- [The Garden of Eden Prototype](https://leadingtolife.org/the-garden-of-eden-prototype/) - When God created mankind there was a strong bond between the Creator and the Created. This bond extended to the rest of the earthly creation that God had made. Man was to work with the environment to subdue it and have dominion. In other words, he was to dress and keep it. God and man
- [The Kingdom of God](https://leadingtolife.org/gospel-kingdom-god/) - The world has been successively ruled by kingdoms. From a biblical perspective we see this clearly outlined by Daniel as he explains to the Babylonian king the contents of the king’s dream. Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar, “For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory” (Daniel 2:37). There were to be
- [The Gospel: God's Plan for Humanity](https://leadingtolife.org/gospel-gods-plan-mankind/) - At a time when the world is experiencing so much anger, chaos, lawlessness, frustration and such a bleak future, God's overarching plan for humanity is more vital and critical for us to understand and apply individually than ever before. The Gospel is a message of hope and encouragement that highlights God’s love and mercy for
- [Let the Oppressed Go Free](https://leadingtolife.org/let-the-oppressed-go-free/) - We are all different. But what I find very, very difficult to deal with is man’s inhumanity to his fellow man. We are not caring about or thinking about the effect our behavior is having on other people, whether individually or nationally. For many people on this earth today, human life has very little value.
- [The Pharisee in Me](https://leadingtolife.org/the-pharisee-in-us/) - After Solomon’s Temple was destroyed and the Jews were hauled off in the Babylonian exile, they could no longer come together at the temple in Jerusalem to worship, so they began to develop these local meeting locations where they could come to gather throughout the Babylonian Empire for prayer, to read scripture, and to receive
- [The Prophetic Return of Christ](https://leadingtolife.org/the-prophetic-return-of-christ/) - Our lives consist of and are measured by pivotal events and experiences that change our direction and our behavior. They can change our outlook on life. Throughout history God has placed pivotal events upon humanity to shake us from the paradigms which allow us to justify our behavior, to define for ourselves what is good
- [Take Up Your Cross](https://leadingtolife.org/take-up-your-cross/) - The symbol of the cross is seen nearly everywhere. It’s the universal symbol of Christianity and its meaning becomes uniquely individual when someone chooses to wear a cross. To many, it is a daily testament of Christ’s sacrifice in their life. To others, it serves as a comforting symbol of divine protection and blessing, while
- [The Quantum Mystery And God](https://leadingtolife.org/the-quantum-mystery-and-god/) - Einstein called it 'spooky action at a distance,' but the phenomenon he mocked may illuminate the divine. (Michael Guillén April 12, 2026.) For millennia, the concept of an omniscient God — a deity who knows every sparrow that falls, every thought that forms, and every star that burns across the vast expanse of the cosmos — has boggled
- [Hiding From God](https://leadingtolife.org/hiding-from-god/) - There is a theme that I want to spend time developing on one level which is very simple to understand. But it's much deeper than I sometimes think we take time to think through. Very simply, God formed Adam, placed him in this garden of great abundance, gave him a purpose within that, a job,
- [From Transaction to Transformation:   ](https://leadingtolife.org/from-transaction-to-transformation-how-scripture-frames-law-grace-faith-and-salvation/) - The Invisible Framework We Inherit: How Scripture Frames Law, Grace, Faith, and Salvation I’m sure most Christians assume they understand the relationship between law, grace, and salvation, yet few of us ever pause to examine the framework through which we interpret these concepts. There are, in fact, multiple ways of viewing these theological ideas, and like a
- [The Power of Small](https://leadingtolife.org/the-power-of-small/) - In today’s world, we can all easily walk around exhausted. We often run on empty because we try to survive a perfect storm unique to our time. We are caught between internet algorithms dictating our attention, mega-metrics measuring our worth, and a relentless wave of global awareness, which constantly shakes us. We must be honest
- [Emotions, + or -?](https://leadingtolife.org/emotions-or/) - We all have emotions. God has emotions. Christ had emotions while on the earth as a human. Emotions are a natural part of the human psyche. A dictionary definition is a good place to begin in taking a look at the role emotions play in our lives – or put it another way, the place
- [The Age of Uncertainty](https://leadingtolife.org/the-age-of-uncertainty/) - The Centennial Edition of the Foreign Affairs Journal was a very interesting edition. The cover was absolutely black. And down on the bottom in a smaller space there was an individual holding what looked like a lantern, but it was the globe of the earth, giving off a very faint light and showing up very
