The Truth About Taking Risks
One thing common to people who achieve a high level of success is their willingness to take risks. One of my early mentors always posed these two questions when I was considering a risky move. “What is the worst thing that could happen?” and “If that worst thing did happen, what would the damage be?”
A Simple Yet Profound Leadership Lesson
I would really love to give credit to the proper person for this, but honestly the notes on my desk got shuffled around and I can’t seem to connect with which one of the presenters at the event is responsible for this teaching. It is so simple, yet so profound. I would also add that although this is directed at church leadership, the principals are valid for excelling as a leader in any profession or walk of life.
The Paradox of Elohim
Suddenly everyone seems to be discussing the oneness, unity, and plurality of God as revealed in scripture. The paradox exists in many places in scripture, but is most often cited from the Shema, a sacred prayer recited by Jews the world over, and found in Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.” It clearly states “the Lord is one” or “the Lord alone” depending upon which translation you read, however the the Hebrew word Elohim, which is plural, is the word translated to mean God in the singular.

Without a clear expectation of success, we are just stuck with the way things are, or worse.
Pride & Freedom – The Great Deceivers
We have been taught that many false prophets will emerge prior to the return of the Lord. It is up to us to be wary of false prophets, and to test and measure what they teach through study of the word of God as guided by the Holy Spirit. We are all accountable to do this, rather than to simply choose a leader who we would follow based on our own opinions.

An Angel Among Us
Allaine was soft spoken, gentle, kind, and always willing to help. She had a sparkle in her eyes that is difficult to describe, and whenever I needed advice or clarification, she was the one that I could trust to hold me accountable to the most righteous path. She was the person in my life that inspired me to seek wisdom.
What If Joseph & Mary Had Facebook?
Most impressive to me this year however is the way the story and the message of Christmas are being shared in a more contemporary way, and since that is the call on my life, to reach young people with the word of God in their comfort space, I am just thrilled at the creativity I have seen this season in the sharing of the Gospel message.

Have I Told You That I Love You Yet Today?
It had been a pretty long time since I really sat and thought about my mother. It has been quite a few years since she passed away, and in all the busyness of life in the 21st century… well there is just not near enough time for quiet reflection anymore. I have to thank my…
