Exceeding Customers Expectations, It’s a People Thing

7 Feb

Fernando, Jon, Ronnie & Todd. One waiters, one electrician, along with a husband & wife photographer team, what on earth could they have in common? They are all really good at their job, but really that doesn’t get them in a blog post. No, they are great at their jobs and make you glad they [...]

A Fast & Smart Organization

5 Feb

I’ve heard a lot of talk the past few years on fast companies are the new big. Where conglomerates once stood now are surrendering their places to companies that are able to react quickly. However being able to jump from one trend to another isn’t good enough. (See my post from last week ) A [...]

Hype is Worthless

15 Jan

Hype is giving something more exposure than it is due. This takes place all the time. American news is almost entirely hype, focusing on short term unimportant news entertainment. Our lives are so sadly centered around celebrities. Let me translate that for you: centered around people we have never meet! Quit the hype, focus on [...]

Christmas & Christ’s Return

20 Dec

There is no denying that we are in the Christmas season. This time when we celebrate Christ’s birth. Yet I can’t help but think that we are in the same kind of silence that the people of Israel were on the holiest of nights. We are approaching 2,000 years since the last word of Scripture [...]

Why I Refuse to be Afraid

4 Dec

Things are going on in my life that should terrify me, and to be honest, at times they do. During these times the Enemy has continued to chant in my ear, “there is no way God could love me.” As I have dwelt upon this thought I have come to one conclusion, Satan is telling [...]

Liberal Theology & Legalism: A Working (In Progress) Definition

15 Nov

I was raised from the age of 12 to 18-19 in a liberal organization that self identified as a congregation. It is my intention to define both Liberal Theology as well as Legalism and explain why they have no place in the church. Liberal Theology is the elevation of personal experience, emotion, or anything else [...]

Why It’s Great to Fail

23 Oct

There are many reasons that failing sucks. Mostly the fear of it becoming public. There is a huge blessing to failing, you get to learn from it.

Questions to Ask When: I Make a Mistake

18 Oct

You may not be like me, but I am an expert… at making mistakes. I have fully and freely engaged in making many of them, so much so that I start to ask the same questions when I do. And when I say mistake I mean a mistake, not a sin, not I did something [...]

Writing as a Discipline

16 Oct

For me I could likely talk only to pause for drink and food for 5 hours. As an extravert I could carry on a conversation for at least twice as long. My point is that it is robbing nothing of me to put me on a stage or in a pulpit I have always naturally [...]

7 Reasons We Must Correct Others

4 Oct

We are called to correct people, when we don’t we aren’t saying ‘I love you’, we’re saying ‘I don’t love you enough to let you know.’ 1. Scripture clearly demands it. There is no getting around it. Jesus himself requires it in Matt 18. 2. It prevents miss communication. 3. It makes us check our [...]