- [Job & the Master Potter](https://leadingtolife.org/the-master-potter/) - The Hebrew word for clay is ‘chomer’ which means as bubbling up. That is of water, a wave, of earth, mire, or clay, like cement or mortar. Moses wrote that God formed man out of the dust of the ground (Genesis 2.7) The Hebrew word for dust means clay, earth, mud, ashes, dust, ground, mortar,
- [Mastering True Repentance](https://leadingtolife.org/mastering-true-repentance/) - The author of Hebrews 5: 8-10 captures the essence of Christ: His character, the trials that He suffered, and His authority to become the architect of our redemption. However, after his high praise, the author of Hebrews follows it with a stinging wake-up call to his current and future readers (Hebrews 5:11-14). Because the readers
- [Our Job](https://leadingtolife.org/our-job-2/) - We all have a job. At some stage in life, day after day, we work. Yet sometimes the daily repetition can turn into a blur of years in or outside the home. For 18 long years, I sat in the basement of a hospital, all alone, and programmed a computer to run the air conditioning.
- [Pentecost, the Spiritual Connection](https://leadingtolife.org/pentecost-the-spiritual-connection/) - There are many things that we can learn and understand in our walk with God when we observe God’s walk with the nation of ancient Israel. There’s much about the nation of Israel that sets a pattern for us to learn from. By covenant, they became a called-out people who were destined to live according
- [Let God Prevail](https://leadingtolife.org/let-god-prevail/) - The Book of Ecclesiastes reveals the thorns in our life, the paradoxes, and the quandaries that hit us. Solomon talks about the dilemmas which we all face, the difficulties, predicaments and roadblocks that affect us all (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). And that everything that happens in our life is not unique. At the end of his book,
- [From Self-Reliance to God-Dependence](https://leadingtolife.org/from-self-reliance-to-god-dependence/) - One very consistent failing of all of mankind is a reliance on personal thinking. Self-reliance and the concept of the "self-made man" are marketed as virtues in the world. The narrative suggests that through discipline and effective approaches, man can control his world. One only needs to walk through a bookstore or get on Amazon
- [Counting the Cost](https://leadingtolife.org/counting-the-cost/) - In a recent conversation, someone was reminiscing about their baptism and remembered that at the time they thought they had counted the cost but in the years that followed realized they hadn’t known what that cost was going to involve. Most of us have gone through difficult times within the Church and faced situations and
- [When Leadership Fails –](https://leadingtolife.org/when-leadership-fails/) - What Actually Keeps Us Steady? When things begin to go wrong, the instinct is almost automatic: look for new leadership – or even a new system altogether. A new direction. New policies. A different voice at the top. A different way to distribute power. Surely, if we could just get the right people – or
- [Systematization, Powers, & Living Apart](https://leadingtolife.org/systems-powers-and-living-apart/) - I have been more and more mindful of the changes in our world around systematization and corporatization. I had a front seat to the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, and I’ve been very mindful of the trends since then. The collective response in my industry to the 2008 financial crisis was a greater degree of
- [The Nature of Christ](https://leadingtolife.org/the-nature-of-christ/) - Jesus Christ is possibly the most maligned, misunderstood, and misrepresented human that ever walked the earth. To say that Christ is the Head of the Church is scripturally correct. But what do we have in our mind when we say that? What do we actually think of in terms of His Headship of the Church
- [How do You See God?](https://leadingtolife.org/how-do-you-see-god/) - When we respond to Christ’s direction to “go into your room and when you have shut the door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place,” what visualization of God forms in your mind? When we talk to another person face to face, we see the person we are talking to, and most
- [Why Dress Up for Church Services?](https://leadingtolife.org/why-dress-up-for-church-services/) - Most of us have heard the phrase, “God doesn’t care what you wear.” In one sense, that’s absolutely true. Scripture makes it clear that God looks at the heart, not outward appearance. Faith is not measured by fabric, and righteousness is not stitched into a suit jacket or pressed into a dress shirt. So why,
- [Out of Egypt Again: A Spiritual Pattern of Escape](https://leadingtolife.org/out-of-egypt-again-a-spiritual-pattern-of-escape/) - The Days of Unleavened Bread are seven days of stepping away from leavened bread to step more fully into a life without sin. And more importantly, into a life of conscious dependence on God to make that possible. To the outside observer, it may seem odd, even extreme. But to those who keep it, the
- [A Story of New Beginnings](https://leadingtolife.org/a-story-of-new-beginnings/) - God uses a pattern of "new beginnings" throughout the Bible. These patterns reveal God's persistent love for mankind even when man is rejecting His way of life. In the beginning, "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good . . ." (Genesis 1:31 NIV). Gensis 1:27 says this included the creation
