tells me that my sister and I have had more jobs in high school that he had in his whole life! Funny but true.
It is practical and sensible that we find ways to make our money in these uncertain economic times. However, I see an influx of self-made CEOs that know nothing about the ethics of running a business and disregard the most important factor of being a good leader: being a good servant. People say that they are service-oriented, but are they really? The best bosses I have ever worked for are people who come early and stay late. Bosses who can and will do every one’s job in the office if necessary, and are not too proud to fill in when bathrooms needs to be cleaned and snow needs to be shoveled. Wearing a title like a big piece of blinged out jewelery is not the only duty of a boss. A real boss sacrifices the most, gives the most and the first to take the brunt of any bad decisions on the behalf of his employees.
Jesus was (is) the biggest boss we have ever seen. I don’t care what Rick Ross has to say. If he had a resume it would read something like this:
Jesus Christ
(Nazareth)
Chief Executive Officer, My Father’s Business
Founder & Operator, Christianity
Objective:
To eliminate eternal death and increase the quality of life to current and future operators of franchise (John 10:7-10)
Skills Profile:
Recruited and managed diverse staff (Luke 5:1-11)
Provided hands-on and field training to staff preparing them for their own businesses (Mark 13:4)
Created grassroots marketing campaign to boost consumer awareness (Matthew 5-7)
Grew business from local to worldwide, multi-generational and demographic entity (Matthew 28: 19-20)
Developed fool proof formula for repeated success (Philippians 4:12-13)
Committed to service not only to employees but clients regardless of commitment to business (John 13:1-17)
*Several references available upon request*
The enterprise that Jesus started is successful because of the principles and tools he used conduct his business. He could have been a jerk and lived off the notoriety of his father. But he instead was a humble servant of the people, making sure he followed the principles that God put him here to do. He did not back down from any challenge he was presented with and infamously took the punishment that his employees and customers deserved in order to further the mission of his business. Many of us say we want to be a CEO, but how many of us are willing to do these things listed above in order to be a success? We would sacrifice for some diamonds, a new car and some new clothes. But how would we sacrifice to serve people?
Service isn’t flossy. It is often the worst jobs in the hierarchy of employment. Nobody wants to work at a fast food joint, nobody wants to clean cars or hotel rooms. We don’t want to do it, and are in turn rude to the people who do it. Like that is what they want to do it. Even in customer service call centers, the horror stories about those experiences over the phone makes it seem like their job is worst than going to the cross!
Having owned my own business, I realized that I was not as committed to service as I thought I was. I was not willing to go beyond the call of duty to please people. I was not willing to give more that was paid for. Small business owners are passionate. But many lack the service attitude that is needed to be successful. That attitude teaches us the “Golden Rule” that Jesus has tried to beat into the heads of mankind since he was crucified: treat others the way you want to be treated. Patience, kindness and generosity are attributes that rarely taught when it comes to success in business. The key to real success is not about who can be the biggest cutthroat, shrewd and jerk boss. It’s about being a good servant. Following the example that Jesus set out for us, regardless of what career path you pursue will always lead to successful life. People say many things about what it takes to be great leaders, but actually ALL good leaders are good followers.

Every woman wants the secret to getting a good man, who pays bills, has good credit, is strong, sexy and powerful. A man who is well respected in public and a compassionate king at home. Everybody’s chiming in on what women are doing wrong. Some books say to get over it, he’s just not that into you. Some say a woman needs to follow a set of rules. According to some of these books, you can get a man to marry you in less than three years, while thinking like a man and acting like a lady! Aren’t you confused? I read some of these books, and I can just say that theories like these are not absolute. They cause you to think that there is something wrong with you that only having a husband can fix. But once some of us get husbands, then what? Getting a man through tricks, and acting a certain way is good, but how do you even go about marriage?
Well ladies, today I am going to give you the secret of all secrets on how to be the woman that every good man desires! Ready for it?
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalms 37:4
What does that mean, delighting in the Lord? It means to take pleasures and make priority the things that God wants you to do. He knows that women want and need companionship. Some of us think our lives will be perfect when we get a husband. But deep down, we know our desires are sometimes more than that. How many of us want to travel the world, help children and young adults, love to paint, sew, draw and write, yet put all our energy into dating? How many of us sit on the couch, complaining about loneliness when we have family members we haven’t seen, friends we only Facebook and a Bible that is collecting dust in the corner. Delighting in what God says and doing for others is essential to unlocking a life that is abundant and full, not stagnant and desperate.
