Faith Corner

Welcome to My Faith Corner.

This part of the site is designed to give credit where credit is due. I know that the success I've experienced in my real estate investing career is only by the grace of God. I lift it up to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Without Him, I believe that I could be investing and struggling, but with Him and through Him I have seen many, many lives changed.

"What if I'm not a Christian?"

I've had a strong conviction from the beginning of all this that I should remain willing to boldly give credit to God for all that he's done in my life, and continue to point to Him unashamedly through my teachings and this website.

I believe that God has a purpose in this. I believe He loved me enough to send His one and only Son to pay the price for my sins, so that I could be saved from the depths of Hell. I also believe He loves you dearly, even if you don't know Him as I am blessed to.

However if you are not a believer, please DO NOT mistakenly think you are not welcome here or that you don't belong. This website exists for anyone who has an interest or involvement in the world of flipping real estate. I personally invite you to take full advantage of the education and community you'll find here, regardless of your beliefs or spiritual condition.

But I also invite you, if you will, to seriously consider what is said here in the faith corner.

"Aren't You Just Using Religion To Try And Sell Books And Tapes?"

For the record, know that I do not want you or anyone to invest any more or less on the educational products found here based simply on the fact that I am a Christian.

I must be honest about who I am and why I do what I do. But my intent is neither to alienate you or to compel you to purchase anything. I hope that you will respect that my conviction is to speak the truth God has laid on my heart, and to trust Him to do whatever He wishes with it in your heart.

Below you will find the stories, Bible verses and poems of inspiration that God wants me to share here.

I hope you enjoy reading about times when I could see the Lord working in my business and I encourage those of you who have testimonies to share to do the same thing. Please send them to flip (at) flippinghomes.com, replacing the (at) with the @ symbol.

Also if you have questions on your heart about anything you read here, or you want to know more about what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, please let me know as well.

Thank you so much for visiting and God Bless you!

by: Steve Cook - First, I have been blessed with a wonderful wife Micheleen. In the midst of all that I do, I must admit that Im not the easiest person to get along with at times and I certainly do not deserve her. She is truly a blessing to me and I dont know what I would do without her....

After being mentored by Steve, I completed my first deal within 30 days

by: Sherman Ragland - I had more real estate books and tapes than anyone I know, in fact, I threw out more real estate books and tapes from the 1980's and 90's than most people have ever purchased, but I never got a single deal done while building my "library". It wasn't until I got serious, met Steve Cook and let Steve show me how it is done, that things started to happen....

I was not a follower of Christ when I first started investing. I did a number of deals and I made a living, but not much more.

by: Steve - Hello all- I come before you all today at a point in my life where I'm just beginning to climb out of a spiritually low season in my life. No I haven't turned from my faith, but I have felt distant from God. It is times like these where journaling really helps....
