Show Others How Great a Christian you can be

It has been a while since I last posted. I’ve been traveling, and had lots of work to do. Things have happened since the last post.

I have a new book trailer to share with you. Just click on the link below to see it. It is for my book, “Signs of Hope! Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

This was done by Apex Reviews. I highly recommend them for your book trailer projects.

What does it take to be a good Christian? What changes when we are first re-born? Let me give you some thoughts:

Let’s pretend you are a new car. You have just been put together into a new frame and new engine. You look pretty to all that come to see you.

But what will you do when it is time to perform? What will people think when they see you running.

People will be testing you out everyday to see if you are really as good as you look. They will tempt you. They will wonder how you will do under pressure.

You may not be a Jaguar, but if you are truly a Christian, you will shine and perform beautifully.

Yes, there will be times when you will need a tune-up. That is called church. There will be times when you are not running as smoothly as you would want. That is called prayer time.

Rev up your engine and show others how great a Christian you can be. Win the race, and be the champion.

After you have looked at the book trailer, I hope you will check out the “bookstore,” and see some more about the book.

There is a special sale going on from now through Christmas. (Yes, it is only 55 more day until Christmas!)

In the stores, the book costs $19.99, but on this site it is only $15.99. The shipping has been cut in half as well. A total savings of over $6.00.

Finally, I want you to always remember:

Never, ever, give up!

Be Still and Know That I am God

It has been a few days since I last posted. I have been busy with my blog at: www.dailysignsofhope.com. It has been growing so fast that we are ranked # 2 out of 6.1 similar sites according to the Google Search Rankings. We are averaging about 15 new RSS feed subscribers a day.

I would love to start that kind of action here as well. Please take a couple of minutes and sign-up for the RSS feed here. It really helps this site move up in the rankings.

I have some exciting news! I just had a trailer made for my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”  I received an email yesterday with the final draft in it, and I approved it. They said it would be 3-4 days before it hits YouTube, and the other video outlets on the web. I will be having it as a regular feature on this site when it comes out.

I am very impressed with the quality of it, and I hope you will too. Keep checking back to see when it comes out.

Often times when we pray we are doing in a noisy, or busy place. It is very difficult to concentrate when that is happening. Look at it this way:

Imagine you are at a party with a friend and you are trying to talk to them. There is a lot of noise, and clamor. You are trying to whisper what you want to say in the other person’s ear.

The one listening will not be able to hear what you are saying. That could be what happens when we are in a crowded and noisy area when we are praying to God. We can’t concentrate, and will not be able to get across what we really are trying to say.

 We need to find a quiet place when we “talk” to God. We need to be able to concentrate on what we are saying, and who we are talking to.

God says, “Be still and know that I am God.” He is telling us that He is our God, and we need to quietly follow Him, and be connected through prayer.

The next time you pray, think about the quality of how you are praying. Think like God is sitting right next to you in a chair carrying on a conversation with you. Then share your hurts, and thoughts about others you are concerned about. It will bring the level of your prayers to a new high, and you will feel much closer to God.
