Most of us, if not all of us, serve on a team/staff of some sort. Whether it’s in our workplace, at church, or in a community organization, we serve alongside others and answer to a leader/direct report. As the member of a team our goal should always be, “How can I excel in the role [...]

A Creative Live Performance – The Killers

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , on December 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »

I came across this video of The Killers performing their new song, “Human” on the EMA Awards recently. I can’t say I necessarily endorse everything The Killers do or stand for, but this is one of the most creative live performances I’ve ever seen!

Humility in Ministry

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on December 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

The concept of having humility in ministry seems kind of obvious, but can actually be rather difficult.  Ministers are often in front of everyone, leading the masses toward Christ – while this is a great task, the great difficulty can be to remain humble.

I really had no preference as to who won the Heisman Trophy tonight until I saw this video. It tells the story of Florida Gators’ starting quarterback, Tim Tebow. He’s not only the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and the 2nd player ever to be nominated for the award a second year, he’s also a devoted [...]

Posted in Christ-Inspired Thoughts, tagged , on December 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Imagine our lives without envy. No longer striving to be like someone else.  To have a car or house like someone else.  To buy an outfit to look like someone else.  What would happen if we truly lived our lives out of contentment?  Not to settle or simply accept our circumstances, but to be content [...]
