And Preventing the Slippery Slope of False Doctrine. Is the experience of Christianity becoming more important than the foundations of Christianity? The more I watch and read about Christianity and the global church, the more I struggle to see Christians holding fast to Biblical truth and standing firm on doctrinal integrity. More and more, spiritual discussions…
Communicating With Our Church: Part 1 At ChurchLeadership.org, I found a definition of sorts regarding communication in the church by Dr. Richard J. Krejcir: “Communicating productively is one of the most important skills in life and in a good church. Effective communication is being willing to convey our honest thoughts, attitudes, feelings, and actions to…
PAUL: THE LEADING CHOLERIC Two things come to end today. First, we end our week-long study of the Apostle Paul. But second, we end our month-long post-series, “Leaders Are Everywhere: God can use anyone, from anywhere, to do anything.“ To recap, we looked at 4 Biblical leaders over 4 weeks: MOSES: The Analytical Melancholy ABRAHAM:…
PETER: The Expressive Sanguine We’ve been working our way through this series on Biblical Leadership, under the title, “Leaders Are Everywhere”. We’ve been looking at a different Biblical leader each week, and this week our focus is Peter. And today, we’re going to focus in particular on Peter’s background. I want to take a look…
From Ritalin to Reaching the Lost I’m a talker. I’ve been a talker my whole life. I checked with my mom this week and according to her, I said my first word “dog” at 10 months. By 15 months I could state the names of extended family, like Uncle _______, Auntie _______, etc. I could say…
ABRAHAM: The Dependable Phlegmatic Like every Biblical leader, we see certain characteristics and personality traits as we explore the Scriptures. As we walk through the chapters of Genesis written about Abraham, we see a dependable, yet phlegmatic nature in his words and actions. When he’s focused on God‘s plan and purpose, we see these dependable moments….
MOSES: The Analytical Melancholy We’ve been unpacking the Biblical leadership of Moses all week: First, we looked at The Life of Moses: An Overview By Stephen, then we spent some time Analysing the Analytical Mind of Moses, then we took A Melancholy Moment with Moses. Today, we wrap up our focus on Moses. Moses was just like you…
MOSES: The Analytical Melancholy Earlier this week, we discussed Moses‘ incredible intelligence in a post titled, “Analysing the Analytical Mind of Moses“. Today we explore the flip side of his character profile. Even though Moses was an excellent analytic, it is also believed that he had some melancholy tendencies. These two traits are often connected….
MOSES: The Analytical Melancholy Over the next 4 weeks, we’ll be exploring the life and leadership of 4 Biblical characters. (Click HERE to find out more about this series.) This week, we’ll be concentrating on Moses, the Analytical Melancholy. As many of you know, the Scriptural account of Moses is extensive to see the least. Not just…
God can use anyone, from anywhere, to do anything. Perhaps you hear this statement and think to yourself, “Leaders may be everywhere, but I’m not one of them!” If this is your reply, then I’d have to disagree with you. In your community, you likely have teachers and administrators, politicians and chairpersons, managers and journeymen,…
What I’ve learned this year. It left as quick as it came; another season of camp ministry. This morning, as I leave my post as Camp Director and step back into my pastoral role, it’s time to reflect a bit on the past month of ministry. As I reflect, numerous thoughts and memories flood my mind. And…
Sometimes we lose our way. As Believers, when we first hear God’s call to do or be something more significant, it feels so right. More times than not, a call from God is selfless and centred on eternal perspectives. Sure, looking down the road, the calling is always a little foggy, but we know the destination is there…
