Not many people like to be "sold" something, or enjoy being approached by someone who is always "selling". We know those folks, who to their credit are fearless in their pursuit, but their boldness almost always comes off as pushy and insincere. I remember early in my career, I had to make "cold calls".

Amidst The Rubble
Once we are saved by Jesus Christ, we receive new life. A transformation of the heart, mind and soul begins to take place. The people, places, and pleasures that once entranced our attentions begin to fade, and new desires slowly arise, as if they are clearing from the fog that once clouded our heart. Yet, …
Make Waves
The world loves winners - being first is the name of the game, and in an effort to win, countless hours are invested in training, practicing, enduring, persevering, and aspiring. It requires an all consuming focus and intensity to be number one and remain a winner. As much effort as we put into winning at …
Work Weary?
There's a powerful proverb that says, "do not wear yourself out with work". Yet, so many of us do quite the opposite. Often times this is because we get caught by the subtle trap of working for man rather than God. I know I did. This can be an easy distraction for us to fall …
Can’t Take It With You
So often we can live like nothing else matters but our career. We plan for it most of our life. Sacrifice time for it. Move around the globe for it - willing to leave almost anything for it. Clearly, our careers and what we do for a living is important, but our careers are not …

“Yearnings Versus Earnings”
There's a bumper sticker that reads, "I'm starving on the salary I once dreamed of". Funny how that can happen - I see it all the time. People yearning for more, eventually earning more, and then being no better off than they were before financially, because they continue to spend every penny. In fact, their …
The Surrender Adventure
Can genuine believers in Jesus Christ be saved yet still live worldly? Only God knows our hearts, but I do know I did not fully experience the peace and abundant life Jesus promises believers until I committed to surrendering my mind, heart, and daily life to Him. I was "a believer", but did not choose …
Getting Out Of Our Own Way
As the saying goes, our worst enemy is often ourself. For example, whenever we allow pride, envy, greed, worry, and insecurities to get their way in our hearts, the long term results never end well. I know that's definitely true for me. These things disrupt our relationships, families, careers, churches, and the list goes on …
