Grace Quotient - GQ

2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. We Wear the Mask By Paul Laurence Dunbar We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,— This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be over-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while...

Support Team Whimsy. Acts 1:9-11. These were his last words. As they watched, he was taken up and disappeared in a cloud. They stood there, staring into the empty sky. Suddenly two men appeared—in white robes! They said, “You Galileans!—why do you just stand here looking up at an empty sky? This very Jesus who was taken up from among you to heaven will come as certainly—and mysteriously—as he left.” Mark 1:15

Do You Believe? EP 357
Speak Life Church
Romans 10: 13 for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? 15 How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who [a]bring good news of good things!” Do you believe in God? Do you trust Him Have you confused traditions and our culture over faith in God? Then Change For believers, another way to think of it is...

Do You Feel Like a Fake? - Ep 356
Speak Life Church
Imposter Syndrome When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 16:13-17 Imposter syndrome...

Watch Your Mouth - Episode 355
Speak Life Church
1 Thessalonians 5:18 Proverbs 18:21 James 3: 6-12 A curse is when you look out and judge current circumstances as they presently are.

Jeremiah 30:17: "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds..." 1 Peter 5:10, 2 Chronicles 7:14, James 1:5 Restoration can be defined as the act of returning something to its former condition.

What Are You Fishing For?
What motivates you to do what you do?
I love to fish. If I fish in freshwater, I take a smaller rod and lighter line. I use artificial bait that looks like a bug or edible thing to a fish that might find its way by accident into the water.
In saltwater, I have to go heavier. Anything is possible but I am not capable of anything so I have to moderate.
We are all fishing for something.
Earthly accolades, wealth, something of value, women, men, forgiveness, acceptance, to belong, for love,
- Men pleasers- Ephesians 6:6 Not with eye service, as men pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
- Gold/wealth- Matthew 23:17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
- Treasures-Proverbs 10:2 - Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
- Lust of the flesh- Galatians 5:16 - This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
What’s in your tackle box?
If all you are catching is hell? You might want to change your bait. You might want to change your tackle. You might want to mend your nets.
Simon Peter, and Andrew had already joined him, now he was asking the sons of Zebadee.
Matthew 4:21 Going on from there He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them.
James and John, quit fishing for the wrong thing. So what are you fishing for?
Nets were used back in this time for everything.
I am fishing for the people with a mind for God. I am fishing for the hurt and the lost people of God. I am fishing for the one. The mini, not the mega. I am not fishing for attention, recognition, accolades, or compliments.
I am fishing to bring families back together. To bring wives back to their husbands, husbands back to Christ. I am fishing to bring parents back to parenting.
I am fishing to let young men, be men. I am fishing to make old men wiser, revered and loved again. I am fishing to put you back in right order with God.
And I will do it by hook or by crook. Fishing hook or shepherds crook.
Only you can bring back your crazy kids. Pastor can’t do it. if you kids have strayed, its your fault, own up to it, and minister there first.
Oops, just lost some folks. You were with me until I went there.
Deuteronomy 32:46
And he said to them, Set your hearts to all the words which I testify among you this day, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
Ephesians 6:4
And, you fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord
So what are you fishing for?
(4 points) Fishing requires patience. It requires the right equipment. It requires commitment. It requires knowledge.
- Patience (Rom 5:4) And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation
- Equipment -That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Tim 3:17)
Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. Ephesians 4:12
- Commitment Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
- Knowledge A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. (Proverbs 14:6)
Wisdom and knowledge are granted unto you; and I will give you riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before you, neither shall there any after you have the like. 2 Chron 1:12
Mark 1:17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
What’s in your tackle box?
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God…” Ephesians 4:11-13
