Shame is Replaced by True Identity by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: February 2, 2012 at 11:44 am By editorconvergingzone

Many people are living with not only a lot of anxiety, but also with a lot of shame. Their experiences in life have left them feeling inadequate, ignorant, and unworthy. Guilt comes about by things we have done or not done, but our shame is a conscious feeling of emptiness in our very being, and often becomes a lingering wound. Shame is not resolved by changing behavior as much as by changing our very self-image and worth. Christ covers our... Read more

God Desires Your Heart More Than Your Talents by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: February 1, 2012 at 9:58 am By editorconvergingzone

God is not looking for brilliant people, is not dependent upon charismatic orators, and will not cease in bringing His glory upon the earth regardless of the talents of those sharing His “Good News” message. God is looking for those who are broken and humble enough to see themselves through the light of Christ while willing to align their lives with Him. When God wants His will accomplished, He finds those who have come to the end of themselves and... Read more

We Do Not Need to Change For God’s Love by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: January 31, 2012 at 7:39 am By editorconvergingzone

Most of us were taught that God would love us if and when we change. The truth is, God loves us, so now we can change. It is experiencing the love and grace of God that empowers change, as it is His transformational gift for humanity. We have received the wrong message of having to be good and moral for God to love us. This is a lie that needs to die, never to return. When you fall into God’s... Read more

Performing Through Our Rest in God by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: January 30, 2012 at 4:09 pm By editorconvergingzone

God wants us to surrender our lives and enter a place of rest in Him. A place where the need to perform or achieve becomes unnecessary. Where we can stop all the overproduction and trying to prove ourselves because our value is not based on performance. We live in a culture of unrest and belief systems that say we cannot be loved or valued without performing admirably. We must not achieve for love, because the cycle never ends and we... Read more

Last updated on: January 28, 2012 at 4:57 pm By editorconvergingzone

There is a desire within each of us to search for the life we were created to live. It seems hidden from us for most of our lives, and at times we may even abandon the search only to pursue our hearts desire once more. Our true identity, our reason for being, is to be found in this desire. God orchestrates all things in life to bring you to destiny filled revelational moments. They may not be eventful, as they...

Surrender of the Vision Keeper by Francis Frangipane

Last updated on: January 28, 2012 at 2:03 pm By editorconvergingzone

(En Español) To walk with God is to walk a path of increasing surrender and trust. Indeed, the time is at hand when the Lord Jesus shall confront our tendencies to control Him. Not only will we know doctrinally that Christ is Lord, but we will also serve Him as Lord. If you find yourself more drawn toward prayer than promotion, more toward humility than hype, you are being prepared by the Lord for the glory of God. What He... Read more

Conversational Leadership in Today’s World by John Chasteen

Last updated on: January 28, 2012 at 12:40 pm By editorconvergingzone

All leaders have to develop their communication skills to be effective leaders Does it seem like this generation is becoming relationally dysfunctional, or is it just my thinking? Not long ago in a private discussion with another professor at the university I was introduced to an alarming trend that seems to be affecting the younger generation. My finding was that sociologists are beginning to discover that the upcoming generation is severely lacking in what you and I would call common relational skills. Research... Read more

Growing From Seed to Maturity by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: January 27, 2012 at 1:49 pm By editorconvergingzone

There is but one thing to do in life for all of us, and that is to grow. All of creation is about growth from seed to maturity. Without continual growth, especially spiritually, success has no meaning. We must internalize and personalize the absolute truth we have learned. Great revelation and awareness of how to truly live come to those who remain constant learners through every experience in their life. By growing and living in the authenticity of the truth...
