Who Are Your Heroes?
Ask my children who their heroes are and I fear they would speak of a cartoon superhero or sports figure. My prayer is that answer would change one day as they grow spiritually and see the man their father is and learn of other missionaries and spiritual leaders who have impacted the world for Christ. […]
Who Are You When No One Is Looking?
No matter how gifted you are, or what talents you possess, no highly developed leadership skills make up for a lack of character. Without strong character everything will eventually come crashing down. Dr. Henry Cloud says who a person is will ultimately determine if their brains, talents, competencies, energy, effort, deal-making abilities and opportunities will […]
Character vs. Compromise
Before marriage and children I enjoyed posting quotes on my frig. One of my favorite by Chuck Swindoll…Integrity is keeping your commitment even when the circumstances surrounding the commitment have changed. Circumstances are a crossroads that make a person choose one of two paths: character or compromise. Every time we choose the character path we […]
Are You Headed Toward A Fall?
Yesterday I blogged about lessons we can learn from the fall of Pastor Gary Lamb of Revolution church. Today I thought about a conversation I had several years ago with John Maxwell, at the time Sr. Pastor of Skyline Church in San Diego. We were discussing moral failure and he stated that the root of this […]
Top 10 Lessons We Can Learn From A Fallen Pastor
Today I am saddened to hear of another pastor who has fallen morally. I did not know Gary Lamb personally but have felt connected to him because he is a church planting pastor who blogs and twitters. Because of his success he has spoken at church conferences. According to his confession letter which was posted on […]
#1 Key To Everything
I have become one of those people who enjoys having 5-10 minutes to wake up before I actually get out of bed each morning. An alarm is usually not necessary for me but I use one anyway. Since receiving a Blackberry from Todd on Valentine’s Day, this is what I use. As soon as […]
Has Your Church Forgotten Their Purpose?
We have two local hospitals close to where I live. Not to mention the scattered medical offices throughout the city. Raising two boys who have spent many hours at the ER motivates me to be aware of the shortest routes to receive medical help. Can you imagine going to the hospital and finding out that […]
The Principle of Empowerment
This morning in my quiet time with the Lord I read the book of Nahum. It is a small book but teaches us a big lesson about leadership. No matter how much power you accumulate, it will never compensate for failure with God. The Ninevites seem to have it all but leadership without spiritual success […]
Transformational Leadership
Jesus was the greatest leader in the history of the world. His model of leadership empowers. When we look at Jesus we will be motivated to ask what kind of leader we are. If I have false ideas of my strength, Jesus will expose my incompetence. When I feel totally beyond what I am capable of, he provides for me […]
The Temptation To Be A Superhero
Matthew and Aaron love superhero cartoons, movies and action figures. They had superman tshirts, swimwear and even underwear. At their request I decorated one bedroom in Spiderman and one in Justice League. Whether you have boys or even if you have not had children, I believe everyone enjoys seeing a good guy come in and […]
