Why not reduce the critical events of your life to their foundations? It isn’t so much what the events were as it is why they came about in the first place. We all need a biography of worldview since our choices in life will probably continue on the same path as they always have unless…
We are probably familiar with the often-mentioned human resources axiom: The response you are getting from employees is exactly what your current message is motivating and rewarding. We recognize this law of human performance when it comes to addressing questions of product promotion, compensation or market mix. But many times we fail to…
Annas paced back and forth but it didn’t seem to help. His back hurt. It was that particular lower back pain that came whenever he felt really tense. Even in the cold of the night, he felt the trickle of perspiration on the back of his neck. Annas is mad. Really mad. In fact, if…

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness” Matt. 6:33 Now we know that the word translated kingdom comes from the Greek basileia. We know that God establishes His kingdom through His own personal announcement – another creation spoken into existence. Human agency is not part of this creation. It is God’s plan…