- [The Passover Effect](https://leadingtolife.org/beyond-the-present/) - The world is thrashing around in a leaderless confusion, leaving masses of people to lead meaningless lives. The world doesn’t understand the purpose for our being on this planet. Few people know why they exist. Most don’t know why they are here or where their lives are supposed to be leading them. They may know
- [Is God Truly Unknowable?  ](https://leadingtolife.org/is-god-truly-unknowable/) - For centuries, mainstream Christianity has taught that the Trinity is a divine mystery—something beyond human comprehension. Many theologians insist that we “cannot fully understand the nature of God.” But does this idea align with Scripture? Jesus Himself said, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). And “I have come to reveal
- [Time of Christ's Death and Resurrection](https://leadingtolife.org/time-of-christs-death-and-resurrection/) - We know that the Biblical details of Christ’s death and resurrection are central components of the gospel message. The early New Testament Church kept the Passover as a remembrance of Christ's death. The details surrounding His death and resurrection are also an anchor of our faith. To rehearse some of the timing around the events
- [Is the Web a Source of Wisdom?](https://leadingtolife.org/the-medium-is-the-message/) - We hear very little about wisdom today. Instead, we hear more and more about the importance of information — about the virtues of information and the benefits of increased information. “Big data” and “data mining” are the buzz words of the day. These are quite literally seen by humanity as their savior. But it is
- [A Place to Dwell](https://leadingtolife.org/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, “the home is where the heart is” and I think that’s
- [The Path From Belief to Conviction](https://leadingtolife.org/the-path-of-conviction/) - The word “conviction” is a powerful word in our language. It conjures up ideas of not only a guilty verdict from a courtroom setting, but also a solid or firmly held belief, as in the idea that people should be convicted of what they believe. Vocabulary.com explains this word: “A conviction is something certain: a
- [Three Choices: Good, Evil, & Life](https://leadingtolife.org/good-evil-or-life/) - Author Steven Covey states what distinguishes us as humans is the ability to examine our own character, to choose how to view ourselves and the situations in which we find ourselves, and to control our own effectiveness. This is important because it implies that we can learn the art of ethical behavior and apply it
- [Christ and Moses – Parallel Prophets](https://leadingtolife.org/christ-and-moses-parallel-prophets/) - Australian author Mark Robertson wrote The Enlightened Law of Moses, about the Old Testament. Most people think of the Bible in two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. And in thinking of the Old Testament, they think of that as the Law of Moses, a collection of old Jewish stories, obsolete statutes, sort
- [Subject Matter Experts](https://leadingtolife.org/subject-matter-experts/) - Today I want to go through a story about a fictitious, company, but with real-world events. At Acme Solutions, growth had stalled, projects dragged on. Compliance audits revealed gaps, and customers began losing confidence. The leadership team realized the root cause was a lack of deep expertise. Decisions were slow, errors were costly, and innovations
- [Marriage, a Safe Haven](https://leadingtolife.org/marriage-a-safe-haven-part-1/) - God instituted marriage and the family for procreation to teach us about how He lives. He wants mankind to know what motivates Him, what His purpose is for mankind, and how His nature and character developed in human beings would give families peaceful relationships. If mankind functioned in marriage the way God intended, this world
- [British-Israelism](https://leadingtolife.org/why-israel-2/) - If ideas about Israel are discussed within a non-church environment, it could be quite uncomfortable because many of those ideas can point to some concepts contained in British-Israelism which are widely considered to be racist. British Israelism is a belief that asserts the people of Great Britain are the descendants of ancient Israel. When asked if
- [Purpose of the Law](https://leadingtolife.org/purpose-of-law-the-image-of-god/) - "Where there is no vision, the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18 KJV). The word “vision” in this scripture is used in a prophetic sense, a revealed understanding of a future reality. It says that if we lack a purpose and a clear direction of where we are going and how to get there, we are not
- [God’s Law Builds Relationships](https://leadingtolife.org/gods-law-builds-relationships/) - The law of God requires us to focus very heavily on relationships, our reconciled relationship with the Father dominating. However, from our close relationship with Him flows our relationship with other people. All people are created in the image of God and with the potential to be members of God’s family. We should never lose