Men can find five star chicks, bad chicks and all sorts of women. Who knows a woman who enjoys doing God’s work, and in turn, is joyful and content? Who can find a woman like that? I think the quintessential woman “who has it all” in the Bible is the infamous Proverbs 31 woman. What is it about her that inspires so many and is it even possible to be that way in the 21st century?
The Virtuous Wife
Proverbs 31:10-31
Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.
The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.
She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.
She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard.
She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.
She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.
She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.
She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.
Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
“ Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”
Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.
This woman surely does a lot. Let’s see, she has a family, works outside of the home, takes care of needy people and the women who look up to her. She makes sure that her family is dressed well, she buys them good food and not garbage, she takes care of the home finances and she doesn’t sit around gossiping about other people. She is trustworthy, while her husband is out working the land. Nobody can say she is out acting crazy while he is at work. All of those attributes make her great, but what makes her most attractive to her husband is her fear of the Lord. I didn’t make that up, it’s in the Bible!
Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
“ Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”
Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.Proverbs 31:28-31
Many women are accomplished, goal-setting, hard working, homemakers. But a woman who delights in God is showered with respect, adoration and praise. You can do all kinds of things to get a man’s attention, but a man who knows God and is looking for a virtuous woman is looking for a Proverbs 31 lady. This lady enjoys her own business, and blessing the people she loves. She enjoys the wisdom of God and fears Him. In return, people (including her husband) love her. And when it comes down to it, we are all looking for love. People are drawn the the light of God, and when we exude that we attract the love of so many. In return for being a believer who follow His direction, God gives us the things that we really want in our hearts. Isn’t that a more beautiful and simple concept? Isn’t that a more desirable outcome, instead of trying to think like Steve Harvey? Seek to think like God instead!

Wearing a cross necklace doesn't make you a good Christian either...
Since I’ve started this new, wonderful relationship with God, I have noticed that people are trying to prove to me that they know God too! It’s kind of weird, because there are people who have misquoted the Bible in front of me or been accidentally blasphemous, trying to show me that they know the Bible just like me.
People should strive to explore God personally and corporately through a church where they belong and not try to compare their experiences to someone else’s. So I’ve come up with a list of things that people should examine to make sure that they are working toward having the most quality relationship with God that they can have for them, and not for other people.
1. Not accepting Jesus Christ as your savior
If you don’t understand and accept what Jesus did for us, then you are not a Christian. Accepting that Jesus died for our sins is the first requirement to being a Christian. You may attend church, and you might believe in a “higher power” but if you don’t know or understand the sacrifice, you should do everything you can to understand that first and foremost.
2. Forwarding “Christian” emails
We all get emails from people talking about a sick kid or someone who died tragically that makes you want to cry, then tells you to forward it on to eight people if you are a “real Christian” and some “miracle” will happen. For like 10 seconds I feel bad for not forwarding those things on, then I remember that we cannot treat God like he is a chain letter or pyramid scheme. If you want to share testimonies or information about God, that is great, just don’t put stipulations on it that make people uncomfortable.
3. Knowing the Word and not doing the Word
There are so many people who can quote the Bible, yet do not apply its wisdom to their life. Even the devil knows the Bible! He uses it to confuse us! Knowing the Bible verbatim is wonderful and shows that you study, but knowing it and not doing it is a futile practice. It shows that you can memorize. A thing that people often pray is that they want to “not just be hearers, but doers of the Word.” Praying that God will help you to apply what you hear is a blessing!
4. Having a stanky attitude
God wants you to be nice and be happy. Point blank. Not, nice when people are nice to you. Not happy when all your bills are paid and people are acting right. Galatians 5:22-23 says: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Going to church, reading the Bible, but being mean to your waiter or cashier is not what God wants you to do. Waking up everyday, being sad and pitying your self is not what God wants you to do. If you are unhappy or have an “attitude problem” seeking advice from the Bible, and asking God for help is the way to change.
5. Threatening people with the Bible
When people talk about homosexuality, abortion and politics, they often beat people over the head with the Bible. They will tell people they are going to hell if they are gay. They will quote Leviticus and tell them they are dammed. I know what they Bible says about sexual immorality, but teaching people with love reaches them before beating them over the head with the Bible. It takes more energy to actually get to know a person and understand why they do what they do, and I think that’s why people choose to just write others off.
