Governing God's Way with Dorothy Burton

There are two systems at work: the system of governance, established by God, and the system of politics, influenced and controlled by the god of this world. Sadly, he is using God's people to his advantage, to the detriment of us all.

Because workplace and professional jealousy is real.

Take Daniel, for example—he made enemies at work not because he did anything wrong, but because he stood for what was right and excelled in his role. The same can happen to you.

When you begin to rise and excel, some coworkers may look for ways to undermine you, spread false accusations, or attack your character. When they can't find fault in who you are, they may resort to lies to discredit what you do.

How should you handle professional jealousy in a way that honors God and cause you to come out not just on top, but promoted? Let's learn from Daniel.

Indecisiveness can carry serious personal, professional, and relational consequences. True leaders, however, embrace the challenge of making tough decisions. The defining trait of every great leader throughout history is their unwavering ability to choose a course of action and move forward with confidence.

The story of Nabal, David, and Abigail in 1 Samuel 25 offers valuable lessons in leadership, relationships, and conflict resolution. It highlights the importance of listening, learning, and avoiding costly, emotionally-driven mistakes—errors that, in today’s social media-driven world, can mean the difference between a flourishing career and one ending in disgrace.

Dear Leader:

I come with a simple but profound message meant to lift you up if you’re weighed down by guilt, shame, or regret...

A conversation with former U.S. Congressman Alan Steelman (R-TX) and Republicans for Harris.

This is a unique opportunity for our listeners to explore an unprecedented development in presidential races: influential members of one party coming together to support and endorse a candidate from the opposing party. This extraordinary occurrence is a hallmark of an exceptional election cycle.

Our government, our country are facing challenges because many of us aren't living in alignment with God's principles.

Not the gays. Not the transgenders -- those who proudly call themselves "Christians."

Whether we identify as Evangelicals, New Evangelicals, or belong to any denomination—Baptist, Methodist, Holiness, Non-Denominational, or others—we've drifted from the teachings of Jesus.

Real change can only happen when we, as God's people, commit to realigning ourselves with Him.

The divisiveness, name-calling, and hostility we've adopted, along with our tendency to prioritize political identities over our identity in Christ, only deepen the divide.

America is struggling and moving down a concerning path, and as followers of Christ, we are called to be the light that illuminates the way. Yet, it often feels like the church is hindering that mission.

We need to take a step back, reflect, and return to God with humility. This isn't about aligning with a specific religious or political agenda; it’s about placing God's Kingdom at the forefront of our lives.

It’s time for those of us who recognize this truth to take action and lead by example. Instead of being the example for stumbling blocks.

The Kingdom of Heaven is a place.

The Kingdom of God is not. It is the rulership or principles of God applied to what you're facing.

Jesus said, "seek ye first, the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness....

He is not talking about "a place." But the principles, the "rulership of God"...

For God’s purposes, God sometimes permits Satan to attack us.

But the fix is in and Satan cannot win over you. He attacks four areas and causes hell and misery to break out in our life:

Livelihood (i.e., finances)

Family

Health

Reputation.

If you are being challenged in any or perhaps all of these four areas right now it is not a run of bad luck.

These are targets to bring us down or take us out – what you need to know to fight back and recover.