- [Did Jesus Fulfill the Law—or God’s Instruction?](https://leadingtolife.org/did-jesus-fulfill-the-law-or-gods-instruction/) - And What’s the Distinction? Most Christians who have heard that Jesus “fulfilled the law,” have often taken it to mean He completed its purpose—checked it off—and therefore believers are no longer bound by it. It’s one of the most widely accepted ideas in Christianity today. Yet few realize that this conclusion doesn’t come from the
- [The Work of God](https://leadingtolife.org/the-work-of-god/) - The message revealing God the Father originated with Jesus Christ (John 1:18) and He had authority to rehearse or unfold who the Father is and what He is doing which is known as "the Work of God" (John 14:7,9). Central to our identity as Christians is "Doing the Work": “Then they said to [Christ], ‘What
- [The Humanist Philosophy of Life](https://leadingtolife.org/humanist-philosophy/) - It would be no overstatement to say that one of this modern world’s most pervasive worldviews is that of humanism. The American Humanist Association defines humanism as “a progressive philosophy of life that, without supernaturalism, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.”
- [8 Steps to Breaking the Cycle of Family Dysfunction](https://leadingtolife.org/8-steps-to-breaking-the-cycle-of-family-dysfunction/) - Tim Stanford wrote an informative and helpful article defining destructive patterns and solutions for dysfunctional behaviors within families. We all have some dysfunction in our family relationships. The link to his article is at the bottom of this page: Destructive relationship patterns can get passed down from one generation to the next. Here's how you
- [Who Are God's Goyim?](https://leadingtolife.org/gods-goyim/) - There are numerous words that we use in our daily vocabulary that have changed meaning over the years. Have we allowed ourselves to appropriate a meaning to the word “Gentile” that was not intended? In Galatians, the second chapter we see Paul giving the account of Peter’s example as a Jew when he separated himself
- [Benefits of Honoring Your Father & Mother](https://leadingtolife.org/the-benefits-of-honoring-your-father-and-mother/) - Honor, Legacy, and Godly Governance After my father’s death, I found myself reflecting on the lessons he tried to instill, the values he lived, and the influence he had on my life. At the same time, I couldn’t help but notice the many broken families around me. These reflections brought deep clarity to the commandment—“Honor
- [Five Attributes that Strengthen Marriages](https://leadingtolife.org/five-attributes-that-strengthen-marriages/) - Devotion to fulfilling marital roles begins with a devoted relationship with the God who created the marriage unit. He gives success to those who are devoted to His pathway to unity. There is just one path: Godly love and respect. Besides being devoted to incorporating love and respect into our marriages through prayer, we need
- [Expressions of Tribalism](https://leadingtolife.org/expression-of-godly-love/) - It is difficult to escape the feeling that our world is becoming more divided by the day. For example, we are hearing more about political identity. While it has been quite customary to identify with some political party in terms of general policy, the term has now developed a sharper edge. Amy Chua writing in
- [Relationship Challenges](https://leadingtolife.org/the-2024-relationship-challenges/) - Due to the natural proclivity of the human mind to focus inward on self, relationships in “the world” are deteriorating. Nations are turning inward as are the communities that form a nation. We see the emergence of what is being called “Identity Politics” and the “New Tribalism.” This is a form of polarization which has
- [Misunderstood Authority?](https://leadingtolife.org/authority/) - The subject of authority is a difficult one because of the many negative applications we see around us. It’s primary association with power, clashes with the natural human desire for autonomy. In our present day, the subject of authority is often confused with authoritarianism and the abuse of power, which creates a negative perception. However,
- [Rising Above the Dating Game](https://leadingtolife.org/rising-above-the-dating-game/) - So, twelve to fifteen years ago I worked in downtown Los Angeles, and I went out to lunch with a friend of mine. We were walking down the street just chatting and for some reason we came around to the topic of dating. He told a story that I found pretty distressing. By his late twenties,
- [A Lasting Reputation](https://leadingtolife.org/a-lasting-reputation/) - “He is a deceiver! He is a blasphemer! He is an enemy to the Law! He is mentally sick!” Who am I talking about? Your boss? The in-laws? Let’s hope not! How about Satan? That would be an accurate description. No, I am talking about Jesus! He was accused of all of the above and
- [Women: Rethinking Self-Image](https://leadingtolife.org/consumed-not-cherished-rethinking-self-image/) - In a culture of exposure, I grew up hearing one message repeated over and over to young men: “Stop viewing women as sexual objects.” It was a needed message. Men needed to be told to see women as human beings—daughters, sisters, mothers, made in the image of God. But lately, I’ve found myself wondering when
- [Sneaking Suspicion](https://leadingtolife.org/sneaking-suspicion/) - It all started when Satan and his angelic followers allowed a sliver of suspicion to enter their minds. It ended in defiant rebellion against the family of God. Satan then planted the seed of suspicion that God was holding something back from Adam and Eve, leading them into disobedience. Cain became suspicious that God preferred