6. Not having a real relationship with God
A relationship with God is personal. It’s not going to be the same thing your mom experiences, or your best friend knows. It will touch the most important and specific parts of your life. I have a friend who took years to find her artistic niche in molding and sculpting clay. One day, she told me she was reading Genesis and noticed how God was a ceramicist too. That is a personal, meaningful relationship. You establish that by asking God to reign over your life, putting everything on the line. You allow Him to use your gifts to say what He wants to say. And you thank Him for your life, and pray to Him to help you and others. So many people fake that to their own detriment, just to sound like a Christian in front of other Christians. Jesus said, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 7:21)” I surely don’t want to be on the other side of that fence.
7. Worshiping other things than God
Imagine on Judgment Day that there is an account of all the money we’ve spent, the time we’ve spent doing everything we’ve done in our lives and what has moved us the most emotionally and intellectually. How much time, money and energy have you spent on knowing God versus knowing other things in life. Have you been more engrossed and involved in sports, music, career, TV, dating, drama, etc. than learning who God is? It is an emotional, intellectual and spiritual experience that takes a lifetime of learning. Are you dedicated to that or something else?
8. Listening to Gospel music
Gospel music may help you feel better, remind you of scriptures and can serve as an alternate form of entertainment, but do not base your relationship with God off of it. Music can help you to praise and worship God, but it should not be the only source of your Word and relationship with Him. You should be able to feel better, know scripture and worship God with and without an organ present or a Mary Mary CD. Gospel music definitely fills a gap, and helps us to praise and worship God, but it is only a tool and does not make you sanctified.
9. Being a Professional Sinner
Not wanting to change and not wanting God “all in your business” will lead to a life of professional sin. We all sin, so they doesn’t necessarily make bad. Recognizing your sin and changing your life makes you a person who really understand what God is all about.

I didn’t get saved at church. I had been attending New Covenant for a long while, so I can say my church laid the foundation for me being saved. My mom read me the Bible verses over the phone and I was saved via landlines! But you don’t have to be saved at church. When you are compelled to give your life to God and believe in Jesus, then you can confess, repent and you are saved. Maybe you are at a church and the message touches you deeply. Maybe you are at a church and you aren’t necessarily emotionally moved, but you feel being saved is the right thing to do. Regardless of your reasons, thank God you made the choice!
What happens to a lot of people is that they get saved, and don’t know what to do afterward. You might experience some great euphoria, and you might not “feel” anything. So how do you begin to acquire this abundant life that Christians talk so much about?
This is an excerpt from my Juanita Bynum Topical Bible that can help new Christians and Christians who are lost on their journey. If you follow these steps, you will begin to understand what being saved is really all about!
Now That You Are Saved
1. Receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit
2. Find a Bible believing church that is on fire and alive (read the book of Acts)
(my note: It’s okay to go to a church and not like it. Take suggestions from friends, family and associates and visit churches until you find a place that speaks to you. It may take a while, but ask God to lead you.)
3. Pray and read God’s Word everyday of your life
4. Obtain a Bible that you can understand (Living Bible, NIV Bible, or the Amplified Bible)
(my note: You are not any less Christian if you don’t dig King James!)
5. Learn and know your inheritance in Jesus Christ
6. Obey the Word of God
7. Don’t be decieved
(my note: I thought it was interesting that Bynum feels we have a duty not to be deceived! That means we must be proactive)
8. Know and use your authority in Jesus Christ over satan
9. Tell others what God has done for you

This is an excerpt I just found this in my Juanita Bynum Topical Bible about gossip and idle words:
1. Avoid speaking evil, useless and meaningless words
Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. Ephesians 5:4
Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, 21which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you. 1 Timothy 6:20-21
Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 2 Timothy 2:16
2. Evil words are destructive
Reckless words pierce like a sword,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Proverbs 12:18
3. Don’t talk too much
A man of knowledge uses words with restraint,
and a man of understanding is even-tempered.
28 Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent,
and discerning if he holds his tongue. Proverbs 17:27-28
Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. Matthew 5:37
4. A fool talks too much
A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. Proverbs 29:11
5. You will be judged by the words you speak
But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. 37For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” Matthew 12:36-37
6. Think before you speak
Do not be quick with your mouth,
do not be hasty in your heart
to utter anything before God.
God is in heaven
and you are on earth,
so let your words be few. Ecclesiastes 5:2
7. Speak positive words
Listen, for I have worthy things to say;
I open my lips to speak what is right.
7 My mouth speaks what is true,
for my lips detest wickedness.
