Pride is all about self
There is nothing of God in your pride or self-professed righteousness. Pride is all about what you want for yourself, what you like for yourself, what you do for yourself and any other self-seeking pleasures you decide to pursue (for yourself). There is no room for God in this scenario because there is no roomContinueContinue reading “Pride is all about self”
Pride of sin
I’ve been wanting to do a series on pride for months now. The desire was particularly strong during Pride month when it struck me how proud people are of the sins they commit against themselves and against God. So proud, in fact, that they not only justify the sin, they celebrate it. This is not anContinueContinue reading “Pride of sin”

He assured them that the process of talking through the problem would yield perspectives and solutions that the solo person neverContinueContinue reading “A Taste of Partnership”
Man & Wife = Leadership & Management
So, the above six words have been with me for over a month. When they first came together in mind, I realized I had finally hit upon the approach for my two companion books-in-progress: The Worker: A Man of God and The Helper: A Woman of God. They are two books that are really oneContinueContinue reading “Man & Wife = Leadership & Management”

If you can’t move your mountain…
During a conversation with a friend recently, she mentioned how difficult it was to move the mountains in her life. My response: “if you can’t move your mountain, beautify it.” It was an automatic response. We both laughed. And we both pondered it. I’m still pondering…. I’ve learned that heavy lifting of any sort -ContinueContinue reading “If you can’t move your mountain…”
Film: SAMSARA
This week I saw an amazing collection of cinemagraphic photography set to a beautiful soundtrack of music from around the world in the film Samsara. Samsāra, literally meaning “continuous flow”, is the repeating cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth (reincarnation) within Hinduism, Buddhism, Bön, Jainism, Yoga and Sikhism. In popular use, Samsara may referContinueContinue reading “Film: SAMSARA”
