Call To Active Duty

February 4, 2010

By Evelyn W. Davison

All across America, there's a shaking going on. People are shaking their heads at how important it is to practice, protect and preserve our rights to pray—anywhere, anytime.

I received a recent news report that there are seven terrorist cell groups who are operating in many of our churches and ministries. They have been identified as: Bin Sleepin, Bin Arguin, Bin Fightin, Bin Complainin, Bin Deceivin, Bin Stealin, and Bin Missin.

What is Jesus' Gospel?

February 2, 2010

By Bill Gaultiere

To follow Jesus we need to believe his gospel. What was the Good News that Jesus preached, taught, and manifested? Christians have different answers:

"Jesus died on the cross for you so you could be forgiven and go to heaven when you die."

"Jesus came to set us free from oppression and now we need to extend his compassion to those in need."

Partnering with Pros - Life Coach Jerome Daley

February 1, 2010

By Linda Jewell

Have you ever felt like you're bungling around, trying to figure out God's will for your life?  Or, even if you're clear that God has given you a message, a ministry and a mission, do you sometimes get lost? Sometimes get stuck? Sometimes get discouraged?

Personality Training - Equipping Others for Peaceful Living

February 1, 2010

By Linda Gilden

Romans 12:18  "If it is possible as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone."

If we are true to that verse, we cannot be selective in practicing it. Neither can we limit ourselves to equipping others through our Personality Training seminars. We must be available to train people in the church, workplace, educational arenas, and more.

While I was judging a literary meet at a local school, one of the administrators stopped by to chat. She mentioned a problem in one of the classrooms.

Using The Personalities as a Teacher

February 1, 2010

By Sharon Norris Elliott

I teach high school students and their world is all about them, so they particularly enjoy thinking and talking about themselves.

I introduce the personalities to them not only to help them know more about themselves, but also to help me understand their idiosyncracies. My passion is not only to teach, but to touch my students in a profound way. Knowing which students are born leaders (cholerics), perfectionists (melancholies), peace-seekers (phlegmatics), and joy producers (sanguines) gives me a heads-up on how to best relate to and reach them.

Out of the Overflow - A Lesson in Clay

February 1, 2010

By Betty Southard

Not long ago I attended a day retreat at the Center for Spiritual Development. I had been so busy for several weeks, and was feeling drained and burned out. I needed refreshment, time and space away from all my responsibilities. Even though I kept up my regular daily time with the Lord, I would often find my mind shifting over to what needed to be accomplished that day. I find it very helpful to get away from home, the phone, computer, all the "shoulds" that confront me everywhere to concentrate on the Lord. 

With anticipation, I drove to the retreat center. The day started with some Scripture reading, contemplation, times of silence and prayer. Then we were offered options to do during a scheduled three-hour time of silence. One of the options was to take a hunk of clay, and shape it into whatever form came to mind. Having never worked with clay, I didn't know how or where to begin. Briefly turning to the Lord in prayer, I asked for an idea. Mary, the mother of Jesus, came to mind. My personal verse for the year had been a repeat of her answer to Gabriel, "May it be to me according to your word." A prayer of submission and commitment to do His will. As I thought about Mary, I realized that she gave life to our Lord and Savior. Through that life, Jesus, God has given you and me new life.

Blogging from Your Passion

February 1, 2010

By Lee Warren

I've been a fan of the Kansas City Royals since my uncle from Kansas City came to visit family in Omaha, where I live, when I was a boy. After visiting with everybody, he'd grab a transistor radio, sneak out to my grandparent's front porch and turn on the Royals game.

I followed him.
