Dr. Creflo A. Dollar

Shannon and I feel so blessed to have the Christian life and influences we do, and in many ways it all started with Dr. Creflo A. Dollar. 

After college I planned on attending graduate school.  Still a devotionless Christian, I didn't know much about following God's plan for my life.  I had several schools in mind, and I prayed that only one would accept me, and that would be the one God had for me.  Well that happened just as I prayed.  When I went to Atlanta for orientation my dad came with me.  That Sunday morning he drove me down to College Park to visit a church.  We went to World Changers Church International, and I saw Dr. Dollar speak for the first time.

When I returned for fall classes I felt alone and frustrated.  Having nothing else to do I went back World Changers and heard Dr. Dollar again.  I asked God to show me a sign if He would have me join this church.  A man of God, a complete stranger, walked by me and gave me a friendly rub on the shoulder, so I went down to the altar to join.  10 months later I was a different person.  I went from the life of the party to God's witness for eternal life.  I shared Jesus with all my friends.  I read the Word daily.  I now loved God and I had clear understanding of many deep Spiritual subjects, the latter thanks in large part to Dr. Dollars outstanding and informative preaching.  Shannon joined me in Atlanta for the next two years.  We were baptized there, completed membership classes there, and even attended pre-marital classes and counseling there. 

Dr.  Dollar does have many critics, but we know the truth.  We sat in his church twice a week for three years.  We heard his multi-week series on love, joy, emotions, the Holy Spirit, fear, victory, holiness and countless other subjects.  Yes he did speak about prosperity and money, and boy I'm glad he did.

Dr. Dollar does so many exploits for God, we couldn't begin to list them all here.  But to us nothing compares more than his teaching the Word of God with simplicity and understanding.  The World Changers Church motto is, "in all thy getting, get understanding."  Dr. Dollar teaches the deep things of God so that anyone can grasp and apply them.  The gift of wisdom flows through his life and ministry in abundance.  When you sit under him that gift will flow right to you.

If you live anywhere near Atlanta, Georgia, you need to visit this church.  I also encourage you to join, your life will change very quickly.  He now also pastors a wonderful church in New York City, which we have been blessed to attend several times.  What an exciting time for you to join a fantastic young church with such an awesome man of God as Pastor.

The Love Revolution

Image
Recently I read a new book by Joyce Meyer, the Love Revolution.  I must say that it is fantastic.  It discusses the Christian duty to love and gives inspiration and education on the subject.  Joyce wisely teaches us more about love and how to love.  But really, Joyce doesn't just want us to read a book, she wants a revolution, one that I can proudly say I've joined. I don't think we can overstate the importance of love to Christians.  Jesus said that by our love for each other people would recognize us as Christians.  Jesus said that the two most important commandments are for us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and for us to love our neighbor as ourselves.  Then Jesus gave us a new commandment, enhancing the second one above, that we should love people as Christ loved us.  Christ sacrificed Himself so that we could be saved and have better lives, only because He loved us.  Therefore we must also learn to sacrificially love others.  Furthermore, the

You Must Defeat Doubt

Today we will talk about faith and doubt, and we are going to see that doubt is one of the greatest enemies we will ever have.  We will also talk about defeating doubt. If you are anything like me, you have several areas of your life that you are currently praying about.   You have several areas of your life where you would like God’s help or to see God’s best.   So you pray about those areas and you try to make positive changes.   I hope you listened to my last episode because I talked about what to do in any difficult situation.   To briefly sum it up, for any difficult situation you need to pray about it, study God’s Word about it, do anything God says, and stay in faith that God’s Word is working in your life.   We also talked about praying instead of worrying and what it means to stand in faith despite contrary natural circumstances. If you have listened to me talk about faith, and I have a lot of episodes about faith, you know that true Biblical faith involves believing God

Looking At What Can't Be Seen

Everyone understands that a huge portion of physical reality can’t be seen with the human eye.  Perhaps most importantly, we can’t see the air we breathe.  Isn’t that amazing, we can’t even see something that our bodies depend on constantly.  This natural realm, all that consists of what we might perceive with our physical senses, contains many other important substances we can’t see.  But there is another entire realm that we can’t see or perceive with our natural senses, the spiritual realm.  I know even the phrase “the spiritual realm” sounds weird and you’re thinking about skipping this teaching, but the importance of spiritual reality cannot be overstated.  The spiritual realm is actually the higher realm, the more important realm, with authority and power over the natural realm.  Even a basic understanding of the spiritual realm will dramatically improve your life and faith journey. I’ve heard people discuss the spiritual realm before, but I’ve never seen a teaching from any