8 All the words of my mouth are just;
none of them is crooked or perverse. Proverbs 8:6-8
Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. Proverbs 16:24
8. Speak words of wisdom and integrity
For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. Luke 21:15
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. James 3:13
9. Speak the right words at the appropriate time
A word aptly spoken
is like apples of gold in settings of silver. Proverbs 25:11
The Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue,
to know the word that sustains the weary.
He wakens me morning by morning,
wakens my ear to listen like one being taught. Isaiah 50:4
Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Colossians 4:6
10. Speak knowledgeable words
Gold there is, and rubies in abundance,
but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel. Proverbs 20:15
My words come from an upright heart;
my lips sincerely speak what I know. Job 33:3
Notice how much scripture there is about the words we speak! These are just some of the scriptures from the topical Bible. Being in control of our mouths is pretty high on God’s priority I’d say!

This comes from The Juanita Bynum Topical Bible, a good source for those who are learning the Bible and need direction and clarity on a variety on Bible topics. The book offers a questionnaire to discern between media that is good for you, and media that is not good for you. It becomes really clear on what one should do.
1. Would Jesus listen to this music, or watch this TV program or movie?
John 12:46
I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness
2. Through your TV or music, what kind of people or evil spirits are you inviting into your home?
Ephesians 5:11
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
3. Is this TV program,movie or music contrary to God’s word?
Proverbs 19:27
Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
2 Corinthians 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
4. is the TV program or music bringing you closer to God?
James 4:4
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
5. Is it causing you to compromise or sin?
1 Corinthians 10:21
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.
6. What are you putting in your heart through your eyes and ears?
Psalm 101:3
I will set nothing wicked before my eyes;
I hate the work of those who fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”
7. Are you wasting time?
Ephesians 5:16
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil
8. How do you qualify good TV programs, movies and music?
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

All relationships take hard work. You know how it is when you get a new boyfriend or girlfriend. We spend all of our free time gazing into his or her eyes, and restructure our lives to make sure our new sweetie is a part of our routine. To keep things fresh in a relationship, it takes work. If you are used to going to the movies on Fridays and that gets boring, finding new activities to learn each other and have a more intimate relationship takes a lot of effort.
God wants that kind of relationship with us. A lot of times we only call Him when we need something or are in trouble. How would you feel it if your most cherished friend only called when he messed up or needed money. Don’t you want to talk to the people you love when they are happy and excited about life too?
We are diligent when it comes to our professional lives, even our personal lives. We set our alarms for work and plan our schedules to the minute each week. We make sure we talk to our home girls each day. And don’t get me started on our TV schedules. Many of us know more about the femme fatales of Desperate Housewives than the women of honor in the Bible.
The definition of diligence is:
A zealous and careful nature in one’s actions and work; decisive work ethic; monitoring one’s activities to guard against laziness
Notice the definition says guarding against laziness. It is a proactive mindset. I think that you can be the most organized, workaholic go-getter and have a lazy, indecisive and distant relationship with God. What do you think has more value in the long run?
The Bible talks a lot about time management and hard work. Proverbs 13:4 says:
The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing; while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied
Proverbs 22:29 says:
Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men
Galatians 6:9 says:
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up
Yes, God wants you to do good work in the lives of others and prosper, but He also wants us to work at growing and having a relationship with Him. Some of us give Facebook and Twitter more of our time and attention than we do God.
So how do we are busy modern folks make time for our God? Here are some tips that I think will help us make God a priority in our lives.
1. Give Him your first and your last
Make sure when you wake up in the morning and go to bed at night that you can give God 10 or 15 minutes of just thanking Him for who He is, waking you up in the morning and keeping you and your family and friend safe overnight.
2. Bless your meals
Every time you eat take a few seconds to thank God for your food and ask Him to allow that food to nourish your body so that you do His will.
3. Plan to be thankful
Set you cell phone to go off once an hour so that you can remember to thank God for getting you through the work day, for keeping your kids and family safe, or just keeping your sanity through a stressful day. Even when your day is going bad, thank God for use of your limbs and body. Every hour find something new to be thankful for!
4. Use CDs, TVs and your computer
I know it is hard to find time to read the Bible. But because we know God wants us to work hard at our relationship with Him, we must go over and beyond to do it. Try buying the Bible on CD and listening to it while driving or at work instead of Lil Wayne. When you get home from work, instead of watching the news or 106 & Park, take one hour to watch TBN or Praise Network. I was surprised at how uplifting and enriching the programming is. Also, instead of social networking all the time, go to a site like this one, which helps you to read the Bible in one year. Set it as your homepage so that you make sure the first thing you do online is read something about God.
What ways do you build your relationship with God everyday?
