A Year-End Review of Everything By Dr. Brian S. Simmons
Everything You Do Is Worthy of Review! The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to Him! Psalm 24:1. God is the Creator. Since He created everything and everyone, He alone retains ownership rights for all He has made! It is His prerogative, alone, how much or…

Gracious and Attractive Conversation By Ed McDowell
Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. Colossians 4:6 NLT Have you ever connected the principle that having the right response for others is tied to your gracious and attractive conversation?

Thanksgiving Is All in Your Head By R.Scott Rodin
Is Thanksgiving in your head, and should it be? The Oxford Dictionary defines thanksgiving as “the feeling of being happy or grateful because of something.”[1] I think the Oxford Dons got it wrong. What they’ve described is thanksfeeling. If they are right, then it will only take a brief viewing of local, national, and world news to convince you to leave…

Time Management By Dr. Brian S. Simmons
Mastering the Stewardship of Time Time management is about getting work done efficiently and effectively with a focus on our most important purposes. All are given 24 hours per day, seven days per week, 365 days per year. And, once time is spent, it is finished. There are no do-overs! So, how do leaders manage…

Leaders Who Persevere By Larry Gadbaugh
Biblical Perspectives on Perseverance Leadership requires perseverance through losses. Sacrifice is the cost of leadership. But what kind of a leader can outlast the threats from temptations, tests, and trials that he or she encounters?

Therefore and More By Michael Kelley
Understanding the Significance of Therefore in Scripture The link between an indicative statement of fact and an imperative statement of response is “therefore.” You find it all over the Bible. How it works Indicatives are facts. They are realities. And in the Bible, they are firm and secure because the Bible is the unchanging Word…

Is There a New Adventure Awaiting You? Have you ever been asked to do something big, or are you called to a new adventure? This includes something you have never done before, and you are pretty confident you cannot do it alone. This is where Moses finds himself. Moses is old. God is preparing Moses…

Fight the Fretting Fad By Jon Lewis
The Truth About Fretting Few things undermine a leader’s effectiveness more than FRETTING! Yet the state of being bothered, worried, or anxious seems to increase as we are bombarded increasingly with news and personal situations that directly impact our moral sensibilities. Not only has there been an escalation of incredibly troubling world events, but it…

Dying to Lead By Dr. Rob McKenna
The Decision to Lead Like Christ It’s tough when you lead to selling an idea that suggests outcomes don’t come first, that the survival of your organization isn’t priority number one, and that preservation, profitability, meaning, self-actualization, happiness, confidence, and results aren’t the point. That’s a tough sell. If the concept of sacrificing yourself as…
