A better life, a better ministry, a better church starts with self-examination. The examination may be to determine the origin of the symptoms that are indicating to you that there's more that can be done in your life. That examination may be in looking at the missteps or what we in education call, doing a miscue analysis, to see whether the processes that we have in place in the name of serving people the Gospel of Jesus Christ are really producing the outcomes that the scriptures promise. We may need to examine and revisit our definition of the church, because in order to do it better we...

'Leadership' is crucial to contemporary business, politics, and organizations of every type, including the corporate, non-profit, educational, and government sectors. While modern leadership theorists suggest various models, traits, and approaches to leadership behavior that purport novelty, Ecclesiastes just may have been right that 'There is nothing new under the sun'. The biblical figure of Moses - a familiar name both to adherents of the Western religious traditions and to people who are not - provides an exemplary model of effective leadership that is broadly applicable. Moses is...

Women today inhabit and excel in every profession, yet many Christian women wonder about the value of work outside the home. And in circles where the traditional family model is highly regarded, many working women who sense a call to work find little church or peer support.

In A Woman's Place, Katelyn Beaty, print managing editor of Christianity Today and cofounder of...

After reading David Hope>s newest book, Unveiling Satan's Plan to
Destroy America, yeah, the second time, I am convinced that certain
of our nation's public leadership (and those that are clandestine) are in
collusion with Satan directly. And that collusion is to destroy our blessed
nation and to create a global government.
Indeed, the author educates the reader fully through history of nations
that have lost all through communism, socialism, and the removal of
Christianity. I am especially taken aback by how our governmental
leadership has...

It is time to recapture this simple yet profound truth and get back to the basics of making fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. The authors developed and launched a highly successful pathway to discipleship in their church (Morning Star UMC, in St.Louis). Here, they show others...

The Bible's version of leadership is pretty different from--and sometimes alien to--that of the business world. It is also dissimilar from our usual assumptions about what makes a great leader in the church, where we tend to focus on preaching ability, strategic hutzpah, and managerial savvy.

But what if the Bible actually points toward a different set of characteristics necessary for leadership? What if our weakness is an essential qualification? Do we know our limitations, our inabilities? Do we see clearly our vulnerable, broken selves? Do we really believe that God's strength is...

Every once in a while a book comes along that offers a different take on leadership. Every leader needs goals, objectives, people skills, and technical expertise to succeed. However, they also need a reason for leading in the first place. That reason is ultimately God's Purpose for our lives.
