One of my business advisors (also my father in-law) has challenged me a number of times with the question: “are you building a business or creating a job for yourself” I see a lot of people who call themselves business owners but as Bruce points out what they’ve really done is create a job for [...]
My struggle with technology continues. I continue to wrestle with innovation. I know, I’m not supposed to, I’m supposed to be cutting edge, with all the latest tech, gadgets and gizmos…but I’m not sure it’s all working like it should. Don’t get me wrong I’m a fan of both, but not just for the sake [...]
“How much do you have to hate someone to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell someone about that.” One of the highlights from this clip from Penn, a well known atheist, who talks about someone who gives him a bible. As much as I’m a much bigger advocate of creating relationships than [...]
My wife came across this one, and I just had to talk about it. Flippin First Baptist Church is a real church, located in…Flippin, AR. Now, I’m not trying to just poke fun (okay, I am a little bit)…in fact if you are the pastor of the Flippin Church, I want to work with you…I’ll [...]
When I say LA you think sunshine and palm trees, but for many it means cold and rainy nights looking for shelter. Mark Horvath, of invisiblepeople.tv, is trying to help those that find themselves in that place by telling their stories. This Christmas (and I wish I wasn’t so late in thinking to do this) [...]
As I sit back in my chair today thinking of all I have to be thankful for, I’m reminded of how great God really is. I know that if it weren’t for him that none of this would be possible, I wouldn’t be writing to you all today, I wouldn’t be carrying out the passion [...]
Below is a great video showing the type of outreach and compassion the church should be doing. Too often we think there must be an altar call or invitation to salvation after every outreach event we do. Don’t hear me wrong, I think there’s a time and place for the altar and in fact I [...]
Christianity today has an article about some new advertising taken out by the Church of England to “soothe commuters travelling into work this morning”. Obviously as we move out of summer into the fall season it becomes a busy time for everyone. The church conducted a survey that shows that this new season brings extra [...]
Pause for a moment… Think about Christ’s Church. (By Christ’s church, I mean every living believer.) Think about the resources God has made available to us. Consider the money we control. Consider the talent, gifts, and passion of perhaps two billion people. Now consider the needs around the world. What do you think God could [...]
Do whatever it takes…just get em through the doors, God will do the rest. I have found myself recently talking about setting and meeting expectations because while the quote, which I’ve heard plenty of times before, sounds good…it simply isn’t how it works. We see it in children…they raise the level of expectations. We see [...]
