The Snare of Self Righteousness by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: November 6, 2011 at 6:42 pm By editorconvergingzone

Self righteousness causes people to boast of minor successes that make them look spiritually superior. They may also get very adamant about moral issues which usually ask nothing of themselves, only of others, and how they need to change or conform. They tend to practice rituals that ask very little of themselves in terms of real commitment or change (like attending a Church meeting). This is what has to fall apart because it isn’t true faith yet, and it will... Read more

Sign on church – KEEP OUT! by John Redenbo

Last updated on: November 6, 2011 at 4:26 pm By editorconvergingzone

So it’s Sunday morning, and I had that same old familiar struggle. Do I go to church or not? I’m frustrated by what we call “church”! Assembling a group of people in some adorned building at a particular time every week and singing a couple of songs and hearing a speech IS NOT CHURCH! Herein lies the rub. We call it church, and I have to fight not to feel guilty that I’m not there, but it’s not the church.... Read more

Miners of the Divine by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: November 5, 2011 at 12:00 pm By editorconvergingzone

All have been created in the image of God and there is an amazing treasure in each one. We can consider ourselves treasure hunters or heaven sent miners of the divine. Through the power of God’s love we can begin to chip away at the hard places in people’s lives that will uncover dormant and priceless treasures within. As the concealed treasure of God’s love begins to shift toward His revealed glory, the seed for transformational presence begins to emerge.... Read more

The Unstoppable and Brilliant You by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: November 1, 2011 at 12:40 pm By editorconvergingzone

God’s gifts to you can never be withdrawn and you are filled with amazing potential. The All-Potent God has deposited seeds of greatness within you. You have something to offer the world that no one else has, and the ability to create great works. Adversity cannot stop you unless you quit. You are not a quitter, you are an overcomer, and no challenge is too big for your God. It’s time to press forward in strength, wisdom, and clarity, and... Read more

The Difference Maker is God by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: October 31, 2011 at 5:42 pm By editorconvergingzone

When you are weak, divine strength can come forth. No matter what weakness or inadequacies you think you have or setbacks you’ve encountered, God gives us His divine strength to overcome. He is the difference maker and God within you soars you to new heights in life you never thought were possible. God takes what you have to give and then makes up the difference exponentially. He multiplies your influence, your strength, and your resources. You no longer need to... Read more

Hijacked Visions and Dreams by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: October 30, 2011 at 11:35 am By editorconvergingzone

The only thing worse than drifting through life without a vision is to have your dreams and visions hijacked by someone else. It is one thing to share common vision and it is another thing to forfeit your own vision because of the agendas or mandates of others. Our hopes and dreams and can easily get lost in the complexity of this life. We must discover or recall what we believe God has called us to be and to do.... Read more

Have Faith For Your Unseen Destiny by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: October 29, 2011 at 1:41 pm By editorconvergingzone

We sometimes see faith as our ability to believe in an unseen God, but we must also have faith for our unseen destiny with God. He has coexistent plans for good in our lives and for good to come through our lives. Our destiny is not preordained as it would make our lives and our choices irrelevant in God’s divine plan for us. Destiny is ordained through oneness with God and through every moment of our NOW existence in Him.... Read more

God’s Mighty Love Blazes On by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: October 28, 2011 at 3:47 pm By editorconvergingzone

Tides of war sweep the world, hostile forces are at large in every nation, and yet in the revelation of God’s eternal purposes, we will not be shaken. Through it all, the glory of God’s mighty love blazes on. Let this love possess us, melt away our concerns, and move us powerfully for every good work. God continues to incarnate His redemptive purposes in human lives. He still calls, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” The... Read more

Entrust Yourself to One God and One Kingdom by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: October 27, 2011 at 11:29 am By editorconvergingzone

Our citizenship is in the Kingdom of God. Jesus showed no undue loyalty to his Jewish religion nor to his Roman-occupied Jewish country. He radically challenged them both and exposed their corruption while warning against the idolatrous relationships that most people have with their country and their religion. Idolized loyalty to anything but the Kingdom of God justify violence and abuse in almost every form and ignore much of the central teachings of Christ. Seek first and seek always the... Read more

Pursue the Greatest Thing by Robert Ricciardelli

Last updated on: October 26, 2011 at 3:12 pm By editorconvergingzone

Success is not something that you pursue, it is something you attract. Success is therefore not a goal in life but a byproduct of an abundant life. It is because of who you are in God that the law of attraction and favor come forth. It is divine favor that rests upon you all the days of your life. “You are in Him, He is in you,” living in powerful fusion with the substance of heaven. We seek His Kingdom,... Read more
