Fridays' Kingdom POWER posts consider lessons we can learn from leaders facing some level of persecution, and resources we can access, to help us all lead more impactfully for Christ in an increasingly challenging marketplace. It didn't occur to me until today that one of the richest sources of empowerment in the face of persecution...
My Friday blogs are about Power. But not just any power... Kingdom POWER -- the kind of Power it takes to advance the Lord's Kingdom on earth. Jesus taught what we have come to call The Golden Rule. "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you." (Matthew 7:12). In stark...
This day represents Kingdom POWER like no other day. Because we can't fully appreciate the Wonder and Joy of Easter Sunday without passing through The Glorious and Gruesome Cross of Good Friday. The Powerful Cross -- where Jesus Christ paid the death penalty we all deserved. So that we all might be given the Gift...
Wednesday's Kingdom PERSECUTION blog addressed a current case in Kentucky. Today's Kingdom POWER case also occurred in Kentucky. It concerns ministry in the marketplace (from an employment perspective). And it signals the potential impact of post-Christian culture (and/or Christian witness) on generations to come. Martin Gaskell was a leading candidate to be the founding director...
It's one of our offensive weapons in spiritual warfare. Spirit-led, Spirit-empowered prayer. "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." (Ephesians 6:18) Sometimes we find prayer in the most unexpected places. Like when it's built into the infrastructure of one of the world's most luxurious hotel chains. Horst Schulze...
How is Kingdom POWER exercised in the highest eschelons of corporate leadership? Remember that resource I recommended in Monday's post -- Faith in the Halls of Power: How Evangelicals Joined the American Elite? See https://championsofdestiny.com/christian-elites-corporate-pyramids/ My own copy arrived yesterday... and already, I have found some very interesting reading. Like how Evangelical business leaders are...
The healthcare sector is arguably the largest employer in our economy, through both public institutions and private companies. As such, a major recent shift in the public sector is worthy noting. On January 18, 2018, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) created a new division in its Office of Civil Rights. The...
Remember that resource I cited last week -- the one I had ordered, but hadn't yet received? It's here now. I'm only in Chapter 3. But already I'm believing this may be one of the most POWERFUL tools I will ever recommend. Are you a fellow Christian business owner committed to advancing God's Kingdom through...
I had asked the Lord yesterday what He wanted me to share today in this post about Kingdom POWER. Why was I not surprised when, just moments later, He answered my question? :) I had been in a meeting with a Forever Sister-in-Christ. One I was meeting face-to-face for the first time, after she had...
We have all heard that often-quoted "truism" -- "It isn't what you know, it's who you know." In other words, the secret to success lies in aligning yourself with those who have POWER. And if you can actually partner with them... so much the better. Right? In this case, nothing could be more RIGHT! You'll be...
