Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)  We’ve all learned the importance of a good attitude. We also know that a positive outlook can be easy to fake when things are going well. However, when the pressure hits, attitudes show their true colours. This is because our attitudes stem from our deepest, inner beliefs of the heart. To keep a positive attitude even when things are rough, your beliefs need to line up with the positivity you’re putting out. We’ve been on a series discussing three steps to developing a great attitude: choose, refuse and expect. First, you need to choose to have a good attitude because only you control your approach to life. Second, …

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2 (NKJV)  Changing your attitude isn’t a monumental undertaking. To form a great attitude toward every area of your life, you need to stay open to new perspectives and make a few small adjustments. As we’ve said, there are three steps involved in changing your attitude: choose, refuse and expect. Yesterday we covered the first one, and today we’ll discuss the second: refuse to let your positive attitude go.  Romans 12:2 teaches us not to be conformed to this world. While many people take this verse to mean that we need to …

Pero ahora, sin la ley, Dios ha mostrado de qué manera nos hace justos, y esto lo confirman la misma ley y los profetas: por medio de la fe en Jesucristo, Dios hace justos a todos los que creen. Romanos 3:21-22 (DHH) Cuando le damos nuestras vidas a Jesús, nos acercamos a la gracia de Dios. Comprender la gracia concede poder a la fe porque nos damos cuenta de que tenemos todo lo que necesitamos dentro de nosotros para vivir la vida maravillosa que Dios nos ha prometido en Su Palabra. Sin embargo, también debemos entender la justicia para desarrollar una fe inquebrantable. Cada vez que intentamos creer en las promesas de Dios, nuestro mayor enemigo es la duda. Todas nuestras fallas y errores vienen …

Finally, brethern, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report admirable, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. Philippians 4:8 (NKJV)  A study performed by a team of psychologists at a leading university determined that attitude accounts for 85 percent of what makes people successful. Education, intelligence and talent are important, but they only account for about 5 percent of success. The good news is that you can form a great attitude toward every area of your life. Three simple steps are involved: choose, refuse and expect. Today we’ll cover the first one: choose your attitude. Your attitude is one …

USTED NO ESTÁS SOLO EN ESTO

Pero Dios, en su bondad y gratuitamente, los hace justos, mediante la liberación que realizó Cristo Jesús. Romanos 3:24 (DHH) La confianza en lo que Dios nos ha prometido puede hacer que superemos cualquier cosa. ¿Pero cómo desarrollamos el tipo de fe que puede hacernos vencedores y que puede mover montañas? Hay dos conceptos específicos que debemos entender que nos conducen a creer y tener confianza: la gracia y la justicia. Ayer tocamos ambos, pero recapitulemos. La gracia de Dios se hizo nuestra cuando le dimos nuestras vidas a Jesús, y esta gracia abarca mucho. La gracia es la misericordia y el favor de Dios en nuestras vidas, pero también es Su poder y habilidad en nosotros y Su provisión completa en cada área de …
