Winning Goals – Part One By Dr. Daniel Hallak
The Heart of Winning Goals – Part One I’ve been failing at goal setting since my 6th birthday party. My parents created thoughtful birthday games to keep everyone entertained. We started with a round of pin the tail on the donkey in the yard. They surrounded me with my friends, spun me till I was…
Moses: Unselfish Leadership By Paul Swamidass
Moses, the most unselfish leader and example. There was a tragic moment when Moses was conversing with God on Mount Sinai (Exodus 32). Moses was unaware that his brother and partner Aaron was enabling the worship of a freshly-cast golden calf at the foot of the mountain in defiance of God. God saw what…
Why Be Anxious? By Mark L. Vincent
There’s power in exchanging anxious for possibility! It was tempting to be anxious when a recent winter morning brought glare ice and inability to travel and honor some face-to-face appointments. Coming back inside after a fruitless attempt to leave our driveway, we learned that not only was our internet out but our phone package did…
Avoid the Appearance of Wrongdoing By Lee Ellis
Avoid the Appearance of Wrongdoing – A Leader’s Reminder You’re in a work or ministry situation where it’s not necessarily wrong or improper, but the appearance of your activity or decision could mistakenly be construed as a wrongdoing.

Lionel Mayell: Great Doors with Little Hinges By Ney Bailey
Did you know that great doors swing on little hinges? I’ve heard it said, “Great doors swing on little hinges’ and at 5’2″, Lionel Mayell was a “little hinge.” Lionel had a huge impact on Christianity in the last century (and into the present day)—perhaps more than anyone else. Lionel Mayell I choke up when…

Pursue Your Treasure By Scott Rodin

Consider this well-known teaching of Jesus, “where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Matthew 6:21) Your Pursuit As we begin 2019, it’s a good time to consider the treasure…
Anticipation for a Brand-New Year
Are you full of anticipation for what this new year will bring? A new year often comes with a swell of anticipation and sometimes signals significant new beginnings. For some, it marks the continuation of a longer journey of faithfulness and trust. For all it is an opportunity to build on the wisdom gained from…
Christmas Eve Reflection By Dr. Gary Hoag
Christmas Eve Reflection: New Testament Givers and Their Gifts On this Christmas Eve, rather than focus on that new home entertainment system, the latest name brand clothing or the newest toys for girls and boys, I want to shift your gaze from this century to real gifts and the givers who presented them in the first century…
My Grown-Up Christmas List By Dr. Gary Hoag
What is on your grown-up Christmas list this year? One of my favorite contemporary Christmas songs is “My Grown-up Christmas List” made famous by Amy Grant. Hopefully it is familiar to you.