- [Grace Redefined: How Gnostic Thinking Warped Christianity's Teaching](https://leadingtolife.org/grace-redefined-how-gnostic-thinking-warped-christianitys-most-important-teaching/) - What Is Grace… Really? Grace is one of the most talked-about—and misunderstood—concepts in Christianity. Central to salvation, it’s debated across denominations, with few agreeing on exactly what it means. For many today, grace boils down to this: “I don’t have to do anything—Jesus did it all.” But is that what the Bible teaches? Or has
- [Husbands – A New Creation](https://leadingtolife.org/husbands-a-new-creation/) - John 1.1 states: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God." These two beings decided to make humankind similar to Them: And God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness; And God created man in
- [Staying in the Right Lane](https://leadingtolife.org/staying-in-the-right-lane-2/) - I live just outside Denver, Colorado, and commute into the city for work. Over the past two years, I’ve noticed certain patterns in traffic flow. One of the four lanes available to me is the one that gets me to work in fifteen short minutes. In the “right lane,” the journey is consistent, a proven
- [Fulfillment of the Law](https://leadingtolife.org/fulfillment-of-the-law-2/) - Most Christians believe that Jesus Christ kept the laws of the Old Testament fully and that the law, therefore, was completed or accomplished — and done away. But is this really what the Bible teaches? You can find plenty of theological explanations that point out that Jesus Himself said that He came to fulfill the
- [The Lying Epidemic](https://leadingtolife.org/the-lying-epidemic/) - The position of being separated from God leaves a person very exposed to the forces of destruction. Through the prophet Isaiah, God states, “But your iniquities have separated you from your God…” (Isaiah 59:2). Sin and God simply do not mix. Not that God doesn’t give space for sin to be repented of – He
- [Anger Incubator](https://leadingtolife.org/anger/) - The American Civil War, like all wars, was a brutal one. More Americans died in it than in all the wars our country has been involved in from that time forward, up through the Korean War. That is hard to believe, isn’t it? All we have to do to confirm it is to consult the
- [Choose Life](https://leadingtolife.org/choose-life-2/) - As God prepared Israel for its occupation of the land of Canaan – the land He had promised them – He firmly reminded them of the centrality of His law to their existence. He told them that His commandments were near to them – in their hearts (Deuteronomy 30:11-14). God’s law set two clear and
- [Life After Death](https://leadingtolife.org/life-after-death/) - The concepts of heaven and hell require that a person lives in some form after death. You don’t really die. Both heaven and hell are places where people live for eternity. If you wanted an expert in the field of going to heaven, I doubt you could do better than Billy Graham. He says: “Heaven
- [Agape Love](https://leadingtolife.org/the-sabbath-and-agape-love/) - I would like to consider an approach to the fourth commandment, around the concept of Godly love, stemming from the Greek word “agape." Within religious communities, there are stark differences. Christians often reject the fourth commandment as it is stated in the Bible, whereas observant Jews often adhere to it with Pharisaical strictness. Yet God
- [The Holy Spirit Versus “I”](https://leadingtolife.org/the-holy-spirit-versus-i/) - How many times a day do we use the words “me,” “myself,” or “I”? I tried keeping track once and finally gave up because I lost count. Have we considered just how powerful that “I” is? Our mind’s eye, personalities, and core existence. Let’s look at exactly what we’re up against when we pit our
- [The Power of Example Over Argument](https://leadingtolife.org/the-power-of-example-over-argument/) - Living the Convincing Life In a world filled with endless noise – where every platform demands an opinion and every disagreement sparks debate – there’s something quietly powerful about a life well-lived. Not staged, not loud, not attention-seeking – but a sincere life that reflects the character and nature of God. From Genesis to Revelation,
- [Cognitive Science & Scripture](https://leadingtolife.org/cognitive-science-scripture-reveal-a-pattern-for-spiritual-growth/) - A Pattern for Spiritual Growth: Humans Don’t Just Believe — We Act Every human being operates through a built-in pattern: we think, we act, and we evaluate. Cognitive scientists describe this as a feedback loop, the mechanism through which people learn skills, solve problems, and grow in expertise. But this loop doesn’t just shape careers
- [Confidence, Esteem and Self-Image](https://leadingtolife.org/confidence-esteem-and-self-image/) - How a person envisions or defines himself is one of the most influential facets of a person's world view and his place in it. This image is intertwined with his confidence which enables him to face adversity, meet challenges, and focus on threats unfettered by the shackles of fear. If one does not have a
