The Christian Attitude toward life is the optimism that through Jesus my life is a grace G.O.O.D.: a God orchestrated opportunity for development, disposition, and doxology. Having looked at the “G” (“G” is for God) in the acronym, we move now to the first “O.” It stands for orchestration. Orchestration means arrangement. Arrangement involves two things: first, it involves a goal; secondly, it involves […]

One of my all-time favorite people is the late, great baseball Hall of Famer Dizzy Dean. Diz was a piece of work in the best sense of the phrase. He loved to talk. Especially about himself and his brother Paul. Many a Dizzy sentence began with the words, “Me and Paul.” I know, I know. […]

I face life with The Christian Attitude that through Jesus my life is a grace G.O.O.D. A God orchestrated opportunity for development, disposition, and doxology. So, the “G” in the acronym is for “God.” Meaning, I believe that God is always the One dealing with us. Previously, I shared with you the first four reasons that […]

Panacea. Noun. “An answer or solution for all problems or difficulties.”   I believe God is always the One dealing with us. This raises difficult questions. So, I’ve been giving reasons why I believe this. In previous posts, I’ve given three of my five reasons: Authority (the Bible, my boss, teaches me this); Expectancy (I expect a Being as BIG […]

How can you believe that God is always the One dealing with you?

You’ve got six months?” Because those things […]

It’s a God orchestrated opportunity for development, disposition, and doxology. The “G” stands for God; I believe God is always the One dealing with me. Without turning people into […]

As a Grace Focused Optimist I live with The Christian Attitude, “Through Jesus, my life is a grace G.O.O.D.” The “G” in the acronym stands for God. I believe God is ALWAYS the One dealing with me. Previously, I said there are five reasons why I believe this: authority, expectancy, humility, therapy, and Christianity. But […]

The Christian Attitude toward life is, “Through Jesus, my life is a grace G.O.O.D.” In our 8-day Bible Study on Handling Life with The Christian Attitude, we said the acronym meant a “God Orchestrated Opportunity for development, disposition, and doxology.” It’s time to explore the acronym. We start with the “G.” It stands for the […]

Something’s missing in the lives of Christians who aren’t Grace Focused Optimists that, like a head cold keeping a man from savoring a fine meal, keeps them from savoring all that living with The Christian Attitude would give them. So what is it? Well, before we can answer that question, we must first answer another […]
