  • Why Does Church Feel Like God is Wasting My Time?

    Do you feel like church is letting you down?  Or, could it be argued that you are letting down the church?  You see, just as we have expectations of church, the church, and biblically so, has its expectations of us as well.  When you get both sides of the story, who is failing who?

  • The Value of Being Cheaply Entertained

    Being a single-income family living in a very expensive city, we have come to depend on–and enjoy–our ability to be cheaply entertained.  Which, has not only saved us money but has provided many necessary benefits.  It makes the times we do spend a little money so much more enjoyable, because it’s special, and has also helped us realize that we don’t need to really spend any money to have valuable, meaningful time together.

  • Find the Work You Love or Love the Work You Find

    It seems reasonable that we should intend to work toward something.  But I find it difficult to strike a balance between being patient and being in pursuit.  To prevent myself from heading off into something I might later regret, I tend to error on the side of patience; that God would eventually lead me to what it is I should be doing.

  • Humility Can Lead to the Greatest Things

    One only need to consider the leadership in the founding of our country to have a sufficient example of this.

    It may not initially look great.  And in most cases, it won’t feel great.  But you can not miss the greatness of the outcome.

    What do you think of the idea that it is possible to be greater still by being humble?

  • Can Quitting Make You a Better Man?
    Being wise is a way of life.  And because even the subtle things in our lives can be the villain (i.e. coffee), the process of becoming wise is about applying basic forensics.  Examine the evidence.  Make the right decision based on that evidence. It could mean that you may need to quit to win.

  • Want to Be a Good Leader, Learn to Learn
    Good news: we’re all leaders. Bad news: we’re all leaders.  I wonder if half the battle is just accepting that fact.  We’re all influencers and motivators of good, or bad.  No two ways about it.  But the choice is ours.
    In order to be a good leader, we will also need to commit to being a good learner.

  • Be Anxious For Nothing And No Faking It
    It should be clear to us that there is no way we could expect to live a life free of anxiety.  It can happen at any point of our day–even on the best day.  So accepting that, what can we do about it?  We are told not to be anxious, and there is no good reason to be, so why do we still do it?!

  • How Can We Avoid Being Just a Person of Success
    Do we really need more successful people?  Careful that you answer the right question.  I didn’t ask whether or not the world needs more people that are successful.  The question is whether or not we need more people who are successful at being–that is, successfully living rightly.

  • Impress, to be Impressive?
    I am reminded of Stephen Covey’s principle of ‘beginning with the end in mind.’  There is certainly nothing wrong with wanting to make a good first impression.  But should we instead look at making the right impression, as that will serve as the basis for a long-term, mutually beneficial future relationship?

  • Temptation, a Growth Strategy?
    While we need to have a healthy understanding of temptation, the growth comes not from having avoided it, but in how we trust God to effectively respond to it.
    Being in possession of the truth allows us to hoist our shield and back away as necessary.
