Sometimes, I have no clue about what I'm going to write until I sit down at my computer. Like today, when I am to write about Kingdom POWER... and consider what we can learn from Christian business owners who are seeking to reflect His Light in the marketplace. This morning, as I prayed about Kingdom...
I heard from a dear brother-in-Christ today. Friday -- the day I post about lessons we can learn from godly, courageous leaders and resources we can access. To help us mobilize Kingdom POWER as we face our increasingly challenging, post-Christian culture. Maybe I should call this Fire-Up Friday. Because, as a result of what my dear...
Storms come in all shapes and sizes. Some are natural... like the hurricanes that hit my Florida home last fall. Others are supernatural... like those that are revealed whenever our Religious Liberty is challenged. My Friday posts center around lessons and/or resources we can all access to strengten our Kingdom POWER in the face of...
Most of us are beginning our New Year as we always do -- determining our priorities for the coming year and establishing our goals and plans to bring those priorities to fruition. It's a time of considering possibilities and harnessing opportunities to become more effective and impactful. And it occurs to me... How can we...
It's Kingdom POWER day. And how I'm feeling reminds me of one of the deepest Truths about Kingdom POWER... "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9) That intestinal bug I was exposed to 10 days ago finally caught up with me. I have literally spent the...
Efforts to remove Christian references from both public and private arenas seem to occur with increasing frequency. Such attempts at censorship can occur to both business owners and employees. Positional power may or may not be present to help Christians regain any "voice" they may lose to censorship. So, if Kingdom POWER is what we...
Many of the attacks on religious liberty begin (or end up) in the legal arena. Where aggressors are often well-funded, in many cases by tax dollars. Ironically, from many taxpayers who would disagree with such use of their money, if they knew its purpose. Even the threat of this legal action instills fear in many...
On Kingdom POWER Friday, we seek to glean lessons from battle-tested business leaders who are seeking to impact the marketplace for Christ. Monday's profile introduced Chic-fil-A (https://championsofdestiny.com/wheres-the-beef-not-here/). Today, I note the 2012 firestorm it faced. (See https://www.snopes.com/politics/sexuality/chickfila.asp for documentation of the following events). Chic-fil-A is run by devout Christians. Its president, Dan Cathy, affirmed -- in...
When Jesus was alive, He was a Redemptive Change Agent in an increasingly challenging world. A transformational Leader who refused to just "go with the flow" of a culture that dismissed (and even came to despise) Him and all He held dear. He held fast to His Purpose. He was anchored... in the Rock of Ages....
Christians are called to be world-changers... for Christ. Leading and loving people to Jesus. Living in ways that honor and please Him. But American culture is flowing powerfully in the opposite direction. So how do we stand firm AND advance His Purposes against that flow? By Powering Up. With the Power that is above every...
