Strength to Hold Our Ground by Robert Ricciardelli
In a world of turmoil in the sovereign freedom that God gives humanity, many will say “Why doesn’t this loving God do something about this mess!” Some will declare our faith irrelevant, or consider it an obstacle towards real solutions. We were promised persecution and for God to give us a timely response. Let’s not be afraid of cynicism coming our way, but trust that God will give us the strength to hold our ground.

Vulnerability Is A Sign of Great Strength by Robert Ricciardelli
Vulnerability is often seen as a weakness. when it is actually a sign of great strength. Real life begins with the reality of self while rejecting all pretenses. To the level we allow ourselves to be ourselves before God and mankind is the level of healing and wholeness we will receive and live by. Healthy and whole people live authentically and allow others to see them as they really are, imperfections and all.

Guard Your Heart and Souls by Robert Ricciardelli
Losing our souls means to lose touch with our center and true calling in life. We can become so distracted by all that is happening around us that we can become fragmented and confused. Take care not to be deceived as many will come in Christ’s or other names promising all sorts of experiences. It is important for us to be of sober mind, and remain faithfully centered on Christ Himself, His Kingdom, and His glory.

Be Concerned of Your Own End Time by Robert Ricciardelli
Living in the end-times or last days has been spoken from generation to generation. This does not mean that creation will soon come to its end, but that we continue towards the fullness of all things. Terrible events have surrounded every generation and must be lived as preparation for the fullness of God’s unfolding Kingdom. Do not fear end-time theories, but rather live in faith and complete your own end time well.

The Importance of Verbalizing Love by Robert Ricciardelli
Words can communicate love while also affirming our actions of love. It is important to verbalize love and encouragement to others. It brings life to them, empowers them, and completes the exchanges of love. It is not always easy to express our love directly in words. But whenever we do, we discover we have offered a blessing that will be long remembered. Words have the power to create life.
