I remember when I was ten years old and I was chosen by a coach to play club soccer.  It was a special moment in my childhood and it felt amazing to think someone else wanted me.  I was recruited for a specific purpose (play halfback) on a specific team and due to my specific talents (left footed and could run forever).  I was pumped. Leadership in God’s eyes is the same

Timothy was a young man mentored by Paul in both his faith and leadership.  Over the next several weeks we will be diving into 1 & 2 Timothy to learn how we can also grow in our faith and leadership.  This is the first in a series of articles on "Becoming a Complete Leader". 2 Timothy 3:16-17 is a very popular verse and worthy of it. Paul writes (ESV), “All Scripture is breathed

We live in a time where leaders have to have a critical eye.  Evaluate, fix it, evaluate, fix it, etc... Leaders do this on a corporate level (within a church or small group) and on an individual level (personally and with others).  Jesus modeled this at times by severely rebuking his disciples and giving them clear correction in the way they were thinking and behaving.  When we

Success is a trap that many people know about but have a hard time dealing with in reality.  Billy Graham warned us when asked what is the greatest danger to evangelicalism.  His answer: Success. Sometimes it’s hard to see how success is influencing us in a negative way.  It is subtle, yet still dangerous.  For example, I just listened to a sermon (2/7/11) by Mark

For some, you are offended because of the title alone. Why?  Because people who are homosexually inclined (same-sex attraction, but not sexually involved) or homosexually active (engaged in sexual activity) are gross to you.  Whether it is a sin or not- which I will address, so hold on, it just doesn't make sense to you.  You can watch on TV two heterosexuals engage in premarital

So I'm in a meeting with a friend in a tranquil and quiet area of Temecula. We walk outside to sit down and pray under the beautiful blue sky and to share about life and pray.  As we're praying for each other and our church, I'm completely enjoying the environment and the time of prayer.
