Is Money Evil?

Saving money is a wise action as long as it does not come from a place of greed. Saving money for an emergency, to make a specific purchase, or even wealth building is not an evil act. It is actually more biblical than going into debt which our society seems to have little to no problem with doing.

Three Things That Make Me Feel Totally Alive

My God-given life purpose gives me direction so I do not have to waste time wondering about what I'm supposed to do or what direction I'm supposed to go. This is already predetermined. One of the most freeing aspects of my life is that I know specifically why I am here on this earth.

March Madness That Never Ends

Just like John Calipari (or any other college coach that recruits players) chooses to recruit specific players for the University of Kentucky, Jesus has specifically chosen me. I am on his team and he is my coach. We may lose a game from time to time (because of my play) but we are destined to win the championship (because of His leadership). That is a March Madness that never ends.

How Your Personality Affects the Decisions You Make

Just to be clear, we need all four styles of decision making to run churches, organizations, and even families at their optimal level. Great minds do not think alike, but they do think together. We need to appreciate and work with each other’s decision-making style so together we can better reach our God-given potential.

The Shack: A Study in Theology Pleasantly Disguised as a Movie

"The Shack" gives us a study of the Trinity, redemption, forgiveness, judgment, the relationship between God and humans, etc. I am not saying I fully agree with everything the movie may have taught about these subjects. To be honest, I do not agree with everything I hear taught in a typical church Bible study about these subjects, either.

How to Drastically Improve Your Communication

We must be aware of our own communication tendencies as well as the communication tendencies of others. Leaders will make the proper adjustments in their own communication. While some people, who refused to adjust their communication, will just complain that nobody understands them.
