What’s Holding You Back?

Believers today face a number of unique challenges where it comes to really reaching out for and achieving success. Religious training has, unfortunately, not done us any favors along these lines… something we’ve talked about repeatedly here. But today I want to bring up one of the challenges that all of us face. This nasty [...]

You’ve Been Called and Equipped by God

Bezalel is my hero. Well… one of them. Aholiab, too. You may not remember their names. Chances are, you’ve never heard a sermon preached on them or even a Sunday School lesson that does anything more than mention them casually (if at all) when plowing through the Old Testament. But what God says about these [...]

Staying Anchored & Fluid in Times of Change

The past decade has been full of change. Marking the 10th anniversary of 9/11 really provided an opportunity to look back and see just how much things have changed… and how much faster they continue to change. From a business perspective, failure to adapt is deadly. This places tremendous demands on each of us personally [...]

If God is For You…

It’s really an easy concept to wrap your head around: with the Creator of the universe — the all-supreme Ruler — on your side… who or what could really stand against you? The big problem seems to come from that little tiny, 2-letter word: “If.”

Power to Be Offensive

Recently, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to why more believers aren’t successful financially and in business. Since I work every day with business owners on growing their businesses, I’m constantly confronted with this subject. And the longer I live, the more convinced I am that business and financial success is almost entirely internal. By that I mean that our mindsets and our thinking control our outcomes.

How to Have an Extraordinary 2011

It may seem a little late to say, “Happy New Year!’ but this is our first communication so far this year, so I want you to know I am personally praying for you to have an exceptional year. How’s it going so far? Have you gone through the exercise of taking time to re-evaluate where [...]

The Root of All Evil

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. (1 Timothy 6:10 NKJV) In previous articles here, we’ve talked about the inner struggle that some of us face — particularly those who have [...]

7 Shocking Ideas from the Bible… About Money

This is probably going to be controversial. Any time “the Bible” and “money” show up together, all kinds of feathers get ruffled. But you know what? I’m tired of God’s people not having enough money. And I’m willing to stir up a hornet’s nest if necessary and even shake you up a little bit if I [...]

You’re a Firework… and It’s Time to Explode!

Regardless of what is going on around you today, I have something burning in my heart that I believe God wants me to share with you: you’re amazing! God has placed giftings, abilities, and passion in you that the world is waiting… longing… yearning to see! In fact, the world is in desperate need of [...]
