Stop  and smell the roses today.  If you don't take the time to slow down, God will slow you down.  The most beautiful things in life are absolutely FREE, how are you spending your most precious moments?  When was the last time you took a walk with a friend?  Do you spend intentional time with your family?  When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried? Don't move around so fast that you miss out on the blessings God is showering upon you.  Enjoy a quality, well balanced lifestyle.   After all, life is meant to be enjoyed.   The quality of life is more important than life itself. -Alexis Carrel   Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.   Steal away with us and be fed by God~ Stolen Lunches. 

We  all have people in our lives that we pray for on a daily basis.  Today, let's take the time to pray for that one special person in your life that you wish to see have a relationship with Christ.  Maybe it's your mom, brother, or closest friend.  Who is this person that immediately pops up in your mind?  Let's speak with expectancy in our heart for God to move mightily in their lives today.   Right now, wherever you are, stop down and pray for this one special person.  Say a prayer for God to move in their lives.  Pray for them to fall in love with Christ like never before.  Pray for a beautifully, strong relationship to brew, that will change their lives for the better, all for the glory of God. My mother was a Sunday school teacher. So I am a byproduct of prayer. My mom just kept on praying for her son. -Steve Harvey   Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can jo

Have you ever done something wrong and immediately felt horrible about it?  This feeling is okay.  It's called a conviction. This is a beautiful, gentle, nudge of the Holy Spirit correcting you.   The difference between a conviction and condemnation is if you dwell on how wrong you are for a lengthy period of time. God immediately forgave you the second you messed up.  Why can't you forgive yourself?  Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do. -Voltaire   Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.   Steal away with us and be fed by God~ Stolen Lunches. 

It's easy to praise God in the good times, but where is your praise during the bad times?  Can you praise God through your pain? Think about all God has done for you and your family.  Stop right where you are and THANK HIM for all He's done for you~ Give Him Praise.  God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. - John Piper   Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.   Steal away with us and be fed by God~ Stolen Lunches. 

Faith and fear BOTH require you to believe in something that hasn't even happened.  So where do you stand?  Is your faith in God, or do you find yourself quick to grow weary?   When you let fear take over, you are telling God you don't trust Him.  Stand firmly on your faith today.  Hebrews 11:1 says, "Faith is the substance of all things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. - Nelson Mandela   Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.   Steal away with us and be fed by God~ Stolen Lunches. 

Do you wake up and immediately spend time with God, or do you jump on social media and skim through emails? Prayer is the best way to talk with God.  Practice building a relationship with God by staying in constant communication with Him. 1 Thessalonians 5:16 reads, "Always be joyful. Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." If you have an extremely busy life, here are a couple ideas to help strengthen your prayer life: * Sandwich Your Day- Start your day with prayer and end your day with prayer.   * Set Prayer Alarms- Designate certain times of the day that you want to intentionally stop down and prayer.    To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing. -Martin Luther Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign u

Do you like your job?  Do you enjoy waking up each morning and walking into work? Think about this for one second, how much different would the world be if all of us were truly walking in our purpose and in-line with our calling?   Allow God to lead you.  Stay open and consitently say, "Yes" to new opportunities until you stumble upon the purpose God specifically designed for you.  You are Uniquely Qualified to walk into your destiny.  Envision living in your calling, daily.  It does not have to solely be a dream.  It can be your reality.  Matthew 25: 14-30. The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.  – Mark Twain   Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.   Steal away with us and be fed by God~ Stolen Lunches. 

You may ask yourself, "Why am I going through these things?"  However, your mess will be your message and your test will become your testimony.  Things may look bad in your life now but God has purpose for your pain.   Stop telling God how big your problems are and start telling your problems how big your God is.  Roman 8:28, "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."

The best way to witness to others is through your actions!  Do you show up to work on time? Or are you early for that matter? Do you do your job with excellence?  Do you speak life and love over others, or do you find yourself gossiping?   As others watch your every move, show them that Christ lives within you.   Show love and give grace to all.  This is the absolute best way to witness to someone who does not know God. John 13:35, "Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples." The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free. -Swami Vivekananda Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsle

Even if you're in the midst of a storm, please believe that God is still showering blessings upon your life.  The only reason why you think nothing good is happening in your life, is because you have chosen to only look at the bad. Fix your focus. Today, fix your focus on the blessings.  Trust me, they're there! Mediate on gratefulness that's in your heart.  Give your time, attention, thoughts and actions only to those things that are good. Phil 4:8. I'm just thankful for everything, all the blessings in my life, trying to stay that way. I think that's the best way to start your day and finish your day. It keeps everything in perspective. -Tim Tebow Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.

