I Have A Centenarian In My Family!
On Tuesday, November 1, 2011 my great aunt turns 100 years old. Congratulations Aunt Hope. Today, at her church she was honored and rightly so. However, sitting there in the church pew my mind reflected on the legacy she has left behind. You see, she totally sold out to the Lord from the moment of her conversion at age 15. She never married but instead married the Lord. The ministry that God entrusted to her involved both pastoral... Read More
What about Christian Dating sites?
For a few years now I have run a christian dating site at http://www.christiandatingreviews.net I’m now at the place where I am challenging the propriety of this model of finding God’s mate for you for life. Whilst sites like this narrow the field, so to speak, and provide an escape from the many mainstream dating sites, christian dating sites are not devoid of their own challenges. Are... Read More
Do You Want To Strengthen Your Family?!
So often we hire or pay for services from professionals to assist us in our lives, to help solve our problems, or to help us through a challenge or calamity. We also spend thousands of dollars in the process! What if there was a way that you could access a myriad of professionals from the comfort of your home, on demand, for a fraction of the cost. I have been recently introduced to a wonderful... Read More
Sunday School Is Important!
Hey guys, just got back from our church conference’s annual Sunday School meeting. Got me reflecting on how important it is to train up our kids, young men and young men in the way that they should go. Sunday School has been such a big part of my own spiritual development that it is hard to know where I would be in this life had it not been for the faithful and committed teachers of Sunday School....

Press On Towards The Mark
The Christian’s Present (Phillipians 3:12–16) The figure of a runner is a favorite with Paul (see 1 Cor. 9:25–27; 1 Thes. 2:19–20; Heb. 12:1–3; 2 Tim. 2:5). Of course, Paul is not suggesting that we run to get to heaven! The Olympic runners in ancient Greece had to be citizens of the nation they represented. They also had to be free men, not slaves. The unsaved sinner is a slave, but the... Read More
Becoming A Reproducing Leader
I haphazardly picked up my copy of John Maxwell’s The 21 Most Important Minutes In a Leader’s Day. John asks a simple question: “If you were to reproduce yourself in another leader, would you be satisfied with the results?” This has been a rather thought-provoking question in my mind. To look at it another way, if you were doing your own leadership evaluation, how would you... Read More
Applying the Ten Commandments to Life in Business
Have you ever considered how the 10 Commandments as found in Exodus 20 could apply to business today? I suggest that each one could have a dramatic effect on you as a leader, business person, and mentor. Individually… 1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Do you put Christ first in all you do? One of the most common pitfalls for Christian entrepreneurs is allowing their work to become... Read More
