We all tend to turn to a friend for advice about a problem at one time or another. We express our concerns or frustrations. We might share how we’ve analyzed it and tried to figure it out on our own. We hope they will present a solution that we haven’t…
We are blessed to be a blessing. Don’t be that person that hoards all of their money, only takes care of themselves and never serves anyone else. Maybe you visit people in prison or maybe you have the gift of hospitality, or administration, whatever your gift, make sure you are…
When our church began growing (think about your family or business), I had to adapt. I took down pictures of what used to be. I painted the walls black. I went on TV and didn’t ask for money. The church bought one campus and then another and then another and…
Just 40 years ago, we had a newspaper to read in the morning, three channels to watch on television, we had a few billboards and magazines. Now we have exponentially more options that compete for our time. We have smartphones that put dumb distractions at our fingertips, hundreds of channels…
