“Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty!”
Proverbs 14:23 (NLT)

JUNE 25 - Talk is as cheap as second-hand goods! Nevertheless, we must become men and women who no longer simply talk about what we are going to do. Instead, we must carry it out. For far too long, we have talked about what we are going to accomplish; now it is time to back up our words with corresponding actions. God proves everything He says with action—He always fulfills what He promised. We must do the same.

We see in the above Scripture that work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty. That principle holds true for all areas of life. Getting fit, building Godly habits, and investing resources—these are things we can begin immediately. We must go beyond knowing that we should do something and actually do it. People are often content to simply know something — they then feel they don’t have to do it.

The apostle James tells us, “But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only.” Hearing the Word does nothing for us when action is absent. We must put action to our words; this leads us to the promotion God desires for us.

Spiritual Checkup Pack - CD

What is the ultimate prize that this world has to offer? The Nobel Peace Prize? An Oscar? A Super Bowl ring? A lucrative recording contract?

Certainly you can find all types of contests in which to compete and a host of valuable prizes to covet in today’s society. Are you equipped to win the prize and obtain the goal? In this package, Dr. Robb Thompson explains to you how to win the ultimate prize of life – the heart of your Heavenly Father.

Using illustrations from the lives of Biblical men and women, Dr. Thompson vividly portrays what it means to be a person after God’s own heart and how to do the necessary examining of your own heart in the process. He tackles the all-important topics of submission and covenant loyalty – scriptural concepts that are frequently shunned and swept under the collective rug in Christendom today.

As Dr. Thompson so succinctly asks, “What else do you have in life, if you don’t have the heart of the Father?” That’s a question only you can answer for yourself. Pursue the prize of your Father’s heart, and watch everything else in your life fall into place (Matthew 6:33).
