You Are a Cause For Change! by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: August 16, 2011 at 2:35 pm By editorconvergingzone
“You can choose to be the cause or fall victim to the whims of effect. Life happens around us through choices not always our own. We must be responsible for our thoughts and perceptions of what happens to us or others. If you look at effects in life through a victim mindset, you have given away your power and cause responsibility. Through the empowered mind of faith, you become the powerful cause for change.” 1. How much effect is your... Read more

Discovering Your Art in Work by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: August 15, 2011 at 4:55 pm By editorconvergingzone
” Work that you do not like may feed you, but will never nourish your soul and fulfill you. Your work is your art as you bring your unique creativity to it. Discover your life’s work while knowing that the real power is not in the work itself, but in the joy, passion, and expression that you bring forth through your work. Working for money alone will twist your identity, working in your passion, gift, and purpose shapes your destiny.”... Read more

No In-betweens Needed by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: August 14, 2011 at 10:31 am By Robert Ricciardelli
“God’s provision for humanity is revealing greater truth while exposing what is false. He desires for every son and daughter to know that they have direct access to Him through Christ alone. Therefore every child of God can always come boldly before Him with no human in between. True spiritual fathers teach this freedom with love and encouragement while desiring to see those they serve soar to greater heights than themselves.” Do you live in the freedom of knowing you...

Be Anxious For Nothing by Francis Frangipane
Last updated on: August 14, 2011 at 1:02 am By editorconvergingzone
Jesus warned that, in the last days, the world would face unfolding trauma. There would be wars, earthquakes and many other disasters. Yet, to His disciples, He said, “Do not be terrified” (Luke 21:9). He also said that, because of world conditions, men’s hearts would fail “from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth”(Luke 21:26 NKJV). Not only would actual events generate worldwide fear, but the expectation of difficulties would cause men’s hearts to... Read more

I Care Very Little For Christian Profession by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: August 13, 2011 at 4:51 pm By Robert Ricciardelli
“I do not care about how Christian you say you are or that you have fish symbols on your car and windows. I do not care that you carry a bible everywhere you go. If the first thing you say in business is, “trust me I am a Christian,” I won’t. If I see you as patient, kind, and loving, I take notice. Extravagant Christ followers live in divine truth and are a beaming light for the undeniable transforming power... Read more

What Does the Word “Christian” Mean? by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: August 12, 2011 at 8:06 am By Robert Ricciardelli
“The word ‘Christian’ means different things to different people. To one person it means a stiff, judgmental, inflexible way of life that is exclusive and irrelevant to society. To another it is following after Christ, a freedom life that is inclusive, relevant, and able to transformationally love all people. The term ‘Christian’ may not be properly redeemed, but we can live in the power of a redeemed life that changes the world.” What does the word Christian mean to you?... Read more

What the Debt Crisis Means for the American Church by Loren Sandford
Last updated on: August 11, 2011 at 10:31 am By editorconvergingzone
By the time many of you receive this, Congress may have found a solution to the current debt-ceiling crisis. The immediate danger may be averted—temporarily. The real issue, however, isn’t the budget, the debt ceiling or anything else, as much as it is a philosophical battle over the direction of the country. This is the root of the intransigence and increasing bitterness exhibited by both parties. People defend philosophies more vehemently than they do money. It’s like defending one’s religion...

The Power of Authenticity by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: August 10, 2011 at 11:59 am By Robert Ricciardelli
The power of being an influencer for good is not in what you do or say, but in the power of who you are. Beyond even that, it is the power of the One within you that is the change-maker. There are techniques and scripts people adopt to impact lives that prove to be transformationally impotent. Transformational power through your life will only come through authenticity that flows through the power of God’s love.” Authenticity of who you are creates... Read more

The Great Imitation by Ray C. Stedman
Last updated on: August 9, 2011 at 5:42 pm By editorconvergingzone
From The Series: Authentic Christianity www.raystedman.org Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 2:14-6:13 His classmates called him “the Dumb Ox” because of he was heavyset, serious, and usually silent. Historians, however, call him “the Angelic Doctor,” and Roman Catholics revere him as a saint. His name: Thomas Aquinas–the most influential theologian of the thirteenth century. If the young scholar’s mother could have had her way, the world would never have heard of Thomas Aquinas. She strongly opposed his wishes to study theology... Read more

Change Your Current Reality by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: August 9, 2011 at 1:32 pm By Robert Ricciardelli
Prayer matters and talking to God has a miraculous way of changing things in your now and in your future. The most effective change through your conversations with God is in how He changes you. As you become one with God, and His intentions, you become His “Linchpin” or empowered “catalyst” for change all around you. You are changed and so now you can change current realities. What are you changing today through your life? “ Are you aware that... Read more
