It's not about making a point…let's make a difference

Servant Leadership Versus Entitlement

With what seems like a society spinning out of control, I wonder what has happened to the kind and gentle society I grew up in? I believe it’s still there, but has been pushed to the back by spectacular news of the latest variety.

As we walk through our daily lives we are given opportunities to be kind to those around us. As Christ followers, what greater example can we be than to show kindness when today’s society would dictate other wise?

God Has Need of Your Donkey

I love the richness of God’s word. It’s depth is amazing, with teachings for every situation. Through Os Hillman’s calling, we can see how the Lord uses our businesses to bring glory to Him. Had it not been for his (Os’s) calling, we would not be involved with market place ministry nor would we be webcasting drag racing events.

Each of our callings are like ripples in the pond from a tossed pebble. They reach across vast expanses until they come to shore where they are absorbed. Such is our calling in the marketplace. The ripples of our Christ centered living and business practices reach out across our lives and touch people we may never know. The impact is slow and subtle, but significant.

Saved From Such Men

When I first starting my career as a flight engineer for the Air Force, I was dead set on being the best the service had ever seen. I studied night and day and finished the program to fully qualified in about 8 months from the time I finished school in Oklahoma. While not a record, it was ahead of my contemporaries. I did not stop there, next was my quest to become an instructor then finally a flight examiner.

I was fortunate enough to have several great mentors along the way. They all saw my potential and willingly took time to council me even though I may not have wanted their help. Those talks did have impact in my later years in the service. I can still hear one Chief say, “We are here today and gone tomorrow, when you think you’re indispensable, walk down to the bay and pull a bucket of water out of it and see how much difference it makes.” Those were and still are sobering words!

Where Does Wealth Come From?

This devotional does a great job of explaining the reason for wealth. It may not be what you think.

With all of the multi-billionaires in the world, it’s hard to fathom King Solomon being the wealthiest ever. At the end of his life, he had wandered far from the Fathers house. He lamented that all his riches, wives and possessions were for not.

How many of Hollywood’s elite have you seen battle drugs, alcohol or numerous other demons? How many times have we lost a star to drug overdose with them seemingly sitting on top of the world? Money really does not bring happiness, if it did, there would be more happiness in Hollywood than any other place on the planet.

Unexplainable Power

Many years ago a pastor friend ask his congregation, “What has the Lord done in you life lately? If you can not point to a specific item, then you are probably living a religious life instead of walking daily with the Lord.” Initially I thought that was a harsh statement, but have come to realize it’s truth over the last several years.

The growth and financing of our company is a great example of what our Lord has done lately in our lives. Two weeks ago we walked out of the bank wondering how we would fulfill signed contracts we already had and meet the other requests that seemed to flow in daily for the business.
