Faith is the Remedy for Fear by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: July 3, 2011 at 2:52 pm By Robert Ricciardelli
The fear of pain and heartache is far worse than the suffering itself. The remedy for fear of the future is faith in your present, faith in the God who has brought you to now, and faith that He will guide you through every tomorrow. Suffering has little hope in the heart of one who is chasing their visions and dreams. Every moment spent in your engagement with destiny, are moments spent encountering God and eternity. Read more

To Learn is to Win by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: July 2, 2011 at 5:37 pm By Robert Ricciardelli
I have won, I have lost, and I have learned. What I have won I do not take for granted, nor do I rest upon my past victories. When I have lost, I have often gained, and I never gaze long at my past defeats. What I have learned has become a treasure that can never be taken from me. There are both winning and losing experiences through life, but to have learned is to have become, a winner. Read more

Expect the Unexpected Gifts in Life by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: July 1, 2011 at 2:28 pm By Robert Ricciardelli
I learned a long time ago to expect the unexpected and I have also learned that the unexpected was often God’s expected provision for my good. His gifts come in the form of comforting victories as well as strengthening trials. Embrace God’s unexpected gifts no matter how comforting or discomforting they may be. Expect that over time, you will learn and grow from the unexpected opportunities that God sends your way. Read more

Life Beyond the Meetings by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: June 30, 2011 at 4:10 pm By Robert Ricciardelli
Religion often communicates that a church meeting is more significant than loving and serving people in every day life. We wonder why we do not make a difference in our communities when we do not bring relevant faith, hope, and love to those who need it the most. Be thankful for purpose filled meetings, but be more thankful for the opportunity to make a difference in people lives in moments of each and every day. Read more

The Truth, The Way, The Life by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: June 29, 2011 at 6:34 pm By Robert Ricciardelli
God Himself contains all Truth for He is Absolute Truth. He is the creator of all things, the giver of life, the All who restores all through His Truth. He beckons us to choose freedom and His abundant reality life. He empowers us to discern what is of His substance while uncovering the paradigms that mimic the truth but in the end leads us away from His best. Christ, sets us free into His amazing truth, way, and life. Read more

Replace the Lies with Truth by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: June 28, 2011 at 2:18 pm By Robert Ricciardelli
Things that happen to us are not nearly as damaging as the aftermath in our minds, and how we process them, release the power of them, or allow the painful memories to control to our mind, will, and emotions. Often times our thoughts become lies and keep us in bondage to our circumstances. Change the story in your mind, replace the lies with the truth, and healing can come while you get back on course with destiny. Read more

Leaders: Love and Strength Filtered by Humility by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: June 27, 2011 at 3:49 pm By Robert Ricciardelli
People throughout history have been marginalized by the hierarchical controls of titled and entitled leaders of various systems. There are authorities, assignments and gifts that God gives to serve others, but His Kingdom is never self serving, and always beckoning servants to lay down their lives for others. Empowerment to lead as an ambassador for God comes from the foundation of love and a strength filtered by humility. Read more

Liberty For Fallen Soldiers by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: June 26, 2011 at 6:37 pm By Robert Ricciardelli
They who die for liberty, live in liberty, eternally present with God, while leaving a hope filled legacy for future generations. We are cheerful because they made a difference for each of us, and we are tearful because we journey on without them in the freedom they made possible. We thank God for our fallen soldiers and pray amazing strength, courage, and peace for their families, as God’s truth goes marching on. Read more