- [Freedom to Choose](https://leadingtolife.org/freedom-to-choose/) - I was talking with someone who was struggling to believe in the existence of God. His main arguments were regarding the sovereignty of God: “If God is an all-powerful, all-knowing God, then why didn't He know that Satan, or Lucifer at that time, would rebel and cause so much trouble for Him? And why did
- [Men: Reclaiming Godly Masculinity](https://leadingtolife.org/men-reclaiming-whats-been-lost/) - There’s something profoundly broken in how men view women today—and it didn’t happen by accident. From a young age, boys are bombarded with sexualized images of the female body at a scale never before seen in human history. Algorithms push it. Culture glorifies it. But at the same time, those same boys are told that the
- [Keynesian Economics](https://leadingtolife.org/keynesian-economics-vs-jubilee-which-works/) - We have a responsibility to consider God’s ways and His instructions versus man’s ways. God created all things and in that creation He installed two trees in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:9,16-17). He explained the situation. He provided context and information for the people that He created and put in the Garden of Eden
- [How Hell Got Hijacked        ](https://leadingtolife.org/how-hell-got-hijacked/) - The Hell You Know Isn’t the Hell the Bible Describes Fiery pits. Demons with pitchforks. Sinners screaming in endless agony.It’s the stuff of horror movies, comic strips – and, for many, Sunday sermons. But is this disturbing picture of hell really what the Bible teaches? Surprisingly, the modern concept of hell owes more to Greek
- [Hindrances of Unity](https://leadingtolife.org/hindrances-of-unity/) - Paul stresses the importance of unity to the Church in Ephesus: “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in
- [What is Human Greatness?](https://leadingtolife.org/what-is-human-greatness-to-you/) - What is human greatness to you? What sort of definition comes to your mind when you think of someone being “great”? Some might think of personality, intellect, wealth or physical prowess as something that sets someone in the realm of the “great.” Obvious and publicized accomplishments that make one’s name widely recognized would surely be
- [The Gnostic Ghost in the Modern Church](https://leadingtolife.org/the-gnostic-ghost-in-the-modern-church/) - Why Gnosticism’s influence isn’t just in fringe cults—but in the mirror. Gnosticism. The word is often thrown out in theological debates like a smoke bomb—meant to discredit or dismiss. It’s used to label strange, esoteric beliefs or obscure sects clinging to long-lost “gospels” like The Gospel of Thomas or The Gospel of Mary. We tend
- [Avoiding Simple-Mindedness](https://leadingtolife.org/simple-mindedness/) - I want to begin with a clearer understanding of simple-mindedness with a quote from Signs of Being Simple-Minded: "Understanding what it means to be simple-minded involves recognizing certain characteristics and their implications for how individuals perceive, process information, and interact with the world. While the term “simple-minded” can carry different connotations depending on context, it
- [The 3rd Commandment](https://leadingtolife.org/the-3rd-commandment/) - God has provided us with some very clear directives as to how a relationship with Him is to be developed. It is summarized in the first four commandments. My focus will be on the third commandment: "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold
- [Death Without Fear](https://leadingtolife.org/death-without-fear/) - The concept of resurrection from the dead is a continuous theme throughout the Bible. Jesus, during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, was the first to be resurrected. Then during Pentecost, we are reminded of God’s plan involving several distinct periods of time in which He works to bring humanity to salvation, to eternal life. Those
- [The Church Across the Ages](https://leadingtolife.org/the-church-across-the-ages/) - A Prophetic Journey Through Church Eras God's Church has walked a long and often difficult path for nearly two millennia. Despite enduring external persecution and internal division, it has never ceased to exist. It endures—sometimes visibly organized, often scattered—through the lives of individuals and communities determined to uphold God’s truth. This enduring legacy is often
- [Who Controls You?](https://leadingtolife.org/who-controls-you/) - Some people are able to lead others minds, controlling the direction of thought without them even knowing the trap they are falling into. Many do not recognize that shrewd deception and tactics are being used to gain control of their thinking and behavior. Personally, I think the subject of control is a serious subject and
- [Taking God Seriously](https://leadingtolife.org/taking-god-seriously/) - Ancient Israel experiences in the 40 years of wilderness wanderings can be a good mirror for us. Their example reveals many aspects of our nature: “Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and
- [Single-Mindedness, Key to Handling Tests & Trials](https://leadingtolife.org/single-mindedness-a-key-to-handling-trials/) - Some often feel that when a tragedy strikes that the people involved are the worse sinners on the planet. However, the bible teaches that time and chance can happen to us all: “There were present at that season some who told [Jesus] about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

