Leaders are meant to be problem solvers. Consider that every successful leadership organization in the world is lucrative BECAUSE they Found A Problem And Solved It. I have watched more than one organization or person allow the problems of their lives to stay hidden. This eventually cracks their foundation and…
How would you feel if your child or a friend made a mistake and then decided that because he had made a mistake, he never wanted to talk to you again? I hear people say, “I don’t talk to God because I feel like he’s mad at me.” They have…
Do you pray in the morning? You probably assume that since I’m a pastor, I am automatically PRO-prayer! But what if I told you, with 100% honesty, that the POWER OF PRAYER is the thing you might be missing that will CATAPULT you to where you want to be? Prayer…
Some people say that the Bible is no longer relevant. If we look at history, we’ll see human behaviors that span across time, and that makes the Bible timeless. The Bible tells us what to do, why, and how, and one area we receive guidance is in passing judgment. Judge…
