Taking Risks is Closely Related to Our Faith
Is God in this business of risk taking or not? Does He want us to play it safe in every aspect of our life? I want us to take a look at a man who took some risks; and through this I want us to look at some principles that I believe if you will listen attentively and follow these carefully that God will bless your life wonderfully.  |

A Look at Failure
Success is good; failure is bad. Avoid failure at all costs. What's wrong with those statements? They ignore the fact that our God is a God of second chances. He uses failure to bring about good; to draw us to Him, to prepare us for future success, to get our lives back on track, to help us see ourselves more clearly, and to help us see others more compassionately. Let's focus on these last two. Failure keeps us humble, and humility is a good thing in God's kingdom. Without failure, we would quickly forget who is really in control and who is really invincible and omnipotent. We'd start to think of ourselves more highly than we ought. The next time failure leaves you feeling empty-handed, look again. You may find you've received a priceless gift; the opportunity to grow in Christian character and to minister to another. |
