One Bible, But Many Versions of Jesus Christ
Since the day I set my heart to be a serious Christian, I began to discover that there is one bible but many version of Christ. Even the bible itself consists of many versions and translations, but nevertheless they all speak about the same thing in a different light and wordings. The major difference in the Christian world is that there are actually many types of Jesus and all of them half truths, partial and bias, not the complete understanding of our Lord God and Savior.
My Own UnworthinessAre any of us worthy enough to be called by our heavenly Father to do His work? I have heard many say that they feel unworthy. I walk in warm, loving companionship with my Father, and I feel okay. But that doesn’t mean I feel I am worthy or good enough to be called by Him for this work.
Does God Tempt Or Test?This is a question that many Christians have not thought about and perhaps those that have thought of it might not have really understood it. There is a great difference between a tempt and a test.

Take Your Flaw and Make it Your GiftSome might say that one of the things that isn’t my best quality is that I am overly sensitive. I take criticism, (even something that is meant to be helpful) too much to heart. One day I was feeling down and very disappointed in myself. I can’t write when I’m down. Now, it’s no good to “stew in your own juice” as my mother used to say, so I decided to make it a day of contemplation.
The ShackI read a wonderful book the other day. It had been recommended and even loaned to me by one of my favorite life coaching clients. ‘The Shack’ by Wm. Paul Young spoke to me on many levels.
Personal Beliefs Define UsLack of integrity or purposeful dishonesty are not the problem when we deceive ourselves about truth. When we are not honest with ourselves about any situation, then we’re probably not happy or living a fulfilled live. We may be victims of some type of trauma, have painful memories from childhood or have difficulty with our day to day relationships. We then block the painful memories and thoughts therefore deluding ourselves but we know something isn’t right. Sometimes we need help, a neutral third party that is not emotionally vested in our personal live.
God’s Plan For Your FinancesGod meets your financial needs through different ways. He can respond to your financial needs by blessing you with a good job.

God’s Plan For Your BusinessYour business should start small and then grow through your diligence and more importantly, God’s blessings.

God will help you not to engage in deals that are likely to lead you into trouble.
God’s Plan For Your FutureYour future should not depend on fate, fortune or some good or bad luck somewhere. Your future is determined by God as long as you believe and live in obedience to His word. It is important for you to plan but I am sure you have so far realized that things do not always work out as per your plan. This is because there is a supernatural hand of God that turns and twists events according to His good pleasure. Therefore, you had better relax and release your plans to God.
Final Words From an Ole Miss RebelOle Miss granted me a brief space in their current project to catalog the history of all the graduates of our beloved university. What a humbling experience to be included in the same book with storied athletes I once cheered for and the intellectual giants I remain forever in awe of.
