I’m going to make a comparison in this blog. When I do, I don’t want you to over-rotate and suppose I’m suggesting women cannot be independent business owners who hold the rightful title of “President” or “Chief Executive Officer (CEO)”, or even both. What I would like you to consider is how the Bible describes […]

“No” is just a harmless expression, a necessary convention in the English language. Its use is often avoided, but shouldn’t be, because people nowadays are hyper-triggered by not getting what they want. We need to flip the script. I suppose our opposition to being told “no” begins at a very early age, doesn’t it? For

Suppose you’re back in high school and the final assignment for your English Composition class is a biography you are to write about someone deceased who lived in the last century. Your neighbor’s dad was quite famous, especially overseas, where he had a smash record album that topped the charts back in 1977. You’re a

In America, entitlement is a cancer. We only have ourselves to blame. As technology has made life much easier over time, days filled with hard labor are increasingly becoming a thing of the past (I just heard a non-politician world leader say that with the rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) people may soon live

The Bible demands that we children of God hold each other accountable. I recently preached an entire series on this topic titled Commitment, Responsibility, and Accountability To the Local Church that expanded on how this accountability is critical to the health of a church, which has been designed by God to bring glory to Him.
