real estae greenville sc: What Is A Home? - 01/06/09 09:06 AM
A roof to keep out the rain. Four walls to keep out the wind. Floors to keep out the cold. Yes, but home is morethan that. It is the laugh of a baby, the song of a mother, the strength of a father. Warmth of living hearts, lightfrom happy eyes, kindness, loyalty, comradeship. Home is first school and first church for young ones, wherethey learn what is right, what is good and what is kind. Where they go for comfort when they are hurt or sick.Where joy is shared and sorrow eased. Where fathers and mothers are respected and loved. Where … (0 comments)

So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11) "I believe God made me for a purpose - for China. But He also made me fast! And when I run, I feel His pleasure. To give that up would be to hold Him in contempt." - Eric Liddell, film dialogue, "Chariots of Fire"  Eric Liddell never saw winning the Olympic medal as the purpose of His life.

real estae greenville sc: A Nuclear Powered Work Life - 09/09/08 02:26 AM
The work culture of every office - good or ill - is set by a few people at the top. If the core leaders are tight, if they work in close coordination, and if they like what they are doing together, then their synergy radiates out with positive catalytic influence throughout the entire organizational chart.  The same is also true of work spiritually. A Christian approach to work-life means following the example set at the top - in this case a leadership core of three: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. From all eternity, this divine … (0 comments)

It's Monday morning. We hurry to get ready and run out the door to work. We are lucky if we squeezed in a few minutes of prayer and reading our Bible before breakfast. Church--if we went--seems like a world away as we hit the ground running. The weekend and time with our family is over. Now, it's on to other things. Gotta get to work. Time to face today's to-do list. Unread e-mails blink waiting to be answered. We dive into a day of appointments, phone calls, meetings, and putting out fires. We are in a different zone now. We are … (0 comments)

With what shall I come to the Lord and bow myself before the God on high? Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings, with yearling calves? Does the LORD take delight in thousands of rams, in ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

real estae greenville sc: Working With A Purpose - 09/04/08 02:26 AM
There are many reasons for dissatisfaction in a workplace. Some can be attributed to the employer, and some to the employee. The only one we have control over is ourselves. We can choose to be dissatisfied, working for just a paycheck, or we can determine to make a difference. Debbie, a friend of mine, was telling me of a conversation she had with an executive at a very large company that she knew from church. As this executive complained about her job, and the bureaucracy with which she was constantly struggling, Debbie began challenging her friend. "God has obviously given you skill to … (2 comments)

Have you struggled with prayer? Does prayer seem like an exercise in eloquent speech that you just don't possess?

Believers can pray from the heart, freely, spontaneously, and in their own words. If prayer is a difficult area for you, learn these basics principles of prayer and how to apply them in your life.

real estae greenville sc: Six Reasons to Fall In Love With Jesus Christ - 09/02/08 05:25 AM
It's been 17 years since I gave my life to Christ, and I can tell you, the Christian life is not an easy, 'feel good' road. It doesn't come with a benefits package guaranteed to fix all of your problems, at least not this side of heaven. But I wouldn't trade it now for any other path. The benefits far outweigh the challenges. But, the only real reason to become a Christian, or as some say, to convert to Christianity, is because you believe with all of your heart that God exists, that his Word-the Bible-is true, and that Jesus Christ … (0 comments)

The Ten Commandments or the Tablets of the Law are the laws that God gave to the people of Israel through Moses after leading them out of Egypt. In essence, they are a summary of the hundreds of laws found in the Old Testament Law and are recorded in Exodus 20:1-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21. They offer basic rules of behavior for spiritual and moral living.
The following is a modern-day paraphrase of the Ten Commandments:
Do not worship any other god than the one true God. All other gods are false gods.

real estae greenville sc: How to Get a Free Bible - 09/02/08 05:09 AM
At first I thought a better title might be, "How to Get a Free Bible without Stealing it from a Hotel Room." But, I didn't want to offend anyone, especially my Gideon friends. The truth is, the Gideons don't mind if you take those hotel Bibles. They are actually placed there for travelers who might need one. (It's a good idea, however, to ask the hotel for permission before you take the Bible!) So, there's one very easy way to obtain a free copy of the Bible.

real estae greenville sc: Sarah Palin Brings Hope to Evangelical Voters - 09/02/08 04:53 AM

  Evangelical Christians seem to be responding enthusiastically to John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin as a running mate. Up until now, one outspoken conservative leader, Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family, had been very reluctant to put his support behind McCain. However, in this recent statement made after the announcement by McCain, it's obvious that Dobson's outlook has changed:
"Sen. McCain's selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is an outstanding choice that should be extremely reassuring to the conservative base of his party. She is a strong executive who hates corruption and puts principle above politics. After floating … (0 comments)