Just as you charge up your cellphone, laptop or ipad, stay connected to God just as tightly.  You may have a charger at home near your bed.  You might even have a charger in your car or in your bag.  Stay charged and connected to God too! The greatest relationship is the one you have with God.  So, stay connected to Him.  Stay filled up with His word and consistently stay prayerful. This is how you will fight all battles.  This is how you stay prepared. Romans 8:35. So if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready, and that is how I run my life. -Will Smith Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.

There is purpose inside of you!  If you are unsure of your purpose, it's quite alright.  Simply, think about what excites you the most.  What are your passions?  What do you love?  What is your heart's desire?  Your purpose will be found in these answers.   Also, remember that following your purpose does not necessarily mean quitting your job.  You can walk in your purpose in your current season.  For example, if your purpose is to help others. How are you helping people at your job now?   God created YOU for a reason.  Be open to the spirit in deciphering what that calling is.  There is purpose inside of you.  Walk in it! I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents; we're all teachers - if we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn, trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door. -Marla Gibbs Stolen Lunches is a bible study comm

Your mind is like a house.  You need to protect it 24/7.  Bolt lock the doors and set the alarm because the devil is lurking outside looking for a way to get in.  His evil plan is to whisper thoughts of doubt, worry, insecurity and fear into your mind. If he slides in through a cracked window or an open door, over time you may find yourself depressed and hopeless. Today, protect your house.  Guard your mind with the word of God. Guard your heart by staying in prayer and constant devotion.  Keep the devil and his evil schemes out of your mind. They don't belong here!  Be a force of love as often as you can and turn away negative thoughts whenever you feel them surface. -Wayne Dyer Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.

Sometimes, we are so focussed on ourselves that we miss the true meaning of life. God created you to be a blessing to others.  It's that simple! God gave His only Son to die for our Sins.  The greatest gift that you can give back to God is what you do with your life.  Today, take your focus off of you, your setbacks, and your shortcomings.  Instead, look around, who can you bless right NOW? When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance. -Joel Osteen Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.

When times are tough and there seems to be no way out, where is your faith?  When your circumstances look grim, where is your faith?  When all you keep hearing are "No's" where is your faith that God will supply your "Yes?" When you go through the happy, fun-loving season of life it's easy for us to proclaim our faith in God.  But, where is your faith when the seasons turn dark?  Faith is not FAITH until it's tested. Stand firm on your faith today.  Believe that God will pull you through.  There is nothing He can't handle.   Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase. -Martin Luther King, Jr. Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.

Do you feel the dark cloud over you today?  Are you walking into that heaviness of life? Do you feel like throwing in the towel? The best sermon you can ever listen to is the one you have to preach to yourself.  You ARE the child of the Most High God and He Loves YOU! Speak life and love over your situation.  Speak words of prosperity, joy and peace.  Sometimes you're the only one, so encourage yourself.   Our heavenly Father understands our disappointment, suffering, pain, fear, and doubt. He is always there to encourage our hearts and help us understand that He's sufficient for all of our needs. When I accepted this as an absolute truth in my life, I found that my worrying stopped. -Charles Stanley Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats, missions trips and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.  Sign up for our newsletters & stay connected.

Many times it's extremely difficult and border-line terrifying saying "YES" to God.  We hear the whispers and feel the tugs, but we do not feel qualified to answer the call. We are disciples of God.  The word "disciple" means we are to discipline ourselves to the word of God.  Today, say "YES" to God.  God makes the impossible possible.  There is nothing you can't do when God is in it.

PREPARATION + OPPORTUNITY = PURPOSE When you intentionally pursue growth, it uncovers your purpose!

Take a look at your calendar for the next 12 months, and rework your calendar so you have an appointment with yourself for personal growth every day, five days a week, fifty weeks a year. You might be thinking, What, I don’t have time for that!? That’s probably true. Do it anyway. If you want to succeed, you need to do whatever it takes. Get creative with your hour: get up an hour early, stay up an hour later, give up your lunch hour, put in extra times on the weekends, drive time university, working out and getting ready with a podcast, audible, etc.   OPPORTUNITY: “When it was time; when the turn came” It’s your time, and it’s your turn.When it is your time, and when it is your turn, you will already be prepared for the opportunity. LIFE APPLICATION: Spend two hours in reflection f

Sometimes we try too hard to be perfect.  However, perfection does not exist.  Jesus was the only person who ever lived a perfect life.  The beauty in this struggle is that God loves you with all your perfect imperfections.   Today, erase the enemy of perfection and bask in the gratefulness of God's forgiving grace.  He loves you just the way you are.   Stolen Lunches is a bible study community of believers.  We hold men, women, and couples bible studies.  We have annual retreats and weekly prayer calls.  You can join us from anywhere in the world.   Steal away with us and be fed by God~ Stolen Lunches.