- [Are Acts of Violence God's Judgement?](https://leadingtolife.org/are-acts-of-violence-gods-judgement/) - Judgement is a subject that raises many issues among God’s people because, on the one hand, we are to make judgements and on the other hand, we are not to judge.

For this reason, we are admonished to be watchful: “Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is
- [Why Not Steal?](https://leadingtolife.org/why-not-steal/) - We think there's a growing sentiment in the world that the idea of right and wrong is somewhat arbitrary.

Hedonistic relativism is

- [Establishing Thoughts](https://leadingtolife.org/establishing-thoughts/) - A wonderful aspect of God’s creation is the human mind. Certainly man has a physical brain like animals, but the exceptionalism is in the fact that God has given man an additional spirit that animals do not have. This spiritual component empowers the brain to provide wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the physical environment in
- [An End Time Indicator](https://leadingtolife.org/an-end-time-indicator/) - In Matthew 24:12, the context of a statement by Christ is the time indicating Christ’s coming and the end of the age.

It is not at all unusual to feel alone the farther and farther away that this world veers from God’s righteous path.

- [A Positive Outlook](https://leadingtolife.org/a-positive-outlook/) - We can learn a lot from what God has designed in nature. Take the honeybee for instance. A close observation would reveal seemingly tireless workers. They routinely will carry dirty foreign matter out of the hive to keep their product clean and pure. Some of them faithfully take care of the one queen bee that
- [How Do We Use Authority?](https://leadingtolife.org/how-do-we-use-authority/) - When we consider biblical authority and how we should use authority, do we consider it from man’s perspective or God's perspective?

- [When You Are Accused](https://leadingtolife.org/when-you-are-the-accused/) - It is understood that at some point in our lives we will all be accused of wrongdoing.

- [Digital Distraction](https://leadingtolife.org/digital-distraction/) - If there has ever been a group of people that are called upon to use their minds, it is the people of God who have chosen to live His way of life. When I say, “use our minds”, I don’t mean human reasoning or logic; there is to be an emphasis on teaching, thinking, and
- [Courtesy](https://leadingtolife.org/courtesy/) - The political discourse of this country and indeed, the globe, is gnashing, antagonistic and very personal. We see this erupting into brawls and looting, cruelty and even killings. That feeling of the breakdown of civilization is palpable and it is depressing to see videos on You Tube praising the smallest act of kindness. The sort
- [Is Christ Your King?](https://leadingtolife.org/is-christ-your-king/) - When Christ returns, every human ruler will be dethroned and every idol will be dismantled. We who have already accepted Christ’s dominion look forward to that time. But do we really see our King clearly?

