Everything.
Absolutely everything is going to be affected by the concepts outlined in this video. Hat tip to Ron McMenamy for sending this one to me.
A good friend today used terminology like “fault lines” and “tectonic plates” when referring to what’s becoming visible and starting to creak like the timbers of an old ship.
The [...]
Dear Friends,

God has been opening the doors for me and providing me with opportunities to reach out and teach about the purpose He has for [...]
It’s been a little long since our last post, and I’m challenged this morning about writing more frequently. In part, the challenge comes from a passage I read this morning:
Wealth created by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist and a deadly trap. Proverbs 21:6 (NLT)
This passionately stirred me up today.
In business, we as [...]
In an ad running alongside a phenomenal story in today’s USA Today, two good friends are portrayed as making history in multiple ways. Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith are not only two African American coaches facing off in the Superbowl, but they are good friends and, more importantly, they share a strong faith in [...]
In Part 1, we talked about God’s “Grand Goals” for the birth of Jesus. In the interest of sparking further thought and discussion, here are some more:
God’s Grand Goal #4: Reproduction/Duplication
Jesus was only round one. Paul called Him, “the firstborn among many brethren” (Romans 8:29). Clearly, none of us are worthy nor are we [...]
No matter what your feelings about the modern-day celebration of Christmas, one particular value of this season is the return in our thinking to God’s grand purpose for injecting His Son into earth.
But, before you dismiss this as another trite re-hashing of the same old message, let me challenge you to read these next few [...]
And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. Luke 19:15 (NKJV)
Isn’t it interesting that the first question the master asked when he [...]
Today’s Proverb is all about being practical. Here’s some fun from it:
Many a man proclaims his own loving-kindness and goodness, but a faithful man who can find? Proverbs 20:6 (AMP)
This one has always scared me a bit. Okay… maybe a lot. It’s easy for any of us to talk about how good [...]
Jon, the Baptist (yes, that’s what he calls himself) pointed out an excellent article in the Wall Street Journal recently about executives who are relying upon overtly Biblical principles to manage. I located a free (no subscription to WSJ required) copy of the story here. WSJ’s Phred Dvorak does a nice job of [...]
Proverbs 4 is a beautiful description of how King Solomon, who was arguably the highest-grossing consultant of all time, received training from his father (King David) about the necessity of getting Wisdom.
One of my favorite sections of this passage is in verse 7:
The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; And with all your acquiring, get understanding. Proverbs [...]
