Transitions from one part of life to another is never easy. People are resistant to change and are quick to defend against change. Israel went through such a transition. After 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, an entire generation passed away. God raised up a new leader, Joshua, to take over where Moses leftContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#23)”

Scripture Reading Challenge (#22)
One of the greatest strengths of the Bible is that difficult passages are not hidden. Our life is filled with complexity and God’s Scripture faces it with His grace and wisdom. I am thankful for that as it gives hope and guidance. If it some of it’s teachings are hard to understand and hard toContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#22)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#18)
One of my favorite stories is the Chronicles of Narnia. In The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the children are talking about the Christ-like figure, Aslan the Lion. The conversation goes, “Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion.” “Ooh,” said Susan. “I’d thought he was a man. Is he quite safe? IContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#18)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#3)
We take a little bit of a leap forward to get the big picture of the Bible. In between our previous passage and today’s reading, is a lot of sin. In those chapters, we find brother murdering brother and a growing contempt for God. Sin multiplies, and we see God move to cleanse the world. Grace,Continue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#3)”
Is anything too hard for the Lord?
“Is any thing too hard for the LORD?” -Genesis 18:14 “Ye Lord God! behold, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for Thee.” — Jeremiah 32:17 “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” The opening question is rhetorical in nature.Continue reading “Is anything too hard for the Lord?”
Christian Planning
The default Christian mixture of planning minimizes the role of people and lifts up our dependence on the leading of God. The problem is when those that are carnal find themselves in positions of leadership and espouse a spirituality that is a cover up for a laissez-faire attitude toward any type of preparation and planning.Continue reading “Christian Planning”

Nehemiah – God’s Change Agent (Ch. 7)
After the walls of Jerusalem had been rebuilt, Nehemiah continued working to organize the people. A vast majority of the chapter concerns a census of citizens based on a genealogy of those who first came out of exile (7:6-69). However, a quick lesson that we learn for leadership is that families matter. Now that the restorationContinue reading “Nehemiah – God’s Change Agent (Ch. 7)”
Nehemiah – God’s Change Agent (Ch. 6)
A person with integrity is seen as moral upright, whole, and undivided in ability. Integrity in one sense deals with truth telling. It is then displayed by people when they attempt to be consistent and cohesive in thinking and behavior. Service is also proposed as an integral component to a leader’s integrity. The consistency andContinue reading “Nehemiah – God’s Change Agent (Ch. 6)”
Nehemiah – God’s Change Agent (Ch. 5)
In the previous chapter, we saw how Nehemiah and God’s work was challenged by outside forces. What happens, however, when the work of God is restrained by problems inside the organization? Chapter five gives us a glimpse of this issue from the viewpoint of interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts. What are those? These words describe theContinue reading “Nehemiah – God’s Change Agent (Ch. 5)”
