Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And […]

Ripples

Happy Monday! My last couple of posts inspire today’s word-of-the-week… RIPPLES I’ve been thinking and writing about Influence for a few days. I have no desire for power, but I want to be intentional about enhancing my influence. Last week I compared our influence to the Ripples created by a falling leaf on the surface […]

Cutting Ties

I’ve purposely de-friended and un-followed a few of my online connections recently. Have you ever done that? It’s difficult. I don’t want to offend or hurt anyone’s feelings. These folks weren’t being overtly profane or abusive. I’m just taking a little of my own advice (What Do You Think About?) In response to that post, […]

What Do You Think About?

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Becky said something to me the other day that’s been bouncing around in my brain. We were talking about some issue and she said, “You […]