- [Horses Show How to Be at Rest with God](https://leadingtolife.org/horses-show-how-to-be-at-rest-with-god/) - There is a technique in horse breaking, or horse gentling called "joining up".

They are big and magnificent. Imagine you’ve been given the responsibility
- [The Purpose of Righteousness](https://leadingtolife.org/the-purpose-of-righteousness/) - Even within Christian churches that look fairly homogeneous doctrinally-speaking, we can find diverse attitudes. For example, there are currents of more liberal or fundamentalist approaches to religious practice. One such current that can be problematic within churches is self-rightness.

- [God's Image](https://leadingtolife.org/one-god-god/) - Since the beginning of time, there have been many man-devised idols of bizarre appearance. Men have always bowed down to the ground before carved stones, wood or even photographs. But only one God is God!

- [The Importance of Fellowship](https://leadingtolife.org/the-importance-of-fellowship/) - What makes God’s people stand out? What makes us different from the world around us?

- [As A Little Child](https://leadingtolife.org/becoming-little-child-3/) - In a family relationship, children play an important role and help contextualize the meaning of God’s government in the realm of human beings. We all understand, academically, that we are children of God, but adults think, reason, and act differently than children do. This is the natural progression of maturity. As adults, molded by the
- [Training to Be Leaders](https://leadingtolife.org/training-to-be-leaders/) - The early 1900’s was a heroic age of exploration. Limits were pushed on all fronts and among these was the British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition led by Ernest Shackleton. From 1914 to 1916, the expedition was to cross Antarctica.

- [Our Old Man](https://leadingtolife.org/our-old-man/) - In assessing the many aspects of the body of Christ, the thing that stands out to me is that we have a personal responsibility to the body. We cannot sidestep that. We could summarize that responsibility as: “But the manifestation of the Spirit (or the fruit or the expression of the Spirit) is given to
- [Longsuffering](https://leadingtolife.org/longsuffering/) - The headline in a recent Wall Street Journal was titled “War in the Middle East is closer than you think.” It didn’t say ‘might be closer’ rather “it is closer than you think”. The subhead to that was: “Russia isn’t parked, (It has not stopped its development of the war with the Ukraine.) Iran isn’t
- [God Is with His People](https://leadingtolife.org/god-is-with-his-people/) - One way that we can make sense of the Church today is to look at the blueprint of how God built up a people to be His people. Since Christ doesn’t change, His consistency will be evident in how He dealt with ancient Israel and how He deals with the Church today. As Moses prepared
- [The Missing Dimension in Morality](https://leadingtolife.org/morality/) - We have a very real problem that pervades our world – and that problem is the missing dimension of morality.

- [The Nature of Peace](https://leadingtolife.org/the-nature-of-peace/) - This world does not reflect the nature of a loving God. The relationship between the Creator and His creation has been broken. However, this condition has a limited allotment of time before God moves to restore all things to Himself. Everything seen and unseen was created for a purpose and existed under the loving care
- [True Character](https://leadingtolife.org/true-character/) - One take away we could observe from the recent U.S. mid-term elections is that character was a major factor. To clarify, there are two types of character. One is the way the world looks at character, and the other is from God’s point of view. We need to be clear about the difference. The world

- [A Future and a Hope](https://leadingtolife.org/a-future-and-a-hope/) - We have seen lots of cultural revolutions in this country, but now the foundations of this country are being razed.

- [God’s Origin Story](https://leadingtolife.org/gods-origin-story/) - The Judeo-Christian story, when understood and applied correctly, is not founded on the universe but on the One who created it and the purpose for which He created it.

That seems to be a big factor behind a lot of the anti-social activity we see. They don’t know what their life is about. Religion, politics, and the culture at large fail to give any essential
- [The Impact of the Passover](https://leadingtolife.org/the-impact-of-the-passover-2/) - We can know from careful Bible study the actual Passover is an annual event, not weekly. It’s a much more serious occasion. It is the beginning of God’s plan. Without it, we could go no further. For ancient Israel, the Passover made possible their release from bondage. Later, when God delivered the Ten Commandments at
- [Is Jesus God?](https://leadingtolife.org/jesus-god/) - Jesus Christ came to pay the penalty for our sins in our stead.
