A Brief Article that Every Believer Should Read: Rest in God’s Faithfulness, Not Yours

Think about this. The One who created and controls the world, the One who is the ultimate definition of what is loving, true, and good, and the One who alone has the power to finally defeat sin has chosen, because of his grace, to wrap his arms of faithful love and protection around you, and he will not let you go. You can take your life off your shoulders because God has placed it on his. This doesn’t mean that it doesn’t matter how you live, but that your security is not found in your faithfulness, but in his.


One of the Most Significant Books that I’ve Read in my Lifetine: The Magna Carta of Humanity: Sinai’s Revolutionary Faith and the Future of Freedom

It’s not light reading, but it is so incredibly insightful. What a perfect picture of where America is today!
In these stormy times, loud voices from all fronts call for revolution and change. But what kind of revolution brings true freedom to both society and the human soul? Cultural observer Os Guinness explores the nature of revolutionary faith, contrasting secular revolutions such as the French Revolution and the faith-led revolution of ancient Israel. He argues that the story of Exodus is the highest, richest, and deepest vision for freedom in human history.

A Great Business Read: Everyday People, Extraordinary Leadership: How to Make a Difference Regardless of Your Title, Role, or Authority

A book about leadership for people who are not in formal or hierarchical leadership positions, Everyday People, Extraordinary Leadership provides readers with a comprehensive and practical approach to addressing leadership challenges, no matter the setting or circumstance. Esteemed scholars and sought-after consultants Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner adapt their trademark The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® framework to today’s more horizontal workplace, showing people that leadership is not about where you are in the organization; it’s about how you behave and what you do.

Everyday People, Extraordinary Leadership draws on the authors’ deep well of research and practical experience to cover key subjects:

  • The essence of making a difference in any role, setting, or situation 
  • The difference between positions of authority and leadership
  • The importance of self-development in leadership development
