Time and Chance Happens to All

Solomon addresses an issue that causes a great deal of perplexity to people because heā€™s made this statement that the righteous and wise and their works are in the hand of God (Ecclesiastes 9:1). At first that sounds like a great place to be. Then he says: ā€œAll things come alike to all: One event happens to the righteous and the wicked; To the good, the clean, and the unclean; To him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; He who takes an oath as he who … [Read more...] about Time and Chance Happens to All

The Search for Significance

Today, the entire world finds itself in a time of vast, uneasy change, where economic, social, political, and religious turmoil are the rule of the day not the exception. And now, we hear about the advent of AI. Our minds can only imagine how much thatā€™s going to accelerate or increase what is already uneasy change. Already, the constant bombardment produces a toxic environment of unresolved stress. Unresolved stress leads to disconnected lives. Disconnected lives lead to helplessness. … [Read more...] about The Search for Significance

The True Nature of Leadership

I think we can say factually that we are in a crisis of leadership in this country and the world.  It is not just political government.  Leadership is also suffering in education, business, city governments, families and in the Churches. Today I want to take a practical look at this issue of leadership. Itā€™s not so much a discussion of leadership principles but more about the whole concept of leadership, the nature of leadership. First, I want to look at leadership from a worldly … [Read more...] about The True Nature of Leadership

Godly Justice

Administering justice is a major theme of the Bible. King David administered justice to all his people (2 Samuel 8:15).  Indeed, God expects His people to administer justice: "Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?" (1 Corinthians 6.2-3). So that is the question: Do you and I practice justice … [Read more...] about Godly Justice

A Place to Dwell

What does a home mean to you?  I think if we are like most people, our homes are extremely important to us, and they take a tremendous amount of our time and resources to acquire and maintain.  There is a popular saying which says, ā€œthe home is where the heart isā€ and I think thatā€™s a valid statement. Our hearts crave certain things for our homes.  There is a practical side of it all where we try extremely hard to create and operate within a framework that provides … [Read more...] about A Place to Dwell

The Necessity of Stress

The Biosphere II project was an innovative research tool for scientists to study earthā€™s living systems.  It provided a controlled environment for scientists to experiment with farming and innovation without damaging the planet.  One of the most surprising findings from the project was the role wind and rain played in the growth of trees.  Scientists observed that trees inside the dome grew more rapidly than those outside.  They also fell over before reaching … [Read more...] about The Necessity of Stress

Conquering the Struggle

Is there a more maligned name than the name of Jesus Christ?  I just recently read something written by Jim Wallis whoā€™s known as an evangelical pastor, a social activist, and a voice of the left-wing of the religious party, the religious left.  He says: ā€œIt is essential that we understand the religious nature of our present crisis.  At this point, ā€œJesusā€ is still a very useful tool in the hands of tyrants.  The liberationists, socialists, barbarians, and Scythians can … [Read more...] about Conquering the Struggle
