THE PURPOSE
To build faith, and bring comfort, hope, and encouragement to people in all different walks of life.
Seek wisdom and understanding before making life altering decisions. God wants the best for our lives.
Faith is something that needs to be fed. Faith is what causes us to make decisions that oppose unbelief, fear, carnal desires, emotions, and cultural deceptions.
The church is how Jesus calls us, gathers us and prepares us for His return. It is the most important thing happening on the earth.
There will be many voices throughout your life calling to you and trying to gain your allegiance.
God deliberately seeks out those who have loyal hearts, and He rewards them for it.
Leaders must have patience and overwhelming love for those they are called to mentor and equip.
When you as a leader see something that is outright hurtful to the life of a person, or hear of sin in the camp, you must act.
Along with other important requirements, God requires leaders in His organization, the church, to be hospitable.
Setting your priorities on a to- do list is greatly beneficial to your productivity and efficiency for the day ahead.
If married, your marriage must come first. It must be a priority.
Physical health is connected to emotional and spiritual health and a leader’s ability to help others.
You cannot pinpoint what you are sensing and feeling, but you know something is concerning you. This is discernment. The Holy Spirit within you is speaking and guiding.
Little things can be just as important as big things. Little things speak greatly of the magnitude of care and concern.
Great leaders value people. There is no person on earth that does not need to know they are valued.
A good leader knows the importance of identifying the unique gifts, talents and personality given to every person by God.
A Christian leader should desire to be inspired by the Holy Spirit and lead others through godly inspiration.
It is easy to identify what is really important to a person. Whatever our lives revolve around is what we will truly focus on, invest in, work on, and find our identity.
When confusion, fear and anxiety begin to combat divine order, faith, and peace, you are likely experiencing spiritual warfare.
Boundaries, accountability, delegation, prayer, worship, rest and Holy Spirit renewal, are all protective and necessary disciplines in the life of a Christian leader.
Faith is the substance God uses to do His work, but it is often connected to our work. God blesses the work of our hands. He blesses productivity.
Even though money is the primary currency of debt, debt can also be emotional and spiritual depletion.
In the busy world of life, and even ministry, we must stop to experience the Power of Stillness.
A leader’s attitude towards team members has an incredible impact upon on the entire work environment and customer experience.
Give your limitations to Him, put Jesus first and trust in His Word for every decision you make.
Leaders must be wise and restrained in the words they use. A leader is in a consequential position to either built up or tear down.
Being a leader and being a manager are two different things, but both are needed for success in any organization, including family.
It's important for leaders to be wise and to understand it is wisdom that builds God's house and your own house as well.
If you do not deal with temptation it will lead you down a dark path and will seek to destroy you, your family, your church and your leadership.
Our love for the LORD should motivate us to serve God with excellence.
God wants you to have a vision for your life, for your now and future. Vision is seeing what God sees.
One of the greatest lessons you can teach your children is they are not alone. They can ask God to be with them throughout the day.
Laughter is necessary and beneficial to our health, just like food and water.
Matching the desires of a parent to the purposes of God for their child(ren) should always be a goal.
Speaking harshly to a child, degrading them, screaming and losing control as an adult, either verbally or physically, is not discipline.
We are living in a world that is pressuring parents to allow secular culture to raise their children.
Strong willed children usually need more parental focus, time and attention.
You will make a first impression of a person by their manners, how they greet you, respond to you, treat you, and behave in general.
Your challenge as a parent is learning the dynamics of your family and what makes each child tick.
A child’s obstinance and resistance is no reason to give in to improper behavior. Forceful compliance is a necessity when a child is young.
A parent’s role and goal is to raise well disciplined, respectful and godly children.
It is amazing how your children will hear everything you say as a parent, which means they are hearing everything around them.
The Bible clearly teaches children must obey their parents, which means parents must be able to direct their children.
You have to answer yes, no, or maybe, and your response may be detrimental to your child’s well being. So think before you speak!
A child will be deeply impacted by who is caring and educating them, and by what they are being taught.
Some parents feel like they are failing because of the challenges of dealing with the attitude and behavior of a strong-willed child.
A parent’s role in helping a child to understand their feelings when it comes to sexuality is an important aspect of parenting.
Making positive memories with our children is what they will carry into adulthood. Memories are the fabric of life and family.
The engineering of friendships is crucial to everyone’s spiritual, emotional, psychological and even physical well-being.
A parent must be very involved in making good decisions for their children and acquire the wisdom to do so.
“Let’s talk” may be two of the most important words you say to your child(ren). Your child needs to hear your voice even when you are not physically present.
You must be forceful, diligent and persistent in screening and approving not only what enters into your child’s soul through their eye and ear gates.
The Bible teaches a parent must exercise authority and discipline in order to raise secure and successful children.
Every child is a gift from God and a unique person from birth.
Do not carry baggage into parenting. As adults, we can all look back and critique a parent’s right decisions, wrong decisions, good parenting and bad parenting.
You must get and stay healthy. Your kids need the best of you. Healthy children come from healthy parents.
One of the most important tips for parenting is knowing it is a parent’s responsibility to instruct and raise their child(ren). No one else!
