leadership christian dream
"How" is what kills vision and dreams. Don't ask "How" until we figure out the "What". The "How" can kill the "What".
dream ideas people
People without clear vision are easily distracted, have a tendency to drift from one idea to another and often make foolish decisions that rob them of their dreams.
dream giving world
If fear causes you to retreat from your dreams, you will never give the world anything new.
faith dream reality
Strange as it may sound, it is more difficult to maintain a faith walk when we begin to see our dreams come true. When hopes become realities it is easy to shift our faith onto the thing we have dreamed of and off of the One who was the source of our provision.
dream memories ends
When your memories exceed your dreams, the end is near.
dream broken people
Nothing has stolen more dreams, dashed more hopes, broken up more families, and messed up more people psychologically than our propensity to disregard God's commands regarding sexual purity.
dream differences being-different
Dreamers dream about things being different. Visionaries envision themselves making a difference.
applicable equally life relevant scripture
All Scripture is equally inspired, but not all Scripture is equally applicable or relevant to every stage of life.
buying change checks church developed last leadership matured structure
The church wasn't an organization in the first century. They weren't writing checks or buying property. The church has matured and developed over the years. But for some reason, the last thing to change is the structure of leadership.
christian children home
I'm concerned about the plight of children. But I'm not on a mission to get all the available orphans in the world adopted into Christian homes.
night issues care
I'm not a philanthropist. While I care about the poor, the issue of local or global poverty doesn't keep me up at night.
generosity effort may
While generosity may be the antidote for the dizzying effects of wealth, your appetite for more may function as an antidote against God-honoring generosity. Your appetite for more stuff, status, and security has the potential to quash your efforts to be generous. And that's a problem.
writing generosity giving
Generosity won't happen unless you make it a priority. The best way to make giving a priority is to make it the very first check you write every month. Before the mortgage. Before groceries or clothing. Before saving. Whatever the amount, do it first.
thinking generosity effort
Generosity helps us make a concerted effort to keep the needs of others in the forefront of our thinking. Not for guilt's sake, but for the sake of being good stewards of the resources we have been privileged to manage.
